Well, Trevor slept last night, which means I slept last night, so things are better. I could have done without Trevor getting up so early, but as it is, I won't complain. I think I'm going to take him to the doctor today though, just to get his ears checked out. His nose is really running again, and two nights up like that... I think last night

Which is funny, because I have always threatened to rewrite TWK so it doesn't suck quite so much. I think using Gaeta would be a great idea (can you at least throw Helo in there? Tahmoh was so touched at getting his own episode, even if it WAS dreadful...) and really interesting.

The Woman King had so much potential. ::Sigh::

I could try to squeeze Helo in there. The Helo-Gaeta friendship was really interesting, and I wish we'd seen a bit more of it. (Also? You know what would be REALLY interesting? A Helo-Hoshi conversation, where Hoshi tells Helo some of the stuff about the Pegasus. Or something where Hoshi and Athena have some run-ins, because I can see someone Pegasus generated having issues with Athena, after Gina, and I can see Athena having issues with Hoshi, because of Gina. Add in the Gaeta-Helo friendship, and Gaeta-Athena, and Helo wanting to accept Hoshi because for once his friend has actually chosen someone GOOD for him, for a change, and Hoshi's one of the few people treating Gaeta decently.... Oh, geeze. I might have to write this one now. Thanks. :) )

I have NO objections to them using Helo... just I think they didn't do him justice. (The only thing that saves that episode is Tahmoh takes off his shirt. That's always a good thing.)

I'll link when it's posted! It's not overly analytical, to be honest- it's more a quick "Oh, shit, I need an idea" sort of thing- but it was fun to right

Yay, remix! I'm so excited!!

Come to think of it, it is really odd that they chose Helo, one of the few main characters who had absolutely nothing to do with New Caprica, for a story about something bad that humans did to each other on New Caprica. I think there are a lot of other stories that would've been better for a Helo-centric episode, and I think there are a lot of other characters who would've fit TWK better, Gaeta of course being high on that list. I hope you do this someday, because it does sound interesting. Though of course, I hope you get to all of those bunnies soon. ;)

And Chapter 4 is hard, for reasons that will be obvious soon enough.

Oh boy, I should go get more kleenex now, huh? I am going to keep my mouth shut, but I have a feeling I might have a guess as to what this is...yep, more kleenex...

[lls_mutant]

I'm pretty sure you're right as to what it is, even though I don't know what your guess is. But I think you might know the original prompt, and if you know that and why TWK is heavy on my mind right now... yeah. Get the kleenex :)

The Helo-Hoshi one is nibbling really, really hard right now. But I'm getting time off- so WHOOHOO! I'm so gone :)

Glad you finally got some sleep

Yeah, Helo the outsider... well, it worked, but not in this context. I would have liked to see more about Helo trying to balance Athena vs. the Fleet. If I can do that bunny with Helo and Hoshi, it will really bring out what I think is interesting about him. I love the idea that Hoshi is angry and doesn't want anything to do with Athena- we never see him actually voice an opinion on the Cylons, so he really could go any way you want- and then Helo is kind of stuck in a hard place because he loves Athena and he cares deeply about Gaeta, and this is the first time in a long time Gaeta's been happy and with someone that is good for him. But the whole human vs. human thing... that would have been a better plot for Gaeta. Or hell, for DEE. (Although I liked the use of Dee there, too, since we knew she was one of the few Sagittarons in the Fleet, and the fact that Robert COULD treat her with compassion because she was "one of the good ones". It added an extra layer to Dr. Robert that I found fascinating.)

Yay, Hoshi backstory!!

Also, I think The Woman King would be AWESOME with Felix. He'd keep having New Caprica flashbacks! He cares so much about these people already!

(Although I didn't really mind it with Helo--he is sort of one of the most self-righteous. And yet, not wrong (see also re: genocide).)

(they really did drop the ball on integrating the Pegasus folks into Galactica. After they spent a good chunk of time showing us how different the two groups were!)

Holy crap, I still haven't read most of last year's remixes. (they're near the top of the "fic to read" pile, it's just....why do I have to work all the tiiime?) Must get on that.
