Hi, darling, how are you doing? I'm so sorry you are so upset... As you know, I have been pretty disappointed too, but I'm trying to find my zen (RDM is not going to kill my love for the show and the pilots, that's for sure). I agree with you on so many points about the finale... It wasn't brilliant, that's for sure. Yes, there were moments I loved... but the whole 'God is the answer' bullshit really made me angry, seemed like the easy answer (and BSG has never been about easy answers, to begin with). And yes, the last 5 minutes were so heavy-handed that were awful to watch.
Ron tainted their relationship for me
This hurts because if there is something I know for sure is that nothing is gonna make me love less Kara and Lee... And it saddens me so much to hear you say that pilots' relationship is tainted for you...
However, I must admit that the table makeout scene didn't bother me as much as you for different reasons. First, Kara and Lee were very, very drunk. And when you are so drunk sometimes you are not really aware of what you are doing... So you can do things that you will regret later. In addition, I believe that they were totally overwhelmed by each other. Their attraction was so blatant that they were totally oblivious to anybody (and this has already happened... the first moment that comes to my mind right now is the public boxing match in UB in the presence of their respective spouses). Yeah, what they did was wrong and almost unforgivable... and that's why -RDM's version- they never could make their thing work out.
I wish I could find a way to organize a round table discussion with Ron, David, Jamie, Katee and all of us shippers
lol! I'd definitely need that.
I will love them always because there is no one out there like Lee and Kara. I have made some great friends because of Lee and Kara so I am grateful for that too.
I love to hear that from you. I know it is hard because all of us had invested so much in that relationship but I truly think that this will pass and all of us -sooner or later- will find a way to make peace with BSG.
I guess tainted is a bit harsh and now that scene doesn't flash in my mind when I think of pilots. But I wish that Ron had given us a little something. Realistically, we all knew Lee and Kara were never going to get that bright, shiny future as much as we hoped that was never a possibility.
Since Ron gave us that table sex scene, I wish he would have given us at least a handshake at the end. May be Lee picked up a grass flower and hands it to Kara, she takes it, they shake hands and Lee moves first to go where ever they were going to go thinking Kara will follow but she disappears. That would also bring their relationship to full circle like the very first time I met. I feel that Ron took and took and we got nothing in return. Hell nothing in the finale made sense, the last supper photo still doesn't make sense and the cycle never really broke because 150,000 years later we are right back where we started at the beginning of the end.
I still fully love my pilots and I don't give a frak what Ron has said or done. Now, I am pissed at Ron and not pilots, I could never be mad at them.
