Wow, I missed round 3, but it ended up the way I would have voted for the most part. Now I am having major angst about this round for the reasons Jen and Cosette already mentioned.

Smack You in the Mouth is when I fell hopelessly in love with pilots. I already loved them, especially Kara, since my first bsg episodes were watched out of order, but this scene sealed my fate. It's why I'm here with all of you instead of having enjoyed the K/L dynamic and then moved on to other things. That look they got from Chief sums up how priceless it was. No Takebacks is classic though and the first time they fully admit, out loud, to one another that they love each other.

I also think it's interesting...scifishipper and I may cancel each other out on the second one, for the exact opposite reasons. The Match is my all-time favorite pilots scene, but the Brig scene is our pilots as adults...and we needed that resolution.

Okay, I chose No Takebacks and the Match. Both were hard, hard choices. I think the Brig scene lost simply because I still have so much frustration with S4 in general that I often think of my canon pilots thru UBEX and then go more for fandom pilots after that. I don't know though, I still feel torn and like I *should* be voting Brig. It just wasn't enough for me. That one scene doesn't make up for all the S4 crap when it comes to K/L. I love our pilots as adults and in love...I just choose to think maybe that started at the "I Miss You"s and ignore EoJ and TAB and all that. Ugh, I love you, Brig, I just can't vote for you...today. I expect finals will be No Takebacks vs. Brig though, and likely Brig will win me over for that one. I am so torn, indecisive, and thinking with rose-colored glasses tonight. This one is SO hard. I could write essays on how gorgeous each of these four scenes are, which, I think, is a testament to how well we have chosen the best from each season.
