Remix needs youNew SPN tonight! I didn't get nearly as much writing done during the hiatus as I'd have liked, but since that seems to be the case for me all the time with writing now, I guess I'm just going to have to deal with it. I need to carve out more time for that, but it's hard

I totally agree about the big part of why I hate Lee/Dee. Billy's exit was so graceless (and I LOVED Billy/Dee- they were my original OTP of the show), and the formation of Dee and Lee's relationship was awkward. I like ficcing Lee and Dee, but on the show? Very lacking. (And yeah, I am so with you on Lee.) To be honest, I kind of feel about BSG like I did about HP- they write gen a lot better than romance :)
The thing that makes me saddest about the Pegasus in retrospect is that they had this chance to bring in some new characters (especially since they were starting to kill others off), and they didn't really take it. There are a lot of people on the Pegasus that could have been much more interesting (Narcho, Showboat, Hoshi, Stinger...), especially since they really started running short on humans later. And the Pegasus-Galactica interactions had some serious potential as well, and it never really came to fruition.
Ah well. That's what fic is for!

I would have liked to have seen more of Laird, actually. I thought that was an interesting story they never took anywhere.

Caprica/Boomer. OMG, YES. God, I loved the potential for that pairing.

I can't tell you how much it pisses me off when the PTB go 'oh, look, those two actors have chemistry, let's run with it' when it makes NO FRAKKING SENSE based on what we've already determined about these characters (Lee/Dee and Sayid/Shannon being my two biggest pet peeves). The resolution (or, more accuately, the LACK of resolution) for Billy/Dee was atrocious. I LOVED Billy/Dee - and, yes, the actor was leaving but why sink the Billy/Dee ship? They didn't need to make Dualla so flightly and cruel to Billy - if they were set on Lee/Dee they could have made that happen post-Billy.
I loved, and still love BSG. I just think there was potential for so much more and the writers/producers squandered it.

Yeah, that just made Dee look bad and made us feel worse for Billy. The latter was probably the point, but it shouldn't have been done at Dee's expense.

They really did. All that s3 time spent on Baltar on the cylon ship could have been used for interesting things. Sigh.

I think if Dee was still doing badass communications stuff instead of just being an object to cause Lee angst, I might eventually have been won over to the Lee/Dee relationship. But it never felt like a relationship of equals, and I wasn't all that convinced by their chemistry,
No, I agree. It seemed very pasted on to me. Whereas I got Kara/Anders, even if I didn't think they were necessarily right for each other.
I just get the feeling that Billy was supposed to be a Cylon sleeper agent, and I think that would have been a much more moving (and just plain interesting) arc than Tory sleeping with Gaius Baltar
I hear you. I feel like Tory was always set up to be untrustworthy, but to have Billy turn out of be a cylon would have been amazing.

his moral crises - being that close to the president - would have been way more interesting to me than lee's.
I agree!
