Resurrection Ship Part II

[teachlikeroslin]

And we're back! I must apologize for the delay (as I know all of you are just dying with the anticipation of what I, teachlikeroslin/Annie, think about these episodes). I don't even have any good excuses. I've just been super lazy and filled with Netflix that took up my precious BSG time.

I know. I suck.

But here we are! Resurrection Ship Part II! I

Your point about Lee and depression is well taken. It would never occur to me to take my own life (I'll keep my claws hooked into this one as long as I can) so I can't really put myself into that kind of world.

But I suppose I still have an issue. It'd be one thing if Lee were just some person off the street or even a friend, because I wouldn't know that person or friend in their unguarded moments. They'd have this whole private life I wouldn't be privy to. But, in this case, since Lee is a fictional character, we can follow him into his more unguarded moments. I know more about his psyche because I see him in all of his moments. Now, I guess you could argue that Lee is in denial to the point where he can't even let his guard down when he's alone and I'd even concede to that point. There's just something about it, for me, that doesn't ring true because at this point in the series, I feel like I've known Lee, facade and no facade and with the way that I've come to define him, suicidal tendencies just doesn't compute.

Um, if that makes sense.

But, as I said, I have no experience in this area. But we all bring our own biases to anything we watch, yeah? Which is the really cool thing about fandom, I find, and why I love when people comment on my posts because there's nothing I like better than hearing other fans' interpretations. For real, yo.
