existential question of the day

Hm.

So, does Kara actually call Lee "Captain Tightass" at any point in the show, or is it something fandom created?

I tried to search the scripts of the mini, but couldn't find it.

And yet, it sounds like such a Kara thing to say...

Anyone? Thoughts? Help?

Good question. I can practically see Kara and Cally standing in front of a viper, watching Lee's behind and Kara calling him Captain Tightass. But I have absolutely no idea if that's from a fic or an ep.

Hmm, the more I think about it, the more I believe the expression must come from a fic. But wherever it did originally come from, it's definitely something Kara would say.

It is, isn't it?

Kara did also call him Magnificent Bastard, at the end of Hand of God, didn't she?

Heh, poor Lee. So many nicknames...

I suspect this may be a fandom creation - I've been rewatching the earlier seasons recently, and haven't noticed her saying it. In the mini she calls him a dipstick and a superior asshole, though. :)

And Magnificent Bastard, no?

Yes, I've been trying to search the transcripts, but couldn't find anything...

Thanks!

As I am guilty of using it myself, I won't comment. It's the problem with having watched the mini and the first two seasons in French. I tend to assume that what I see in fic is the canon terminology. wisteria recently posted something about how there was no Life Station in the 2003 series (they call it sickbay), and I had no idea. (And I've been editing my old stuff like crazy in the last two days, for stuff like that. I'm sick, I need help).

Thanks, silja!!

And we shall not mention WW here, oh, no!
Ah, Sam, Sam, the Sunshine Man... :D

Same goes for 'Magnificent Bastard', 'Superior Asshole', 'Dipstick', and a few others.
Well, I can see Lee remembering "the good old times" and thinking about the times when Kara insulted him, but it's true that they're not big on nicknames on the show, and Kara doesn't go around calling Lee "superior asshole" all the time.

Hades, it's hard enough keeping all of Dee's names straight: Dee, Ana, Anastacia, Dualla. Oy.

Re-Lee and Bill, I just skimmed through the old fics, and I notice that in the first ones, "my" Lee tends to think about Bill as either the Commander or his father, regardless of circumstances, and now, in everything I write, he's just "his father," even if he adresses him as "Sir" or "Commander."

Wonder what that says... :)

Where does one find those??
