Pilot-centric thoughts post-4.02
I've been working on my post about my holiday but it's loooong and in the meantime my thoughts keep flying back to BSG. Not helped by the fact that wisteria_ has posed some terrific burning questions about the first two eps. I couldn't really answer any of them but I do have more to say on the subject of pilots.

So true and it's such a relief. It's as if they (and by extension us) can breath a bit easier
*nods* It feels as if their inner jangly-ness and jitteriness has evaporated. None of the surface issues are really resolved, but undeerneath there's a stillness.
the part where I thought it was glaringly obvious (because we did see under-tones of it before this) is how genuinely happy she seems for Lee
Mm, yeah the fact that she was able to be that points to a real emotional shift in her. It's incredible that she can feel that way at such a tough time as this so it suggests that what she's gone through is helping her see things in a bigger perspective and with an emotional distance that is rare.
I mean she called him. The last time she did that was after their fight in 'KLG1' and at that time he walked away and then we all know how that turned out. I thought it was huge of her to call to him and leave herself open like that.
Oh, nice reference. I hadn't drawn that parallel myself, but you're right. Because Lee didn't read it the right way then, there's a history of it not working out when she calls out to him. I agree it was incredible to see her do so here--I'm so used to Kara not doing so--and definitely made me all mushy too. Thank you, Kara!
People see this as an ending? Really? I find that surprising. Because I view it as a beginning.
Thank you! Yes, me too. Fandom is odd sometimes.
The ending/closure scene in that episode was the one between Lee and Dee. THAT was closure, THAT was an ending. Now if Lee would just stop wearing his wedding ring
It's odd to me that he IS still wearing it. I don't know what to make of that, because their scene was very much closure. Perhaps the papers haven't been signed yet? Or perhaps he just didn't want to upset Dee by taking it off before he physically left Galactica. Or it was just sloppiness. ;) Not sure.
Because frankly, we deserve to glow over this for a little while longer.
Yay! I'm glad you're revelling in the glow with me. :D

Honestly, I think it's sloppiness. I think Jamie and everyone got so used to him wearing it that no one's really noticed he still is. And if anyone has after the fact they can chalk it up to Lee waiting till the divorce is all signed and sealed or whatever. But I'll be annoyed if he doesn't lose it soon.
