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?

Here is a link for a zip file of all the songs mentioned in yesterday's DPP: Megaupload

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


**REMINDER: The revelations for the challenge from last week are due Sunday, May 16th.**
I was supposed to post this yesterday but I fail!:)

You wouldn't believe that I stared at the tv after the credits rolled for about 15 minutes, I just couldn't believe that Kara poofed

Yes, THIS. I was dumb-founded. I too just blankly stared at the tv waiting for it to somehow get fixed. ARGH. I still feel rage over it all. I remember watching throughout 4.5, waiting to see what they would do with K/L, I naively had faith...even with only 10 minutes left in the finale...that a satisfactory K/L ending was still coming. Afterward I cried for about a week. I still feel rage thinking about it. Honestly, I've rewatched through S3's The Passage and then I get stuck. I can't even rewatch EoJ and Maelstrom and S4/4.5 yet. And, yes, philosophically I get it. Rachelindeed and others make good points. But seriously I still hate it. Kara, Lee, Katee, Jamie, and all of us deserved more. Tara's facebook synopsis of the epi where it says something like "10000 members just joined "I hope you burn and die in a fiery pit, RDM" about summed it up for me. Sorry, I can't be pleasant about it yet. I try not to talk about it b/c I don't want to be a downer, but yeah, the finale was lazy writing...and that's putting it nicely. Frak you, RDM.

I do appreciate that all the angst did eventually lure me out of lurkerville and sharing in the K/L shipper love has been, and continues to be, an amazing experience.

Dumb-founded and naive are good words for us, aren't they? I remember thinking it's only 5 minutes left, mom and dad have left now finally they'll be able to start fresh, then Lee was talking about exploring and then poof.

I agree it still hurts to talk about it. Just total fail on RDM's part.

Do you have the link to Tara's facebook page? I don't remember checking that out.

Aww, I prefer optimistic and romantic. But yes, at that moment, I definitely felt like I'd been slapped for being naive enough to think there would be K/L resolution of some sort.

YES, I had the same thought at 5 minutes left. :( :(

And, my bad...Tara did spoofs of some of the S1 episodes. The Daybreak one was actually nicole_anell's work of genius...
