HELLO SHIPPER NATION!
I'm Erin (
coffeesuperhero here on the LiveJournals) and I'll be driving the DPP bus for the week! Wheee!
SO! Let's get this party started!
I confess that my fannishness most often expresses itself in cracktastic form. In keeping with that, today's party is a celebration of one of the more wonderfully cracky things found on the internet: MACROS. Bring me your cracky, your silly, your hilarious Piloty macros yearning to be posted so that we can all laugh until we ache. Please feel free to reference lines or ideas from the show, from other shows, from movies, from LOLcats, from that Tumblr where a velociraptor stalks Michael Buble, whatever you'd like! Heck, splice in Kanye West and make a series of GREATEST PILOTS OF ALL TIME (OF ALL TIME!!!) macros. :D :D :D
To get the ball rolling, I offer you the following (image heavy!) set of macros. (NB: I borrowed the format of this here thing from that Old Spice commercial.)

And, just in case macros aren't your cup of fannish tea (and because I hear that everyone loves these), a poll! Or, at least, a discussion preceding a poll. :D Last week, our lovely
rayruz had us voting on the best Pilots scene ever, and that made me curious. What's your favorite scene ever? Would it be too hard to choose? I THINK IT MIGHT BE. :O :O :O So today, in the comments, nominate your favorite scenes in this list of categories: Favorite Kiss, Favorite UST Scene, Favorite Fight, Favorite "I've got your back" Scene, Favorite Overall Pilots Moment. Feel free to illustrate your choices with gifs, screencaps, macros, icons, et cetera. Tomorrow I'll compile the nominees and we'll vote!
Have fun!

From:MY FAVORITE SCENE NOMINEES ARE...
Date: 2010-05-31 05:07 pm (UTC)Favorite UST Scene: "Smack you in the mouth," from 33. GUH.
Favorite Fight: The fight post-near-table-frakking in Scar. (http://www.frak-that.com/215/images/215_cap571.jpg) So deliciously angsty.
Favorite "I've got your back" Scene: Hmm. When they take back Galactica in The Oath and Blood on the Scales. Love that. Kara finally gets to kick some ass again, Lee pulls that stunt with the grenade (and Lee + guns + button-up shirt = GUH, really, OMG), and we get to see how well they work together. They're BAMF's, man. Plus, you know, there's that kiss. BONUS.
Favorite Overall Pilots Moment: "Everyone's got a skill," from the mini.
I just. This scene. You guys. I love the miniseries (sometimes more than I love the rest of the show), so my bias is showing, but this one has to be one of my favorite moments of all time (OF ALL TIME), so this is my nominee. THEIR LITTLE FACES. LOOK AT THEM. OMG. She's all, "OMG IT'S YOU AND YOU'RE NOT DEAD AND I LOVE YOU AND STUFF," and he's all, "HEY GIRL HEEEEY, YOU TOTALLY LIVED AND STUFF AND I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU," and I CANNOT WATCH THIS SCENE without devolving into a complete ball of fangirl mush, so if I've got a favorite scene... this one wins. I was already hooked on this ship from the brig scene, but this... this made it REAL. So.
Can't wait to see what everyone else picks! :D

Favourite Kiss:
Favourite UST Scene: Tie between "Smack you in the mouth"
and "Now who's biting off more than they can chew, Captain? Not me from where I'm standing, Major."
Boo I don't have gifs of those scenes. :(
Favourite Fight: I'll have to agree with Erin, the fight post-near-table-frakking in Scar.
Favorite "I've got your back" Scene: Kara saves Lee in The Oath
Favorite Overall Pilots Moment: "You have a brain?"

Date: 2010-05-31 11:28 pm (UTC)Favorite UST scene--It's a hard choice between short of oxygen in the firing range flirting and naked poetry recitation. Though the ones mentioned up thread are great too!
Favorite Overall Pilots Moment--Damn this is hard but I think I have to go with the giving of aurora in the extended brig scene. Yeah. That's my fave.
(I agree with Erin's choices for all the rest!!)

Date: 2010-06-01 03:03 am (UTC)Favorite scenes...that's so haaard! But I'll give it a shot:
Favorite Kiss: The first time they kissed in the UB flashbacks--Lee's all predatory at first but then kisses her almost...reverently, I would say. And he looks a little unsure when he pulls back. But then Kara smiles (squee!) and they kiss again. <333333 (Why yes, I may have watched this scene a gazillion times. Your point?) The "Home" kiss is probably first runner up, followed by the Raptor outmaking just for the hotness.
Favorite UST Scene: This one is harder. They bring the UST pretty much all the time. Umm...er...I think I'd go with...no...either "slap you in the mouth" or pretty much all of UB.
Favorite Fight: The dance in UB.
Favorite "I've got your back" Scene: Their hug in "He That Believeth"
Favorite Overall Pilots Moment: Either the end of UBEX when they decide to call it a tie and hug it out before falling over or the "Six of One" brig scene. Once again, I can't chooooose!

Date: 2010-06-01 07:09 am (UTC)I would like to nominate Season 4.5 The Oath - Kara and Lee kicking ass - in particular probably three main moments.
Favourite Kiss: The kiss in the Oath - "Feels good to be alive"
Favourite "I've got your back" moment: When Kara comes to rescue Lee in the hanger deck
Favourite Overall Pilots Moment: Kara and Lee coming into the hallway, guns blazing, totally in sync and together! I love the camaraderie between the pair.
Other scenes:
- Favourite UST - Scar - the "So why don't we?" from Kara - I don't know if the almost sex scene counts as UST or not? But it is sexy as all hell and there is no actual sex, so ... I am happy to go with your judgement on that - but it is a really great scene!

Date: 2010-06-01 03:57 pm (UTC)I like your picks! And I think the scene in Scar totally counts.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-01 07:13 pm (UTC)Favorite UST Scene: the fight in UB
Favorite Fight: the punch in KLG
Favorite "I've got your back" Scene: Kara and Lee firing together during the mutiny
Favorite Overall Pilots Moment: the "It was nice to meet you Lee Adama - Likewise Kara Thrace" remembered by both of them on that field on earth after everything happened: it's the end and the beginning of of the most epic love story ever: the circle is closed... and my hearth is broken
