no_takebacksSo just for kicks, I played around with a random question generator today and came up with the following silly questions related pilots. Feel free to answer any or all of these (and if it's a question about Lee and you'd rather answer it about Kara, or vice versa, that's cool too!). And, at the end, there’s a more serious bonus question for you all! Thanks for sticking it out with me at the DPP this week!
- Lee and Kara are forced to roleplay out a verbal couple fight. Who gets to play the wife?
- Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with?
- Name something you have in common with Starbuck
- Describe Lee in a single word.
- What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in?
- Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation?
- What if you found out Kara and Lee were secretly aliens cylons plotting to take over the world?
- If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be?
- What musical instrument would Kara likely play?
- Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why?
- What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
- You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it?
- Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
- Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go?
- How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo?
- Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.)
- Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
- In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win?
- What song could be Kara’s theme song?
- Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
Bonus Question: How has loving pilots changed your life? From the small (you joined fandom) to the medium (you cut your hair to look like Starbuck's) to the major (you joined the military!) , what changes has your love for these characters brought to your life?

Date: 2010-05-23 06:21 am (UTC)2. Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with? I was going to ask why we were in handcuffs, but I'm not sure it matters. I still don't want to choose.
3. Name something you have in common with Starbuck Hair color (under the henna). Right down to the highlights. No one believed mine were natural when I was in my teens, either. **pout**
4. Describe Lee in a single word. principled
5. What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in? I wrote cross-dressing fic. I can see Lee in just about anything. Maybe he'd draw the line at lacey and bows...
6. Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation? No.
7. What if you found out Kara and Lee were secretly aliens cylons plotting to take over the world? I would be crushed.
8. If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be?
9. What musical instrument would Kara likely play? She's somewhere in the brass section. Probably trumpet. Maybe trombone.
10. Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why? Sidekick? Lee. Kara would be too likely to go off in her own direction.
11. What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese? I bet he likes smelly cheese, like blue cheese and such...
12. You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it? Me? If it's out and open, yes. Is this wise? No.
13. Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
14. Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go? I see insanity. And a fair amount of arguing, ending with Lee rolling his eyes and saying "fine." 'Cause it's an amusement park and it doesn't really matter.
15. How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo? With sarcasm and bitingly honest insight to his flaws.
16. Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.) Yes.
17. Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be? Probably a procedural or a courtroom drama.
18. In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win? Either Lee or Kara, but I'd probably be so far behind I wouldn't see it.
19. What song could be Kara’s theme song? Strong Enough, by Sheryl Crow.
20. Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be? Lee would win a battle of wits or a boxing match. Kara would probably win a barroom brawl.
Bonus Question: How has loving pilots changed your life? From the small (you joined fandom) to the medium (you cut your hair to look like Starbuck's) to the major (you joined the military!) , what changes has your love for these characters brought to your life?
They brought me fandom, and all you lovelies. They also got me writing again. While Echoes isn't my best work, it's proved to me that I can stick with a story and see it through, and given me the courage to think that maybe I could give writing my very own story a serious shot.

2. Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with?
HAHA, oh. Lee.
3. Name something you have in common with Starbuck
I'm definitely not good with admitting my feelings.
4. Describe Lee in a single word.
(Ugh, this question is cruel. Let me tell you: I have this part in a crossover WIP I'm kinda working on, where Kara is basically describing everyone who's ever been important to her in one word each. And I was somewhat easily able to come up with one word for everybody, but got SO STUCK on Lee, especially in terms of how she would describe him. Eventually settled on:) Powerful. It's kind of a weird choice, but I just see him as a person of limitless potential when he's at his best.
5. What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in?
A dress.
6. Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation?
Oh, yeah. You know she's the type who only gets you a present if it's gonna be really good.

8. If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be?
Jamie Bamber X )
9. What musical instrument would Kara likely play?
Besides the obvious piano, I think it would be AWESOME if she played harmonica.
10. Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why?
Kara. Nothing wrong with a sidekick who kicks as much ass as you but is willing to follow orders if she respects you enough.
11. What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
The less yellow the better.
12. You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it?
I think it would be more doodles than words, and I'd definitely peek.
13. Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
AN IRISH WOLFHOUND.
14. Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go?
I can tell by the look on Kara's face this is going to be strictly her own terrifying idea of fun.
15. How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo?
Easily.
16. Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.)
EW. WHAT KIND OF A PERVERT ARE YOU.
17. Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
Something like Southland or Mad Men. And, don't laugh, but he has like a thing for Pixar, okay?
18. In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win?
Kara
19. What song could be Kara’s theme song?
"Drive Blind" by Ride.
20. Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
Depends on who you ask. The kind of duel that requires a bed and no clothing.

Also, I love that you trust Kara to give good presents. Clearly my own paranoia is cheating me out of fun times :)
And I love the idea that Lee is addicted to Pixar. Who wouldn't be?

Well, it got me writing fic again.
I stopped dyeing my hair red and went back to blonde

And it got me a bunch of new LJ friends!

Date: 2010-05-23 01:58 pm (UTC)Is there any doubt that Kara wears the pants in that relationship?
2. Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with?
Harumph. I find this an unfair question. I mean... okay do sexy times result or are we in mortal danger?

So no matter the sitch, Starbuck. Sorry Apollo.

JUSTICE.

Manthong.

AWESOME. (I like the cylons)

Dude, they're no one's sidekicks.
11. What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
Om nom nom.

Only if she'll never find out. Because I forsee a long stay in sick bay if she does.

A cat. Romo thinks it's his cat returned. Lee the Cat must then elude a crazy Romo.

Date: 2010-05-23 02:42 pm (UTC)- Lee and Kara are forced to roleplay out a verbal couple fight. Who gets to play the wife? (Since I don't think "the wife" should in any way imply the weaker party, I say Kara can take that part and OWN it. I think we all know who's going to be winning this fake couple's fight, anyway.)
- Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with? (Lee. I expect he'd be a gentleman about it).
- Name something you have in common with Starbuck (Faith)
- Describe Lee in a single word. (Leader).
- What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in? (That v-neck blue sweater in the rec room scene of Six of One. Honestly, what happened there??? Shame on you, costume person).
- Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation? (Definitely not. I have known her for more than five minutes, and I'm not crazy).
- What if you found out Kara and Lee were secretly aliens cylons plotting to take over the world? (I'd be glad they were in it together.)
- If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be? (Midshipman Archie Kennedy).
- What musical instrument would Kara likely play? (Piano, though I'd love to see her on trumpet).
- Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why? (Well, neither are too big on sidekick-ing. Lee would be a more useful sidekick because he is more diplomatic. Kara would be a better comic sidekick, and she would go rogue after about five seconds).
- What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese? (Happy to consign its ashes to the Cylon armageddon ~ one of the few beneficial extinctions resulting from the war).
- You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it? (Anything she wrote in there is a lie. Seriously. It probably wasn't even her writing ~ this whole thing sounds like Helo hijinks.)
- Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it? (a cuddly teddy bear. He'd hate it, Kara would love it. It would be like the Muppet episode of "Angel." And he would still have to run CAG briefings in his cute furry form.)
- Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go? (I will never be able to get them off the rollercoasters.)
- How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo? (How wouldn't she?)
- Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.) Do I need to dignify this question with a response? :)
- Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be? (I bet Lee would love old classic black and white films, maybe some David Lean epics; he'd appreciate intricate scripts and old-school movie stars).
- In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win? (In planes, Kara. On foot, Lee. In no possible scenario would I ever win.)
- What song could be Kara’s theme song? (The theme to Mission Impossible! I love it!)
- Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be? (They should totally have a lightsaber duel, and obviously they would tie because the Force would lead them to recognize their fundamental affinity for each other).
Bonus Question: How has loving pilots changed your life? From the small (you joined fandom) to the medium (you cut your hair to look like Starbuck's) to the major (you joined the military!) , what changes has your love for these characters brought to your life?
Pilots have changed my life in small but good ways. I've gotten active in this LJ community, which I've never done for any other fandom before, and it's been marvellous getting to know other fans and sharing their thoughts. Also, my husband shared the show with me, so it has been great fun analyzing it with him and chatting about pilots together :)
Thanks so much, Taragel, for a really wonderful DPP week! It's been great!

Date: 2010-05-23 02:59 pm (UTC)Kara would play the wife - so she could tease Lee and make fun of the whole roleplay situation. I bet it would be hilarious.
2Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with?
Lee.
3Name something you have in common with Starbuck I'm very private when it comes to my feelings.
4 Describe Lee in a single word. Principled
6 Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation? No. I'd try to gauge her mood first.

8 If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be? Jamie Bamber.
9 What musical instrument would Kara likely play? I could see Starbuck playing the drums when she really needed to relieve stress and hit something.
10 Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why? I guess both of them ... as long as the superhero was the other, of course. Otherwise, none of them.
11 What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese? He likes it, especially with a little wine and the right company...
12 You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it? Only if I'm absolutely sure I won't get caught. I value my life and I know who would win a fist fight with Kara and it definetely wouldn't be me.
13 Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
14 Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go? I wouldn't be able to keep up with them. :( Kara would make fun of me. But Lee would play the hero and rescue me. After all, I'm a civilian and it is his duty. And we know how he feels about duty.
15 How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo? She would throw his weakest moments at his face. What moment she would choose would depend on whether the fight was personal or professional. She would probably feel terrible afterwards.
16 Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.) Yes, yes, yes.
17 Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be? Law and Order, or maybe Star Wars.

19 What song could be Kara’s theme song?

At the end of a night of bar hopping? Starbuck

Her love of snark and tattoos.
4. Describe Lee in a single word.
Ambitious
5. What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in?
A dress
6. Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation?
Sure, it would probably be something really fun or something to embarrass me...either way, good times.
7. What if you found out Kara and Lee were secretly aliens cylons plotting to take over the world?
I would find out if they were looking for an assistant. If you can't beat them, join them!
8. If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be?
Jamie Bamber! *G*
9. What musical instrument would Kara likely play?
Cop out BUT...The piano. I love how it's a graceful compliment to her sometimes brash exterior. I loved the musical connection between her and her dad.
10. Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why?
That's tough. Kara is totally Wonder Woman and Lee is totally Capt. Democracy. Neither would play sidekick to anyone and together they're equally badass. I guess neither.
11. What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
I think he enjoys it occasionally with his
whinewine.12. You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it?
Oh hell no, I'm not going to suffer the wrath of Starbuck.
13. Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
Pigeon!Does a Lion count if he's been eaten by one during a mountain exploration trip?14. Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go?
Kara and I will ride all the super scary roller coasters while Lee holds our stuff. Once we get off the ride he tells us we are "beyond insane" and then we convince him to join us on the second run.
15. How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo?
Sarcastically and playfully.
16. Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.)
YES! I also request it's done in good lighting for once.
17. Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
Cop out again....Law and Order, he would relate well with both sides I think. JUSTICE FOR ALL!
18. In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win?
Lee. Kara and I would be losing on purpose just so we can watch his hot body from behind.
19. What song could be Kara’s theme song?
Bitch - Meredith Brooks (first song that came to mind but there are a TON out there)
20. Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
It would be a tie, both of them would fight hard and not pull any punches. It would be brutal but in the end they would smile and hug and you would know they were ok. In other words, the UB boxing match. Don't care if that's too easy, it was the perfect end to a fight for them. <3
Bonus Question: How has loving pilots changed your life? From the small (you joined fandom) to the medium (you cut your hair to look like Starbuck's) to the major (you joined the military!) , what changes has your love for these characters brought to your life?
Loving pilots brought me a giant group of new friends both IRL and online. I loved them so much I had to find people to discuss them with and in turn it opened me up to new experiences such as fandom and cons. They have also changed how I view every other romance I enjoy on TV, Movies or Books....I'm always trying to see which character I relate to Starbuck or Apollo. I never want to let them go!

Aside from the piano? I really think Kara should be like, a sekrit master lute player or something. I don't know why. But it would be awesome:
Felix: "Sir, the Cylons say they'll surrender, but only if someone over here can beat Leoben in a lute-off."
Bill: "A what?"
Felix: "They described it as, 'a lute-off,' sir."
Saul: "What do they want us to play?"
Felix: "Something called 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia,' sir."
Saul: "That's not written for the lute!"
Felix: "No sir. I believe it's a fiddle tune."
Saul: "We're gonna have to surrender. No way in hell anyone over here plays the lute."
Lee: "I wish it had been drums. At least we could have gone out with a bang."
Bill: "No one wants puns at the end of the worlds, son."
Lee: "Sorry, sir."
Kara: "Excuse me, sir?"
Bill: "Yes, Lt. Thrace?"
Kara: "I...I play the lute, sir."
No one knows that I like cracky stories. It's a secret. *_*
Re: 2/2, because the one word to describe me is "prolix"
Date: 2010-05-23 04:00 pm (UTC)I think they'd both suck at being sidekicks unless they were working together, really, with few exceptions. I could see Kara being Cain's sidekick. I could see Lee being Laura's sidekick. But that's about it. What would their powers be, now that's the real question.
# What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
This made LOL! Lee loves cheese, obv. He makes delicious gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and he knows just the right wine & beer to go with it.
# You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it?
This is my exact thought process:
Do I value my life? On the other hand... who knew Starbuck kept a diary? Is she flying CAP? Can I get away with it? Because if I can get away with it, NGL, I'm very tempted. Maybe I can just drop some boots outside the hatch to keep people away for a bit. Then again, if Kara is my friend... maybe it's best to just go on about my business. I mean, she's my friend. And I really don't want to get punched in the face. I like my nose unbroken. Yes. Decision made! No peeking. Dammit.
# Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
A Bernese Mountain Dog.
# Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go?
We're going to go on all of the roller-coasters, and then Kara and I are going to go again, because once isn't enough. I will also introduce them to an Earth speciality: funnel cake. Later, when I can't stand any more bickering and significant glances, I'll just shove them into the Tunnel of Love and tell them to get on with it, already.
# How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo?
Probably something about Zak. That would cut pretty deep.
# Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.)
YES.
# Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
I think Lee would really enjoy The West Wing.
# In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win?
How are we racing? Because I would give Kara a run for her money in a fast car. On foot? I don't have a chance. Lee's got all that muscle (GUH), so I don't know how fast he would be. Over a short distance, Kara could definitely take him. In a marathon, she'd have to remember to pace herself-- Lee might be better at "slow and steady wins the race." But I think Kara would probably still win.
# What song could be Kara’s theme song?
This is tough. Since I started watching BSG, I have discovered that pretty much all songs are about Kara Thrace, because she is the center of the universe. "Every Little Thing She Does"? About Kara Thrace. Für Elise? Should have been called Für Kara. I digress. Anyway, if I had to pick, I'd go with Bree Sharp's "Faster, Faster." It's got a cowboy vibe that I think she'd dig, and for me, at least, it just works for her.
# Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
It'd be a draw.

Date: 2010-05-23 07:55 pm (UTC)Is this supposed to be a play on gender stereotypes? If so, yikes!
# Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with?
I'm going with Lee, though not for sex-ay reasons. While they'd both be resourceful and find good ways of getting us out of there, Kara's nonstop complaining would probably get on my nerves.
# Name something you have in common with Starbuck
We have many of the same physical and verbal mannerisms. We also share some of the same emotional issues (though I won't go into that here!)
# What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in?
Shorts and black sneakers. Oh, wait....
# Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation?
Depends on the occasion and the expression on her face.
# Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why?
If I were the superhero, I'd go with Lee. He would think of everything I forget, and he'd clean up my messes.
# What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
As long as it's not made with algae, he's good.
# Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
He'd claim it would be something like The Wire, but he'd secretly watch all those awful reality shows on E! then, when discovered, claim he was doing it for anthropological research.
# Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
I'm resisting the urge to make a "Hide the Salami" joke.

Then...well you know...R. Dante Moore's 9th circle of Hell.

Three more chapters waiting for editing, so now I can PLAY!!!!!
Date: 2010-05-24 01:12 am (UTC)2.I personally would rather get stuck with Lee, but that’s only because if it involved handcuffs, then something might start happening...
3.My husband tells me I have a very Starbuck-sounding laugh. It carries... LOUDLY. I personally think I have a single-minded perseverance that is somewhat similar to her too.
4.Lee is loyal.
5.Lee wouldn’t be caught dead in leisurewear.
6.I’d love to receive a mystery gift from Kara, but I’d probably open it in secret, since there’s no knowing what it’d be.
7.If I found out Kara and Lee were secretly aliens cylons plotting to take over the world, then a whole bunch of my issues with BSG are moot. Kara’s not gone; there’s a chance for some kind of resolution to ALL those things that bugged me. I guess I’d be the first volunteer for the welcoming committee.
8.I believe Apollo, on our current earth, would constantly be mistaken for Jamie Bamber. Except Apollo, of course, with his viper pilot cred and post-apocalyptic angstyness is WAY hotter.
9.I’m reasonably sure that Kara is like most people who have been forced to learn to play the piano as a child, and no longer plays it. On her own, she’d probably picked up the guitar.
10.Frankly I don’t think either Kara or Lee would make a good superhero sidekick because Kara would constantly be charging into the fight without waiting and Lee would be trying to read the manual for the utility belt at the WORST possible times.
11.Apollo’s opinion on cheese post- Lay Down Your Burdens is MORE! Post-Unfinished Business is 12 STEP PROGRAM.
12.If I wandered into the (bunk)room and found Starbuck’s personal diary I would totally read it. And then I’d go write some fanfic... or is that what I did?!? Mwa ha ha ha!
13.If Lee got turned into an animal he’d be a panther. This is a gut reaction; no idea why.
14.If Kara, Lee and I went on a super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon, Kara would insist on doing all the daredevil rides, Lee would want to spend all his time winning prizes at the games tables and I’d be taking photographs like crazy so I could post them. “OMG it’s Kara/Lee on the Zipper!”
15.I personally think Kara’s insults to Lee tend to be attacks on his attributes. “Daddy’s boy” comes to mind.
16.Hot Apollo on Starbuck action – ARE YOU FRAKKING KIDDING? This isn’t just a gimme... this is a question to find out whether you should be part of this community or note.
17.On modern Earth, Lee would be a big fan of epic HBO televisions series like Rome, Deadwood and... Battlestar Galactica.
18.In a race between you, Kara and Lee: I’d win for writing. Kara would win for running. Lee would win for president.
19.Kara’s theme song is Chemicals between Us by Bush.
20.In a duel with vipers, Kara wins, hands down.
Bonus Question:
The whole Battlestar Galactica experience brought me into fanfiction in general. I already wrote and published, (primarily magazine articles and the occasional other chapters for collected works), but fanfic is such a different experience altogether. I’ve been able to connect with cool people who share similar interests. I’ve had amazing writers send me notes of encouragement. And I’ve discovered LiveJournal, which I’d never even heard of before that. It has COMPLETELY distracted me from my grad studies... LOL... It’s awesome!
P.S. Thanks for the awesome week, taragel!

Date: 2010-05-24 02:40 am (UTC)I'm gonna go with Kara on this one.
Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with?
Kara. Hands down. For sexytimes or otherwise. I feel like she'd find some very creative way to either get us out of them, or continue to kick ass while in them.
Name something you have in common with Starbuck
So life's a bitch. What are you gonna do? Cry about it?
Describe Lee in a single word.
"Resourceful" is the first word that came to mind. I'm not sure exactly why, but since it was first, I'm goin' with it.
What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in?
A character costume of any kind -- holiday (Santa-eqsue), cartoon character, etc.
Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation?
Nope.
What if you found out Kara and Lee were secretly aliens cylons plotting to take over the world?
Sweeeeeet.
If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be?
Ummmm.... I really don't know.
What musical instrument would Kara likely play?
Piano. It's versatile and moody. And would be unexpected to most people.
Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why?
Kara would be one of those sidekicks that outshines the hero. Lee would be solid and dependable. So I guess I agree with whoever above said Lee would be the sidekick to Kara's hero.
What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
It better be favorable, or he and I can't be friends anymore.
You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it?
Depends. Do I value my life?
Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
Sea turtle.
Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go?
It will be legen -- wait for it-- dary.
How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo?
However she damn well pleased.
Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.)
Yes, please.
Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
I'm gonna be a follower and go with The West Wing. And The American President for a movie, cuz he'd be a big Sorkin fangirl.
In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win?
I would lose by a mile. Kara would trip Lee right before the finish line and sprint to a win. Then laugh at him and tell him to not be such a klutz. And to let it go, it's just a race.
What song could be Kara’s theme song?
Something by Pink, that is for sure.
Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
Depends. Is it a duel to the death? Cuz in that case, neither. They'd both forfeit.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-24 03:13 am (UTC)You know that Kara would be watching a game on the TV and drinking a beer on the couch and Lee would be nagging her about helping him do some housework.
Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with?
Kara. You know she knows how to get out of them. (Or could make it worth our while to stay in them.)
Name something you have in common with Starbuck.
I don't like to give up on things.
Describe Lee in a single word.
Righteous.
What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in???? The Gaius Baltar head shrine costume from D*C
Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation?
I'd make someone else open it, then snatch it back if it was something good.
What if you found out Kara and Lee were secretly aliens cylons plotting to take over the world?
Whoops forgot the strikethru on aliens. I'd happily be colonized.
If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be?
Uh, Eric Mabius? Hee.
What musical instrument would Kara likely play?
Band!Camp Kara would sullenly rock the frak out of the triangle.
Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why?
Lee holds Kara's guns beautifully.
What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
Have you seen fat!Lee? I think it's safe to say he's a fan.
You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it?
Hell yes, but I better be quick.
Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?I..uh..have some ideas on where Lee could be an animal. That is all. :)
Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go?
Can't remember the details but I bet someone pukes before the day is out!
How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo?
"You are the worst CAG in the history of CAGS." (But then she'd ask him to smack her in the mouth.)
Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No?
Only if we can watch
Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
It would be a reality show about the chef at the white house.
In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win?Lee would be too busy saying "Slow down Kara, it's not a race." I would make no such protests. Thus, I win.
What song could be Kara’s theme song?
Don't Let Me Get Me by Pink
Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
DUELLING TONGUES! WE ALL WIN!

We both love Lee
4. Describe Lee in a single word.
HOT!
5. What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in?
Any woman’s clothing
6. Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without hesitation?
Hell ya. She wouldn’t give a gift unless you were special to her.

As long as they are together trying to take over the world, I’m happy.
8. If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be?
Craig Horner
9. What musical instrument would Kara likely play?
Drums!
10. Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why?
Lee! Because as good as he is at leading, he is also good at listening which Kara has hard time with sometimes. It’s her way or the highway.
11. What’s Apollo’s opinion on cheese?
I have no idea! They didn’t have any cheese left after the ends of the worlds.
12. You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it?
Hell Ya, as long as you all agree to attend my funeral.
13. Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
A Pigeon??? I know that was mean.:D
14. Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go?
I have a feeling we would be banned from the park after a day of adventure and hell raising.
15. How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo?
Just as she always does, without hesitation!:)
16. Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.)
It this a rhetorical question? YES!!!
17. Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
How I Met Your Mother! Although he would probably love NCIS or Law & Order
18. In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win?
I wouldn’t get to far so it would be between Kara and Lee. So I must say Kara.
19. What song could be Kara’s theme song?
20. Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
There might you children reading this.:D
Bonus Question: How has loving pilots changed your life? From the small (you joined fandom) to the medium (you cut your hair to look like Starbuck's) to the major (you joined the military!) , what changes has your love for these characters brought to your life?
I have become more involved in fandom rather than being a lurker. I’m going to my first ever convention mostly to meet all of my peeps. I'll be buying dogtags with a callsign given to me by my flisters here. I hold all of my other ships to the standards of Lee and Kara.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-24 04:43 pm (UTC)Lee and Kara are forced to roleplay out a verbal couple fight. Who gets to play the wife?
We're talking roleplay here, so Kara. She would go completely cliche and talk about how all he does is drink and smoke and play cards with his friends. *g*
Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with?
If we're in the shit, Kara. If we're in the... rack... Lee.
Name something you have in common with Starbuck
I, too, secretly want the CAG to [fill in the blank] me. *G*
Describe Lee in a single word.
Magical
What outfit would Lee never be caught dead in?
Bondage gear, but who ever means to die in it? ;)
Would you open a mystery gift Kara just gave you without
hesitation?
Absolutely. It will be super meaningful if she bothered.
What if you found out Kara and Lee were secretly aliens cylons plotting to take over the world?
Yayz!
If Apollo were to be mistaken for a celebrity (in real life), who would it be?
Young Top Gun Tom Cruise. Mmm... Yeah, him.
What musical instrument would Kara likely play?
For all her artsy tendencies, I'm gonna go cello on this one- expressive and moving and just watching a really good cellist work the bow... *sigh*. It's a whole body instrument in the right hands.
Who would be a better superhero sidekick, Lee or Kara, and why?
Lee is the sidekick. Kara is more of a merc. OMG, she's Deadpool!
You wander into the (bunk)room and find Starbuck’s personal diary. Do you read it?
Yes. And then, if I get caught, I threaten to leak info from it if she touches me, so it's either kill me or leave me alone. I think she'd leave me alone, but if not, oops!
Lee got turned into an animal. What animal is it?
Tara already went to the animal!Lee place I was heading. I'd like an animal!Lee, please.
Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kara and Lee! How will it go?
We'd spend the day trying to one-up each other on the crazy rides. Back in the day, I could hold my own, but I suspect I'd be the first to hurl.
How would Kara Thrace insult Apollo?
When she does it in my head, it's aways a thinly veiled sexual insult, meant to push him to act on the UST they aren't fooling anyone about.
Hot Apollo on Starbuck action - Yes/No? (Figured I needed to toss you a gimme in here.)
Better lit this time!
Assuming he lived on Earth in modern times, what would Lee’s favorite TV show or movie be?
Lee's a closet nerd, so I'm going Big Bang Theory.
In a race between you, Kara and Lee, who would win?
I would. They would be so busy sabotaging each other, tripping each other up, that I'd tortoise it and win.
What song could be Kara’s theme song?
Today? Lacrymosa, by Evanescence
Out on your own
cold and alone again
can this be what you really wanted, baby?
(Lacrymosa)
Blame it on me
(Dies illa)
set your guilt free
(Lacrymosa)
nothing can hold you back now
Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again
grieving the things I can't repair and willing...
(lacrymosa)
To let you blame it on me
(Dies illa)
and set your guilt free
(Lacrymosa)
I don't want to hold you back now love
I can't change who I am
not this time, I won't lie to keep you near me
and in this short life,
there's no time to waste on giving up
my love wasn't enough
(Lacrymosa)
And you can blame it on me
(Dies illa)
just set your guilt free, honey
(Lacrymosa)
I don't want to hold you back now love
(Amen)
Tomorrow, maybe a different song.
Who would win in a duel? Lee or Kara? And what kind of duel would it be?
