bsg... again
SO I NEED TO TALK ABOUT BSG WITH. TO GET IT OUT MY BRAIN. Though I probably won't any time soon because I've been OTP'd twice over.
Now I've been shipping Kara/Lee since the beginning. It's there, it's clearly the intent of the text and I generally lean towards canon, at least, in the beginning. It didn't hurt that there is tension, friendship, and baggage there. Kara is so damn intertwined with the Adama family and was engaged to Lee's dead brother who she feels she killed. Issues doesn't even begin to cover what's between the two of them. It's my type of pairing.
But hm... I wasn't quite FEELING them as a ship for awhile. They sort of fizzled out in the middle of the series for me. That's not the right word, because I loved every scene they had together, but it wasn't like I was hoping for lots of development and for them to finally jump each other. It was mostly as a thing I saw as part of their characters more than a ship itself.
But then, at the end of Colonial Day, when Kara got all cleaned up and Lee looked at her... It was in the exact manner that one does to the person they're in love with. It was the first time that I felt it as pairing, instead of 'Lee's got something for Kara and Kara's got something for Lee'. So it was like I was mostly shipping them as part of their characters instead of as a unit until that moment.
And there is Boomer and Helo. OMG. I pretty much love it all. Boomer's character is fantastic and her feelings for Helo and his for her are really beautiful. I don't think they'll have a happy ending and I'm not sure if I really want them to. But I really really love this pairing.
I am watching the two part finale tomorrow! And I'm probably going to watch the rest of the series because I'm kind of in love with this show.
