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!

Ah okay. It's more important for me that canon got it right and I'm bitter that it didn't. Because no matter how much fic I read or write, the official record on pilots and their relationship will always be wrong and hurty. I hate that so much.

If I had a genie like in innibis's Aladdin spoof, one of my wishes might even be to fix it.

I actually mentioned to sci_fi_shipper the other day that one of the ways I coped with that ending was to write my extended ending fic in a format that started EXACTLY at the end of the series at *poof*, that forced every god-damned random and awful bit of canon into it (A.K.A. "double dog dare"), and STILL gave me the closure on the Lee / Kara storyline. It took... four months of notes, I think (?) before I even started writing the actual story. Seriously, my notebook looked like some kind of serial killer ranting. (Thank god my hubby is a sci fi nerd too because that's ALL we gtalked about for months.)

It's funny how awesome it was to complete it. I guess because nothing from the original changes I actually find it pretty easy to just say "and THAT'S the last post-finale episode that never aired". LOL. Yes, I have denial in spades. But frankly that fic was a bitch to write - because there were loose threads ALL over the place - and it still happened. So, Mr. Moore - if he is out there - could have wrapped it up in a much kinder way, if he'd wanted.

Okay, I'm just wasting time. 'Night!
