In my recent conversation with Taragel I had a few light bulb moments here are a few if them for my flist since we can never talk to much about Kara Thrace ( Read more... )

This was actually something I originally posted on TWOP as part of their big series rewatch. We were having a discussion  about Lee and exactly what RDM's plan was for the character. Personally I don't think he had a plan and that was a big part of the problem. I also think a big part of the problem was that Bamber was a somewhat weak and fairly ( Read more... )

These are my least favourite shipping behaviours, as always my toungue is planted firmly in my cheek and anyone who takes this too seriously is missing the point.
