BSG semi-rant

Er, right before bed, too.

I once wrote a letter comparing Pete Shanahan to Sam Anders. This letter still holds true for the majority of Kara/Lee shippers. Although in not quite the same way. Because, even more than before, the old argument of Pete Anders will heal Sam Kara to make her love for Jack Lee that much stronger is popping out everywhere ( Read more... )

pointless shippery, wank shared is doubled

Are we talking about the A/S list again?

The latest is some nice rational person thought it was all getting a bit much and said so. Suzanne, the mad hatter, replied with an if Kandayse was so stupid as to make such comments in an interview she deserves to be slated.

Lovely individual that Suzanne

No. We're talking about people I would normally consider sane who spout lines like, "I know the show is meant to end up Kara/Lee."

Rolls eyes.

Yeah that's all it is about - Apollo and Starbuck. Nothing else.

Save us from the mad people.

OBVIOUSLY. It's just a long-drawn-out cliche romance novel, complete with happy ending and babies.

What were the rest of us thinking when we considered it SciFi?

people say that? really?

lyssie July 12 2006, 13:35:23 UTC

They do. It's highly obnoxious. I'd also like to note that the series doesn't have to end with Kara and Anders bouncing happily into the sunset.

But then, I'm still jonesing for Kara&Chief friendship fic

I suspect there will be Kara/Lee. Whether the show "ends up" Kara/Lee will depend only on whether it happens to get canceled right when Ron and Dave arrive there and before they have a chance to leave again.

If it makes Kara happy, fine. If it makes Lee semi-happy (because, let's face it, he only thinks Kara will make him happy), fine. But if it turns into babies and kittens and fluffy bunnies, I'll be really unimpressed.

As I think I implied already, I'm sure that's not gonna happen.

People want their fairytales.

Personaly, I'm waiting for dragons to show up.

I love dragons.

:-)

..

Then they should stick to Disney movies. Because, Galactica? Not a fairy tale.

Dee/Lee IS vastly under-developed. So are many, MANY of the relationships on Galactica--including Kara and Anders. Kara/Anders only feel more developed because they've had more screentime (and they grin really really goofily at each other a lot).

JB and KS could have chemisty with a cardboard box (hell, so could most of the cast).

Thing is, I'd be ok with it not being for the long haul--as long as they don't kill Anders off. Because that's the cheap way of doing it. I'd rather have them eventually realize they don't talk, they're just very spur of the moment, and they really don't know each other--Sam prefers sunlight and trees and Kara prefers Galactica.

I'd also note that having Lee come between them is also the cheap way out.

Maybe Sam really wants kids. We're fairly certain Kara doesn't. (kids can SO be a deal-breaker)

I'm hoping BSG will skip the cliche of The Leads Get Together. Especially if they want to continue saying, "Look! We Are New and Different! Nobody Does This!" with all that pretention behind them.
