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.

Agreed.

Though, while the season aired, I did feel REALLY bad for her. But as soon UBEx came out, all the sympathy went right out the window.

Also, I want to say that Dee was really mean to Lee as well. She wanted to marry the son because she's in love w/ the father. It brings to mind a whole Oedipus thing, but it's still really messed up and I'm sorry no one gave her more grief about that.

I think that in general the writers didn't know wheat to do with her character and this is where it ended it. Sad, because she had so much potential at the beginning.

cheers.

I think latteaddict and I are starting a "I Hate Dee" support group. Feel free to join.

My issue with that scene is that a pilot is stranded out there -- possibly shot down -- and from a military standpoint it's entirely reasonable for a search-and-rescue mission. Okay, sure, they could've written Starbuck off, but that wouldn't happen (since she's a main character). Sam was willing to go after her, but Dee was a more logical choice since she was already out there in the field. I get why Dee was upset, but I dislike how the scene has been framed as the horrible Apollo ordering his wife to rescue his girlfriend.
