Leoben and mythology: essay

[rose_griffes]

I wrote an essay! About Leoben! I know you're all shocked. ;-) I started writing this back in February. I make no claims to original thought; in fact, I'm hoping I found most of the links to the original brilliant ideas, but if I missed any, let me know. Many thanks to daybreak777 for looking over two different drafts; her suggestions helped a lot

Very interesting post.

I don't have much to say other than, Katee Sackhoff apparently said at a con recently, that they filmed the Maelstrom sex scene as a rape, which might explain the original intent, but not what ultimately ended up on the screen.

That's an interesting bit of information. If they had kept to that idea I'd say it was most likely the "real" Leoben manifesting in Kara's dreams. But that's definitely not what ended up onscreen, especially with the inserts of Kara writhing in her bunk. Wonder if they filmed those later?

Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting.

Huh.

Wow, they must've made some major changes in the editing room. Because yeah, not so much in the finished product.
