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!

Re: Ten Million Points... but should some of them be dropped on the instant recall?

Yeah, the loyalty to sam is a new idea for me. I am not wholly convinced, but I have never quite felt completely sold on the idea that Kara ran JUST because she was afraid. Yes, mostly, but not completely. The thing that planted the loyalty to sam idea in my head was that I was trying to imagine Kara's state of mind before that night with Lee. As a shipper, I feel like I romanticize the encounter (and with good reason no less) that here they are finally - two people that have been in love without acting upon it. Finally!!

But - I was also struck by how unfortunate the timing actually was. From everything I can remember, Kara and Sam were in a relationship. I'm not saying they were engaged or anything, but they were in a relationship and seemed very close - calling each other Baby and Honey that very morning. The deleted scenes show them happily interacting with the Tighs and seeming all cozy together. Then she sleeps with Lee. It was dark, they were drunk, desperate, etc. I guess Kara holding some form of concern for Sam helps me understand why she would go back to him. Maybe it's crazy, I don't know. I guess that I come from the perspective that Kara did love Sam, just not the same way or with the soulmate intensity that she had for Lee. The loyalty to Sam is a small point for me, but I thought it was worth exploring.

Thanks for not killing me. Hee. LOL!
