I have no Dee icon. I wanted one to comment, and I looked, and I don't have one. This is wrong... I need to find one.

ANYway.

Fic! Dee, being very Dee-ish. And Leoben, what a great surprise -- and he's toast. love her. and yeah, WTF is up with all his scenes getting cut out? I'm starting to think it's not for time or unimportance, that there's a reason -- midstream change of plan maybe?

[lyssie]

Yesss. I need to make some, I've just been lax.

I was kind of half-joking in my head, "what if the scenes cut were Dee and Leoben?" because, well, he obviously didn't get to Kara...

Huh, the change of plan might be possible. I hadn't thought of that.

Thank you =)

I am possibly ascribing deep thought to something which was just stupidity or accident -- but it occurred to me that as TPTB started to get a clue about Anders, both his popularity and the character's adaptability, that we've seen a lot less about Leoben. I guess what I'm wondering is whether Anders is going/has already taken over part of the arc that Leoben was planned to have. And so they're cutting Leoben.

I mean, looking at Occ/Precipice he seemed to have a definite plan with Kara going on. And yet, all these eps later, he's barely spoken three words, and nothing about her at all. I know he'll be in Maelstrom (sort of), but it seems odd that he seems to have been intended for some kind of subplot in EoJ/Rapture that was completely cut out. I'll have to watch again but even his bits on the baseship struck me as odd, like maybe some of the dialogue was replaced.

or, I could just be making it all up! But it's a theory.

[lyssie]

That... is an interesting theory. I have another one. You remember, back at the beginning of the season, Trucco was saying he was going to be in, like, five episodes at most? Heck, I've got an interview from sometime last year where he says he's only in three, because of scheduling conflicts....

Trucco has been in eight episodes out of twelve (counting next week).

I don't know how great the fan popularity has been for him, of course. But I'm beginning to wonder if he's going to end up a regular. Which, well, that was always one of BSG's problems, for new characters--it's essentially a bottle show. Everyone we have to play with already showed up. Except Sam.

Hrm.

[lizardbeth_j]

But dude, we already know he's signed as a regular for S.4 (assuming it goes, of course). He had just signed, THAT DAY, back in November when he came to the Burbank con. And he said at that time that they had found a story for him that was separate to him being Kara's love interest

[lyssie]

No, we know he's going to be a recurring character, a la Chief. What I'm wondering is if he's going to end up a main cast member. (and if so, will the fandom wank outside of flock so I can see it)

*nods* I think they were going to let Collabs be it, for them. But something changed. I--you know, I seem to recall that Bamber wanted them to change stuff for his character. Maybe they decided to hedge their bets a little?

And the Dramatic Return... sigh. That could also be true. Oh, Skiffy.

[lizardbeth_j]

Oh, ok, I get what you were saying. right, we don't know whether he'll be in title credits or after. I suspect after, just based on where Tahmoh is (since their place in the overall scheme of things is roughly equivalent). I suppose it depends on what his Sam's arc is going to be (and if anyone else is leaving).

The wank if he got into the main titles would be something to behold, yes. Fans of everyone else who's not in the titles would be all horrified that their precious wasn't there (it's some sort of gold star, who knew?). *eye roll*

Wasn't the Bamber stuff related to how he pretty much has done nothing this season, and even the PTB were acknowledging they didn't know what to do with Lee? But yeah, hedging their bets in case he left is also quite possible.
