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.

I really enjoyed your commentary on Jamie Bamber and the way he was willing to play up the unlikeability aspect! To expand, (and explain), my "viper jock" comment is actually based on Lee's behaviour during the first scenes were he lands his viper on Galactica. Galen Tyrol is trying to talk to him, and Apollo pretty much just blows him off. 'Jock!' was my thought when watching it. Later, in the pilot ready room, Apollo has an irksome moment when asked to fly his father's viper. Its these two scenes that are my basis for the comment.

Does that mean anyone (besides me) needs to agree. NAAAH! But that tells you where I'm coming from.

You ROCK, by the way, Rachel! I always LOVE LOVE LOVE your thoughts and opinions. Seriously, I want to steal your brain next time I'm working on a fic. LOL

You don't need to steal anyone's brain writing fic, you are putting us all to shame! Bravo!!

Also, I can completely see how those two establishing scenes spelled "jock" to you, he really does come off as clearly thinking he's too good to be on this creaky old ship, and it was seriously NOT COOL of him to take out his annoyance on Tyrol and/or his fellow pilots. If you want to yell at Dad, Leland, then yell at Dad, don't deflect and make everyone else pay for your bad mood.

I think the end of the world was good for him. The boy needed to grow up fast.
