DPP: In the spaces in between

[howlinchickhowl]

Hey guys, it's Friday!!! Woooooooooooooooooop!!!!

I've had an awesome week of fandom fun with all of you guys, we've talked about imaginary stuff, pilots set to music, pilots as other people and fics that make us click. We've swooned and squeed over Bamceps and the incredible bromance of Fassbender and Macavoy, we've reccomended our favourite fics

Probably THE most obvious: how they went from the whispered "I missed you"s in Unfinished Business to EoJ Raptor outmaking (and the eternal question: was the outmaking really all they did in that time?).

That, and a little filler on how they became friends after getting off that table in the Daybreak, Part 2 flashback - there was a long journey between that and the brig scene in the miniseries, and I'd have liked to see more of it than a photograph.

"was the outmaking really all they did in that time?"

No. I've decided the answer is no. They had lots and lots of dirty cheating sex. Glad that's settled. :)

[winegums]

I want to believe it wasn't, either. By the time we saw them, Kara had already been fiddling the Raptor schedules for a week so she could get Lee (I think it was the third time that week), so the answer leans towards no - even Lee can't have spent all that time angsting to her about cheating/not cheating.

Actually, wasn't Lee the CAG again at that point? He's the one who kept scheduling her on those "crap donut runs" purposely. I Like that. Sneaky!Lee

[winegums]

Oh, and I'm on board with wishing the camera had stayed with our pilots from the rec room to the bunkroom in Scar - all that hotness that didn't make it to the screen!

Other things I really wish we'd seen more of: pilots eyefrakking each other in the months between finding New Caprica and the UB flashbacks (you know it didn't just come out of nowhere, and during the dancing it looked like they'd stepped it up even MORE than usual) and - though I know it was only in Kara's head - the entire Leegasm sexing.

"all that hotness that didn't make it to the screen!"

I KNOW! And awkwardness too, I bet. Awkward hotness that I WANT TO HAVE WITNESSED! DAMN YOU BATTLESTAR!

Your two ideas I am totally on board with, there would be something really interesting about watching the whole of Kara's fantasy, where it began in the proceedings, how the Lee in her brain would act. And yeah, anything from the time between the election and groundbreaking I would love to see, because there's just nothing there.

I love Farewell by tamsibling. It's all S4 but we get to see all the little things that "happened" that we didn't see on screen.

[howlinchickhowl]

Ooh, I haven't read that one...this week has bee rife with unread fic for me! :D

[rdave1]

All of her stuff is really great and a must read.:)

[amaliak]

There was a deleted scene in Razor that I wish we'd seen more of. The idea of pilots helping each other work through their personal issues makes me happy because it speaks to a deeper friendship....

*sigh*

[howlinchickhowl]

GAH I still haven't watched that deleted scene! What is wrong with me!? To my Blu-rays I go!

And pilots being soldiery I would love to have seen more of, they work so well together in those situations :)

Haha! I honestly was thinking there was a lack of Fassbender going on, you psyched me out! Well played, sir, well played.

[amaliak]

It's such a nice scene!! And I wish they would have kept it as a book-end to Scar. I feel like they TALKED about everything except them and I would have liked to see this. I really am a big believer in their deep friendship.

And don't worry.

[witherwings]

That last gif cracks me up. Sherlock++

[witherwings]

I also want to see more of the scene at the end of Resurrection Ship II where he drops the "I didn't want to come back" bomb, because I really want to know how she reacted to that, what she said.

I'd love to have seen that too, though I've always assumed the reason the writers didn't show it was because they had absolutely no idea how she'd react, which is kind of sad for Kara's characterisation.

I'm also with winegums over wanting to see a bit more of what happened between the first time they meet in the Daybreak flashbacks and the Brig scene in the mini. Stuff clearly happened because of 1) the photo and 2) the way they talk in the mini isn't the way two people who had only had an awkward, guilt inducing encounter would talk

"I'd quite like to see Lee visit Kara in sickbay. We see Bill and Baltar, but not lee until SDoS (well I suppose there's that short bit in the Litmus deleted scene...) and he must have gone to see her before then."

YES! I was considering putting this, but then I got distracted, but yeah I would have loved to have seen him visiting her, maybe with a deck of cards and some recroom stories, would have been awesome.

And more running scenes, well, any running scenes, I count the deleted from KLG, but we actually didn't get any.

Lee was so adorable with his running song. I love that KLG deleted scene :D

[howlinchickhowl]

He was just adorable in general during her entire recovery, with the badgering and the baiting and getting her out of bed. That's why it's so sad when he finds out about Baltar, because he's been so relentlessly cheerful and I'm certain it's because she's alive, and then it all goes wrong :(
