L.A.W., Day 2: favorite onscreen moment AND evil plot bunny corral

Jan 15, 2008 17:16

Yay, a fun beginning to L.A.W. yesterday! I'm so amused at some of the responses. (And hey, only 22% of you so far have questioned my sanity. I'm very relieved.)

Blatantly stealing this from daybreak777's Kara Thrace Appreciation Week. What's your favorite scene with Leoben? Anything from the mini-series through season three is fair game (including ' ( Read more... )

Hmm . . . favorite scenes. Well, I'd have to put that I like the Kiss in Exodus 2. Why? Because it made me all kinds of squirmy uncomfortable, and yet I could feel the chemistry, the something those two have despite squirming. I was compelled to watch it, um, many times. Callum and Katee are so good. I've thought about that scene a good deal so it was effective.

Second, Head!Leoben in Kara's head. When he looks like this icon, trying to talk to her in her head, when he agrees that he's not Leoben. He looks so kind, so reflective, so human. Like he's trying so patiently hard with her, even though you know you probably shouldn't trust him you almost can. Who the heck was Head!Leoben, anyway? Again, I like scenes that make me think, where who is good or bad is ambiguous.

I have Leoben!fic ideas! I'm supposed to be writing them! Ack! This was a difficult week for me and the Leoben muse hasn't been able to strike. What I'd like to see? I second the Leoben and Laura. Also Leoben alone on the basestar. What does he do there? And more Head!Leoben and Kara. Because I don't think we'll see Head!Leoben again and that's a shame. He was interesting.

(Btw, steal away! This is fun, I'm glad you're doing this!)

Who the heck was Head!Leoben, anyway?
Inquiring minds want to know. I've yet to see or imagine an explanation that I'm willing to keep.

I don't think we'll see Head!Leoben again and that's a shame. He was interesting.
I haven't heard anything about not having CKR back next season, so I'm guessing some kind of Leoben will be around; the question is which one? I'm always glad to see him onscreen--I can't decide which I'd rather have. (Okay, actually I can, but my inner Kara-fan feels guilty about confessing that I'd rather see the real Leoben doing twisty mind games rather than helpful head!Leoben trying to deal with Kara's many, many issues. But I'll take whatever comes along. And hey, maybe whatever Leoben is around will get to spend time with someone besides Kara? Just for a change? *is hopeful*)

I second the Leoben and Laura.
Maybe if I get fic posted this week (it's looking hopeful), I'll poke at the whole Leoben-Laura idea. But ack! I'm really struggling with the Leoben/Six fic; I'm not sure I'm ready to jump into something dialogue-heavy right after it since that's not my strong point. *sigh*
