Good morning! It's 4:45am here in beautiful British Columbia and I am AWAKE! (I really wish I knew why) Due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances, the scheduled DPP driver for this week will not be able to take up the mantle of pilot love, which means... you're stuck with me again!

For today, a question that seems simple on the surface, but is probably actually more complex than that: What is your favourite thing about pilots? Whether that's what drew you to the pairing or why you're still here after the series is over, what makes Kara and Lee so important?

For me, I fell into the pilot love pretty quickly and it's always been about the chemistry, the way that the characters fill each other's weak spots and cover each other's blind spots. Together, they're complete in a way that they aren't individually. And the sizzle when they lock eyes is palpable.

Also, pilotsbigbang is starting to go up so go have a look at some long stories about our favourite pilots!

This might seem like a cheat, but the thing that I love most about pilots is how they're everything to each other: lover, enemy, sibling, rival, friend, coworker, confidante (occasionally), partner, equal, opposites...soulmates. ♥

I don't think I've ever read/seen a relationship quite like it before where it just has so many different levels to explore and that's without even getting into the delicious backstory much.

I've seen them described as co-dependent and unhealthy, but....I kind of love that about them most! That kind of need, where your life is just so much less when that other person is not in it, is really hard to make truly convincing, and they've managed to do it so well with these two, whether that's down to the writing or the acting or the directiong or some phenomenal combination of all of the above.
