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.

Well, I guess I have found my first unpopular opinion. I loved Lee Adama from the very beginning. Yes, I have said it. I loved him even when he was absolutely obnoxious to the Chief in this very first scene aboard Galactica. I guess I chose to see that behavior as more of a façade than a true character trait. His line to the Chief regarding his father's retirement (something like "I'm sure someone will miss him") was enough to show me he must have had his reasons for behaving like that.Yes, as ninjamonkey73 has said, I have a kink for daddy issues. Of course I know that is not an excuse for lashing out at other people, but it was evident he had a lot of BOTTLED UP anger and resentment towards his father and when people are angry they often act stupid. And if he had continued to behave like that, I would have changed my mind about him. Also, and here comes another unpopular opinion, I think people tend to cut Kara much more of a slack for her obnoxious behavior.

There's this weird respect (and I have it, too) for how unapologetically obnoxious she was. Lee seemed to have regrets sometimes, so we hold him to a higher bar, I think.
