Oh, you are not late at all… The post is not going anywhere and we love to hear your thoughts! :D
Also Lee's pissyness...I'm a total Lee!girl and it shocked me to remember what a snippy jerk he was in the beginning. My fond memories of Lee apparently started kicking in during 33
I can guess you are a Lee girl ;). I agree with you about pissy!Lee… but even if the first impression we get from him is that he is a snot with daddy issues, I think he has great moments in the mini ("thank you Cap. Apollo for saving our collective asses”, “Lady’s in charge”…). The "Lady’s in charge" line was my first Lee squee moment (even if I must admit that I had my Lee!Epiphany in "Bastille Day")
And I still don't quite know exactly what Leoben was doing there in the first place. Was he there as part of some Cylon master plan to foil the Colonials getting ammunition?
That’s the most boring part of the mini, imo. And hey, Leoben being there doesn’t make sense at all. I guess everything was part of Cavil’s plan *LOLs*
There's too much love tied up in the twisted baggage for it to have been a simple almost-frak on the table
You know, I never thought that Kara and Lee’s connection can be reduced to lust and drunkenness and a near-frak on a table… I always believed that Kara and Lee’s relationship while Zak was alive was platonic. However, I have no problems to accept that there could have been something non-platonic between them pre-Zak’s death. The problem is that the DB flashback was SO awfully handled. I can get the idea of their connection from the first moment they met, their bad timing, them betraying Zak despite themselves… BUT the way it was handled made the whole thing seem rushed and shallow, portraying pilots as a pair of selfish bastards. I hated it. Because Lee and Kara never were like that.
But they are two halves of the same whole, destined to complete the other...it's clear from the beginning.
I believe that despite their differences, they have so much in common under the surface… And I believe that’s why they connect as they do. They tend to express their issues in a different way --Kara being (apparently) more spontaneous and unrestrained and Lee more repressed-- but on a deeper level I think they are so much alike. And besides the role-reversal, this show always proved us that they are equals in every way. That’s something I adore about their relationship.
Chief, oh Chief.?
Oh, Chief… You know, I’m so sorry for him… And Chief/Boomer is the saddest love story of this show, imo –they are even more tragic than K/L. And yes, they pronounced Gaeta differently!
