Hello, shipper nation! How awesome was

amaliak's screencap in the previous post?

For the rest of this week, in addition to the discussion part of the post, I'm going to be holding a mini-drabbling session in the comments. I say drabbling because I'm a writer, but all forms of creativity are encouraged! Feel free to produce anything you like in response to the prompt - an icon, graphic, drawble, poem, ficlet...anything goes.

Today's prompt is...

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~Kahlil Gibran

Have at it, and please post your response in the comments!

Onto part two: today, I'm interested in your pet AU theories. What things about Kara and Lee do you like to believe which you know aren't supported by the source? Do you repudiate the poof? Do you have issues with things in their past? Do you have a preferred version of how they met? Tell your fellow shippers!

My pet AU theory is something I mentioned in one of

rachelindeed's posts a couple of weeks ago, and is that Kara's father was Daniel, the lost Cylon. I honestly believed this was coming for ages in the show, and was nonplussed when nothing was said by the end. Apparently Ron Moore has said it's not true in a podcast? Anyway, it makes loads of sense to me - much more so than the angel stuff we got in the show. It would explain her odd visions, the mandala, why her mother was so convinced she had some kind of destiny. It would also explain her extraordinary resilience (although obviously this was to a large extent fostered by Socrata). And finally, it gives us hope post-finale - if she can leave (die) once and come back, she can leave (poof) again with room for a return. So take that, Ron Moore. :P
