4x19: Daybreak, Part 1

Mar 13, 2009 23:00

Guys, I thought I was ready for this. I thought I was ready to see the beginning of the end. I thought I was mentally and emotionally prepared, I really did.

I'm not.

FUCK, I'm not. *sobs*

( Spoilers beyond this point, yo )

I love your recap. I loved that Adama called Kara his daughter, though I wish this scene happened a bit earlier than it did.

OMG how adorable was the first meeting of Kara and Lee!? So nervous, yet so filled with sexual excitement. :D LOVED IT! :D

I CANNOT WAIT to read your new AU fic.
*fingers crossed it doesn't end as sad as the last one. ;)

ps. how's the Nugget doin' this week?

Aww, thankyou! *grins* I totally agree that "you're my daughter" should have come sooner, but sadly I think that's just typical Bill. Lee sure comes by his repression honestly. ;)

LOVED IT. Just loved it. He went from polite to O_O in about five seconds flat, hehehehe. And he brought her flowers!! Of course, probably politely, but still. :D

I've been outlining alllllll day today with my beta, and we're up to about *thinks* mid-S3 in terms of plotty goodness. Tonight we'll do the rest of it and then move on to S4, though for obvious reasons I won't be able to plot it fully until BSG actually ends. Heh. But the first chapter is already mostly written; just needs some editing and a good way to end off. About that ending, we'll see!

Not bad at all! *grin* I'll be doing a Kidlet update probably a bit later tonight, so you folk who enjoy said updates can feel free to look that up. :)

The AU will be predominantly Kara/Lee, but being the multishipper that I am, I can't resist slipping in some Kara/Sam as well. A little something for everyone, as it were. ;)

I've no doubt that HotDog and Nicky would get along, since it's definitely true about the love thing you mentioned, but it would have been nice for realism's sake if they'd shown the not-good parts of the transition too. Right now it just seems to me they're saying, "Oh yeah, the kid has a totally different dad, BUT HE'S COMPLETELY OKAY WITH IT EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT EVEN THREE!" Not gonna happen. And I also don't particularly like how Tyrol has acted. Seems like just another way for him to thumb his nose at Cally, in my opinion, and all the bashing is getting really tiresome.

I'd love some more Kara/Lee interaction too, but maybe RDM is building up to one big orgy next week? One can only hope! (And I am TOTALLY down with that ending of yours. Holy CRAP, how amazing and awesome would that be? Let's start up the petition right now!!)

Haha, totally. I can think of at least a few multishippers who'd sign, but I doubt that would be enough to change RDM's mind, sadly. ;)

Yeah, I personally can't write K/L without acknowledging that K/S exists and happened, unless it takes place before Season 2 or something. So rest assured there will definitely be some of that. :)

They still are, I think, but everybody's going off next week on this big mission to rescue Hera (whom Boomer kidnapped) and I suspect there will be a battle and massive death involved. Adama/Roslin are still together, but she's really starting to show the ravages of her cancer now - to the point of barely being able to walk/stand without help. So sad. :(

brought them down to a level on which we can further relate to them and comprehend them.
I agree so much. I like the flashbacks are setting up their arcs for the ending. Zak! ♥

Athena needs to shoot stuff up soon. :/

I hope we get a Kara!flashback too. It'll be interesting to see what was a key moment for her.

AU longfic sounds interesting!

amidala_thrace March 15 2009, 00:53:53 UTC

Absolutely, and I hope there are more next week. Such an amazing way to show us that there's lots we don't know about our favourite characters. And Zak's back, which makes me happy!!! We do need more flashbacks from Kara's POV though.

SERIOUSLY. I really can't believe she'd just sit in her room while everybody else goes off to rescue her daughter! Pieces or not, get it together, Athena!

Today has been devoted mostly to outlining, and the first chapter might go up either tomorrow or Monday. *crosses fingers* I'm hoping to write a lot of at least S1 at once so I can post a whole bunch at the same time. (Kind of like I did with The Sound of One Hand Clapping.)

Love the review!

The epi was awesome. Kara/Lee scenes made me squee so hard *g*

I expected that I would cry my eyes off, but I didn't coz so much was happening on it and it wasn't the kind of epi which makes you cry. I believe that the part two will make us cry...or faint *nods*

amidala_thrace March 15 2009, 01:00:51 UTC

Thank you, sweets! *grins*

I KNOW!!!! I just hope we get way more of them next week, and a sign that K/L ended up together for good. *nods firmly*

I think I was more crying just because I know it's almost the end, rather than due to anything that actually happened. I'll need a whole battlestar's worth of tissues for next week, though! *giggles*
