DPP: Vent at Joe's Bar

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

Hey, I know I said I was going to post a two day thing? Eh... I changed my mind! :D I'm not sure if we've done this one before but I figured I'm going to go for it anyways. Tomorrow's post is going to come a little bit late in the day and I might do the two-day challenge then, because it's a little involved and takes a bit more time.

Anyways, what are we venting at Joe's about? 

Unpopular Pilots (and other Fandom) Opinions.

I thought some of these might be coming up since we've been thinking so much about the scenes and the voting. Ever feel alone in what you think? Are you afraid to speak your mind sometimes because the other shippers don't agree with your opinion? Well pull up a barstool, get a drink, and spill it. Bartenders are, of course, the everyman's therapist.

For me, as bad as they had been to their spouses and everyone the rest of the show, I didn't want to see that they'd always been so selfish and tunnel-visioned about each other. I guess I wanted the end of the worlds to have ruined them, not for them to be that way all along.

(Confession re: my hating the flashback table!frak- Secretly, I wanted more than an almost kiss/table!frak in the flashbacks. Perhaps I'd have been better about the scene if it a) wasn't in the same room as Zak, and b) involved more sex. Can't leave it all to fanfiction if they are your OTP, right?)

Oh, I entirely understand why people don't like the flashbacks. I just don't feel the same way. I have kind of a complicated relationship with them though. Prior to Daybreak, I had never thought that Kara or Lee had cheated on Zak. I doubted that they had even kissed. But pre-mini fic was full of that, full of them having illicit affairs while she's supposed to be with his brother. Fandom had me inured to that, so when it happened I was just sort of like "well, okay." The only real difference I saw was that Zak was actually in the room in the flashbacks.

But anyway, helikedmyshoes said it better in a comment further down.

And I read the fanifc after, so I wasn't ready to find out they were THOSE people. I can see it now, certainly, and haven't rewatched the finale since, outside of disembodied scenes.
