I think it's really more that Doral is trying to sow dissension amidst the surviving humans
Oh, yes, girl, you have a point… I completely forgot that Doral was probably following Cavil’s master plan (whatever it was… lol!)
I think my perception of the show and pilots has changed merely in the sense that I still can't stop feeling sad and disappointed
You know, I’m glad that despite everything I still enjoy pilots… But yes, I will never understand why they did what they did to them... Why they decided to ignore their relationship when K/L always was a pivotal part of the show. Why they decided to give them the most disappointing and anti-climatic ending ever. Pilots were epic. Their love was epic. And their ending should have been epic and meaningful –and that doesn’t imply a happy ending, btw. As for the table… You know, I have been re-reading a lot of pre-mini fic lately –I plan to post a fic rec next week or so—, and it is frustrating that every version I read deals with the Zak and the K/L attraction/guilt in a more satisfactory and believable way than that awful and OOC retcon.
Lee was something different from the ordinary run of scifi heroes
Something I love about Lee is that he is not portrayed as the classic hero at all. He is not the perfect son or the perfect husband, he is in a constant identity crisis, he struggles with personal problems that --even if they are realistic-- are unpleasant for the average audience (depression, suicidal tendencies, sleeping with prostitutes, cheating on his wife… lol!). And he is an idealist and a cynic, he is true to his principles and sticks to his beliefs, he questions everything but is also a good soldier and is willing to sacrifice the ones he loves for the greater good… As innibis said, Lee lives in the grey, and that is why he is so fascinating (just like Kara, they are so alike despite their surface-ish differences).
I'm hoping the like will carry over into the rest of the show during the rewatch :P
Heee!!!! I hope so! No Kara!hate, please! (she can be a pain in the ass –especially for poor Lee, I know—but is adorable at heart and loves him more than anything in the world ;)).
