L.A.W., Day 2: favorite onscreen moment AND evil plot bunny corral

Yay, a fun beginning to L.A.W. yesterday! I'm so amused at some of the responses. (And hey, only 22% of you so far have questioned my sanity. I'm very relieved.)

Blatantly stealing this from daybreak777's Kara Thrace Appreciation Week. What's your favorite scene with Leoben? Anything from the mini-series through season three is fair game (including ' ( Read more... )

*Uses closest thing to a Leoben icon she has*

-I like the scene in Flesh and Bone where he gives the Kara Thrace exposition speech. Is that cheating? ;) Primarily I liked it because we learn of this whole new layer to Kara, but the looks on both their faces are so moving.

-When he tells Kara about Kacey's surrogate mother and how she has a difficult but rewarding path and she'll know the mind of God in this lifetime. It was so effective it fooled ME - I started to think Kacey must really be Kara's too, and I was sure they were going to kill her so as not to "saddle Kara with a kid." I mean, I kind of hate him for that too because he basically broke Kara for the rest of the season, but hey, give the evil genius credit where it's due. ;) And I even wonder if he might have been mixing lies with the truth there - i.e., maybe he was telling the truth, only about Kara and not Kacey.

Considering my own fascination with that whole episode, I'll give you a pass. *g*

Yeah, that was one effective speech. Especially with that juxtaposition of Leoben's calm demeanor, Kara's absolutely freaked-out expression, and the adorable tyke obliviously playing with blocks.

Okay, my beloved scenes are ( ... )

Oh, there is one scene too I must put it in the line...

When Kacey is hurt and lying in bed. Kara tooks Leobens hand and he is watching her. Only a single second but I love it!

In Flesh and Bone. When Leoben is in the airlocke and Kara goes one step forward and puts her hand on the glass between her and Leoben. Their hands meets together in a way... I like the scene because of Karas reaction.

Yes, that moment of Kara showing compassion for the enemy, showing that they've made some kind of connection is a favorite of mine as well.

It's very annoying but I look the show in englisch, I read ff ins englisch and most of the fans are englisch spoken and then I have lots of plots in my head but I can't wrote them down because of the other speak. It's very hard to explain.

Well, I spent over a year in France and still find it difficult to express myself emotionally in French. I can't imagine trying to write fiction in any language other than English, since it's my native language. But yay, it's great that you write fanfic, even if most of us don't get to read it.

Hmm . . . favorite scenes. Well, I'd have to put that I like the Kiss in Exodus 2. Why? Because it made me all kinds of squirmy uncomfortable, and yet I could feel the chemistry, the something those two have despite squirming. I was compelled to watch it, um, many times. Callum and Katee are so good. I've thought about that scene a good deal so it was effective.

Second, Head!Leoben in Kara's head. When he looks like this icon, trying to talk to her in her head, when he agrees that he's not Leoben. He looks so kind, so reflective, so human. Like he's trying so patiently hard with her, even though you know you probably shouldn't trust him you almost can. Who the heck was Head!Leoben, anyway? Again, I like scenes that make me think, where who is good or bad is ambiguous ( ... )

Inquiring minds want to know. I've yet to see or imagine an explanation that I'm willing to keep.

I don't think we'll see Head!Leoben again and that's a shame. He was interesting.
I haven't heard anything about not having CKR back next season, so I'm guessing some kind of Leoben will be around; the question is which one? I'm always glad to see him onscreen--I can't decide which I'd rather have. (Okay, actually I can, but my inner Kara-fan feels guilty about confessing that I'd rather see the real Leoben doing twisty mind games rather than helpful head!Leoben trying to deal with Kara's many, many issues. But I'll take whatever comes along. And hey, maybe whatever Leoben is around will get to spend time with someone besides Kara? Just for a change? *is hopeful*)

I second the Leoben and Laura. Maybe if I get fic posted this week (it's looking hopeful), I'll poke at the whole Leoben-Laura idea. But ack! I'm really struggling with the Leoben/Six fic; I'm not sure I'm ready to jump into ( ... )
