Wow, you guys are brilliant and the conversation this week has been awesome. It's been great hosting this week of DPP and I'm looking forward to my next turn in August.

To close out this DPP week, it's a Free-For-All! What do you want to say to K/L shippers? To the pilots themselves? To the world at large?

I would like to say thank you to this amazing community who welcomed me in and I hope we keep going strong. After all, there's a million and one things we haven't written yet!

Interesting. I never felt that people expected too much of him especifically. And I don't think it is a matter of lack of respect for him or that anybody was disappointed exactly. I think again it is about the fact that people didn't know him. So I think it makes sense for people to underestimate him. He was very young. He had just been promoted to captain. He would never have made CAG so soon if it weren't for the attacks. In fact, we were told the position became his by default since there simply wasn't anybody else with sufficient rank alive to do it. He didn't belong in that ship. And to top it all, he was the commander's son and he had an attitude. So, yes, it makes sense for people not to have great expectations and to have quite reservations about his qualifications to lead them in a time of war. That his own father felt the same way would hurt / bother him more. But then again, we established before he didn't know his son very well either. As for Kara, well...I'd imagine for the most part it was what you said: "pissed-off attitude and resentment that she was not the one doing the heroics for a change".

No need to drive into a frenzy over this. There are plenty of us to help defend Apollo's honor. Don't worry. ;D
