Greetings and salutations, 'shipper nation! This is Amy, known on your internets as ninjamonkey73, and I'm driving the DPP bus this week. Sit back and enjoy the ride...





What's on your mind, 'shipper nation? Have a gripe about an episode? Are you such a Lee fangirl you want to shout his praises from the nearest mountaintop? Want to try your hand at a comment!fic and need a prompt (go ahead and ask, we'll enable)? Have a neat picspam you want to stare at for a few minutes? Or that gif. You know the one I'm talking about. From EoJ. Yeah, that one. Mmmm...

The world's your proverbial oyster, people! Chat it up!

Re: How much did Dee know about NuCapFrak?

Okay, this comment made me laugh so hard! Unless you're a turnip, a clueless Papadama or a deranged lunatic like Baltar, you'd have at least a clue. Awesome!

To answer your question about whether or not Dee KNEW about the New Caprica tryst, I'm actually kind of torn. One part of me thinks that EVERYONE knew. First, it's a tent city for goodness sake. Sound carries really far at night, and although Lee and Kara were pretending they were in her cabin, they weren't... I think that the "yell it to the stars" idea is cute, but would carry consequences. (I have this fic niggling at the back of my brain where Gaeta is the first one to make it to the raptor, and has a little heart-to-heart with Dee before Lee gets there.) Secondly, if Tigh knew (as that extended scene shows), then Ellen knew, and if Ellen knew... well, everyone knew by the next day at latest... in time to stop the shotgun wedding.

My other opinion is that Dee never realized it went that far. This is based on how Dee seems able to keep her blinders in place at all times (well, until Earth 1.0 that is), basically living her life in a dream-state and not seeing that humanity is disintegrating around her. I was honestly pretty disappointed by the flat approach to developing her character in the show. By the end she was just a "stand by your man" kind of gal and it rubbed me the wrong way. No, I'm not a fan. There could have been so much more to her, but there wasn't.
