DPP: Wish List & Coping

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

During the last few episodes of BSG, I was scribbling down all of my thoughts and predictions as to what might happen during the finale. Then the finale happened and I needed to find a way to accept what happened and how it ALL ended. So other than crying, talking with all of you lovely peeps; I wrote a list in the middle of the night. My version of what I’m thankful for that we got to see with pilots and what I wish we had gotten to see. This list made me more functional for the work week after the finale.

What I would like to know is what did you all do to cope with finale? Did you rewrite the end; create happy pilot gifs and icons? Did you make lists? I’m really curious about those who came into fandom after the finale.  Also, did anyone else have a wish list for pilots, things that we should have gotten to see?

If this doesn't work or you want me to post it on another sight, just let me know.

"My main problem, though, is that deep down I know everything was lazy writing. RDM killed Kara for the shock value"

This is my biggest problem with the finale (as far as Kara and Lee are concerned, that is). And my biggest problem with the series as a whole. Kara's death and return always felt more than a little contrived to me. I mean, I loved to have her back and some of the scenes she had with Lee afterwards were just beautiful and a real testament to the level of their connection, but it made no sense and it was not necessary. It was one more device to keep them artificially apart.
If the whole thing had been better written, and they hadn't denied them more of a closure at some point in the story, I would have been able to accept her disappearance/death in the end. Then, I could have felt more at peace with their tragical, bittersweet end.

Totally agree. The most frustrating thing is when you hear RDM say that they didn't have any plan for Kara. They killed her because it was cool. You know, I still can't believe how they didn't make the Kara and Daniel connection, or why they didn't make Kara a cylon... The worst thing, though, is that Kara barely had any real character development in S4 and S4.5... everything about her felt so disjointed.

ITA. I never expected a happy ending for them and I was fine with that, but I wanted something that made sense... I had to fanwank everything in order to achieve some level of acceptance and peace, and that pisses me off.
