DPP: Beginnings vs. Endings

[kdbleu]

This is pretty simple…  (and totally stolen from kag523's LAD post the other day.  Thanks.)

How do Kara, Lee and they’re relationship evole over the course of the journey to Earth?

I agree as many have said they have that connection from the moment they met. The spark was there.

I think for a long time they didn't know what to do with the connection they had. First there was Zak, then after there was lots of guilt.

By the end of the journey, they had made peace with the past. Lee thinking he lost her, and Kara's return put it all into proper perspective. The past no longer mattered. They were critically important to each other.

Kara with all her confusion and frustration that was the one absolute constant. Lee was her constant.

Sadly by the end I think they were ready to be together, but then the poof ruined it. If not for the poof there would have been time to mourn the spouses who they both just recently lost. Lee had lost his spouses a few months before, and Kara had just said goodbye to Sam.

I think with no poof they could have slowly come together, and finally be together.

Amen to all of this.

And more than anything, the poof was pointless.

We already knew - because TPTB had already hammered home the point repeatedly - that Kara mk.II wasn't the girl who flew into the maelstrom, Revelations, SAGN and Islanded made that abundantly clear and executed it better too. Like kdbleu says, it was just about shock value and nothing else.

And yes, if their ending had just left both of them in the field, I could have accepted that - it's ambiguous enough for speculation about what happens between them afterward (though I might not have liked the resulting babyfic) but meh, it's apparently easier to make pilots the show's grand symbol of Screwed-Over Epic Love.

Dude. Field would have been fine. Yay field.

But alas.

RAGE.

And the poof was just about effect and drama not about character or story even. It didn't have to happen. *stomps off annoyed* ;)
