DPP: Home

[shah_of_blah]

I don't think any discussion of shippery episodes would be complete without that marvel of marvels, that wonder of wonders...no, not the one you're thinking of, the other one...that's right, I'm talking about HOME.  Pilots have their first (onscreen) kiss.  We got our comm name.  Buddy!cop pilots became a thing.  Lee declared his love for her.  You

Oh! My memory is rubbish and I've only watched this episode once, so I'll leave the favourite moments to others, but thank you so much for all the clips and the vid. I just spent my entire lunch break watching them. :)

[shah_of_blah]

Well, I am very glad the clips brightened your lunch break. :)

well, except for the obvious, i like that deleted scene that you posted... it;s so funny and them and i like the whole scene with Lee being happy that Kara is back, and the fighting side-by-side down on Kobol. and basically the whole two-parter.

I love Lee's reaction to Kara's return--the way he smiles when her voice comes over the comm. So sweet.

Ok, I've been DPP absent this week, I got distracted by Ice!Pilots and sleeping and other RL stuff, but HOME is just about my favourite episode in the whole show. It's just so full of things that I love, reunions and pilots and parents making up with their children and Adama and Roslin having a friendly conversation, and it was when the show was still in this place where you believed there was hope. There were things these people could achieve if they just all stuck together and weren't idiots, and it lost that after New Caprica and the mutiny and all the other shiz

Also, in a non-pilot rant related sense, my favourite scene from Home is inside the tomb of Athena when they're all looking up at the constellations and the colony markers, because it was, I think, the first time I realised how seriously in depth the mythology of the show went (even if later it got shot to hell) there was something really magical about that scene, about learning about the original colonies and Kara's voice all hushed and awe-filled (awful?) when she realises that they're standing on earth. Gorgeous scene. Although I never understood how they got back but I choose to believe it doesn't matter

YES THIS!

i love the part where kara says to lee that helo knows sharon is a machine and loves her anyway.

And I love the contrast between how tired and haggard and fed-up she looks when she comes through the door, and the way her entire face just goes WHEEEE! when she sees Lee. I love that they don't even hesitate before hugging each other, I love Katee's FACE and how it does a million different things at once, I love the way they brush it off without actually brushing it off, like, they move past it and make a joke, but they don't move away from each other or pretend it didn't happen, it's just part of them. it's official.... i'm too tired if i missed to mention this. but you did, so thanks

Hm... That promo kiss is not right (in comparison to the aired one). He's a bit... aggressive, Kara's head seems onboard, but her hands don't know where to be. It's this weird combination of almost attack and participation vs. plausible deniability.

As a got-carried-away moment, I just love the kiss. And then the conversation by the fence moves the personal relationship a little farther. Then the whole thing is dropped. *sigh*

[shah_of_blah]

I agree about the promo kiss--it's fun and interesting to look at, but I much prefer the aired version.

I just love this whole arc so much. I never get tired of watching, reading about it or discussing it. BSG at its best. It pains me to thing of all the ways their lost their way as the show went on. But since I don't want to get down, I'll rewatch your clips again. lol.
