BSG finale
Mar. 13th, 2006 06:35 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
alexandralI have to make this short because of the Project of Doom thing:
1. I have watched BSG finale this morning and I had to get up an hour earlier for this because of above mentioned POD. And of course now if wish I never did because I have been VERY-VERY upset the whole day and unnecessary forceful at the meetings. Because what can the girl do when :
2. Lee’s arms, deltoids, triceps, EVERYTHING IS GONE.
3. Kara doesn’t love him anymore
4. Kara says things like “this is MY own man “ (the man I OWN)
5. EVERYBODY IS HAVING A TERRIBLE HAIRCUT DAY
6. LEE WANTS TO LEAVE all the civilians behind. MY LEE!!!
The only GOOD thing is that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenofthorns has written this amazing fiction and now I can laugh about it and not involve my soul so much with Lee, Kara, Kara/Lee.
I SAY BIGGEST EVER THANK YOU toqueenofthorns because, I guess, BSG for about a year was a part of me and I felt really really sad that this part of me was spoiled ( and before this moment I didn’t even realise what a big part it was and how silly it is to get attached to something fictional and even probably not everything is spoiled and I am over-dramatising everything). But now I can laugh about it all..
Laugh, if you are wise

Date: 2006-03-13 07:04 pm (UTC)You know, when i first saw Lee LIKE THAT, it was so terrible!! The thing is, I must start going to the gym TOMORROW because i will be getting like that too (sorry my brain is still reeling after THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE) :D
But seriously, that moment when Lee wanted to leave civilians behind did upset me the most. R.Moore is on crack! The very same Lee who almost died saving Colonial One in the Mini Series.
** Eats some nice ice-cream ** AND THANK YOU for the chocolates and things!! I need it! I am going to read your post now ..

Date: 2006-03-13 07:08 pm (UTC)well, he did leave civilians behind in the miniseries as well - they had to leave the ships without the FTL drives, remember? And Lee says he hates to make it a numbers game but it really is?
That part actually didn't bug me - he was right; they could stay and fight pointlessly and have the last remnants of humanity destroyed because the humans were too stupid to keep their battlestars and the rest of their fleet capable of running away and believed that the Cylons were gone. Or else they could do what Lee said - run from an untenable situation, but with the intention of coming back to fight another day... It's not like Lee and Adama are gone forever. So I actually think that was the right decision.
Kara? Upset me. Fat lee? Upset me A LOT! That just shows you how shallow I am.
(And I too am mourning the BSG I used to love; I don't know who these people are any more or why I'm supposed to care anything about what happens to them.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-13 07:25 pm (UTC)** Loves you even more ** Yep, i think i was over-dramatizing this bit , i guess THE REAL reason for upset was that when Lee was talking to Adama on a phone his double chin was really pronounced. ;)
And yes, i am that shallow too BUT speaking seriously: The whole story about Cylons leaving Caprica, humans settling on new Caprica, then for some reason Cylons coming back one day is such terrible nonsense for me, so without plan and thinking-through and unlogical and mainly uninteresting ( sorry, **my only opinion disclaimer**) . The second good thing after your fiction is that Ian did stop watching BSG.. Otherwise I would never lived it down..
**On a good note - he is ordering "The Wire season 3"

Date: 2006-03-13 08:21 pm (UTC)Hee! I feel the same way … I guess on a meta-level, it upsets me that the only one who truly looks absolutely ridiculous is Lee while Anders gets to still look all good and fit and everything even when he has pneumonia. (And I am actually all upset now at the implication that he is totally going to die – I almost want him to live just because now that Kara’s married him it’s more clear than ever that Lee is second, third, fourth-choice to her … So if she finally chooses Lee it will mean nothing at all because she’s chosen his brother, Baltar and Anders before him and circumstances are the only reason why she’s not with Zak or with Anders…)

Date: 2006-03-13 08:41 pm (UTC)Yep, And that he seems to have his hair in order, but Lee has this cazy "Dumb and Dumber" haircut
(And I am actually all upset now at the implication that he is totally going to die – I almost want him to live just because now that Kara’s married him it’s more clear than ever that Lee is second, third, fourth-choice to her … So if she finally chooses Lee it will mean nothing at all because she’s chosen his brother, Baltar and Anders before him and circumstances are the only reason why she’s not with Zak or with Anders…)
Agree too.. Because that if Anders dies (apart from this being a very common-place thing to have on TV) I will never be able to trust Kara’s feelings for Lee (if they ever re-appear). I honestly hope that Anders will live. He most likely will: I think it is far too obvious for everybody that he is marked to die .. and because of it he will not.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-13 08:49 pm (UTC)“Dumb and Dumber” – heeee! I guess they were trying to make us understand how Kara could possibly choose Anders over Lee and the only reason they could think of was fat and bad haircut, because otherwise Lee is so awesome in every possible way …
I will never be able to trust Kara’s feelings for Lee (if they ever re-appear)
Like many other things (Roslin and Lee’s relationship, for example), it is quite possible these feelings are never going to reappear again because remember that a year ago (in our time) and slightly longer than a year ago in the show’s time, Kara was all angsting because she called out Lee’s name while having sex with Baltar, but apparently, just a few days later, she met Anders, was with him for a week and HE turned out to be the love of her life and she’s never mentioned any feelings for Lee beyond friendship ever again? But yes, I totally do not trust her feelings for him at all – she loves Anders, not Lee. And she’s had a year to decide that and she chose Anders. Lee is second-best to her, always, I think that’s pretty clear.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-14 09:42 am (UTC)This is the other point: in some strange way this adds to my feeling “I don’t know who Kara is anymore and I don’t like THIS Kara” : You know, how sometimes in the fiction heroine loves some unworthy (or good but not very bright) guy and doesn’t love the guy who clearly is the best, like in Cyrano. I suppose it makes a good angst-generator, but I never could fully like this type of heroine. Unability to understand people was never a virtue in my book, this is just me
I totally do not trust her feelings for him at all – she loves Anders, not Lee. And she’s had a year to decide that and she chose Anders. Lee is second-best to her, always, I think that’s pretty clear.
Yep, it seems that way

Hee! So am I! But us, ladies can be pretty and curvy, but poor Lee! Why did they do it to him! And i am opening a nice "Green and Black" organic chocolate bar right now which i just found miraculously on a top of my wardrobe. I actually think it appeared there by means of teleportation from Spain, because i don't remember putting it there..
Oh! And Kara is so over Lee... *sobs sobs sobs*
This what upset me so much too.. You know, everybody says "this is because she was drunk", but i often noticed that when people are drunk they are in their most honest state , "in vino veritas" so to speak. And yes, she doesn't give much thought about Lee. And this is killing me. She can sleep with the other man, i can accept it, but where "kindred spirits" gone? Where? Where is that Kara which said "Are we fine?" and said even more with her eyes?

Date: 2006-03-13 08:16 pm (UTC)That's why I can't allow myself to get invested in this relationship (even on a "friends" level) because it obviously means nothing to the writers or to Kara - she can ask if everything is OK between them in "The Captain's Hand" and Lee can put aside whatever feelings he has for her and genuinely be a good friend to her and then for no apparent reason I can fathom, she's completely awful to him. (And I know lots of people are fanwanking that "she was drunk" or she had "no idea he has feelings for her" but honestly, saying nasty things about his girlfriend isn't even something that's cruel to someone who is romantically interested in you, it's just cruel EVEN TO A FRIEND.) I feel like Kara just doesn't place any value on Lee's friendship and she shows no interest in being a good friend to him and I just don't like her very much after these two episodse.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-13 09:03 pm (UTC)Actually I am all confused on the matter as well because, I don’t know what everybody else thinks and may be it is “just me” , but I am getting really conflicting messages about Kara/Lee relationship. One day she cares for him, the other she doesn’t. It is too much for my brain and I inclined to think that this is a poor scripting and desire to be different.
And of course, her talk about Dualla is totally disgusting, it is like I saw a different person to mama-Starbuck. But then again, I suppose She didn’t say that she is Lee’s friend when he said that he is her friend. And she was spiraling down all through the season 2 second half..
DO you think she had some sings of remorse when she was talking to Lee? It did appear that she felt uneasy and may be is feeling guilty about something..
I feel like Kara just doesn't place any value on Lee's friendship and she shows no interest in being a good friend to him and I just don't like her very much after these two episode.
You know, I am very shallow but I think that Kara/Lee relationship in season 1 was the key thing for me ..And I liked everything through it ** Doesn’t want to be a complaining person and wants to find a bright side – it is all over!! **

Date: 2006-03-13 09:13 pm (UTC)Well, then she’s just a manipulative loser, who wants to make sure Lee will always be there for her when she makes no promises to him. And I really don’t think this is what they’re going for.
I think you are right and they are just very busy trying to prepare these huge “surprises” for us and they forget that maybe they need to be consistent about how the characters interact and there is no way that the characters in “The Captain’s Hand” would be acting this way (in the early part of LDYB, I mean, even leaving aside the mysterious rift from the final half hour of Fat Lee Destroys My Soul).
It did appear that she felt uneasy and may be is feeling guilty about something..
Well, it certainly seems they had a huge rift, and I have to believe that it’s not just because Kara was so rude about Dee – although perhaps she continued to be rude about Dee to the point where Lee was forced to choose between them and he chose Dee instead of Kara? I don’t know. It did seem to me that Lee felt himself the wronged party.
The Kara/Lee relationship was definitely one of the key things for me in Season 1; and I guess I’d be OK with this (because for the most part, I found it really interesting even in Season 2 and one of the things that I have actually liked – for the most part – until these episodes, where it seemed like everything they’d gone through up till Lee hoping for Kara’s sake that she found Anders was all negated.) But they also took away Lee’s relationship with Laura, and they made his relationship with his father unconflicted, and therefore quite marginal to the story and the loss of all those things just bugs me. That and fact that it seems to me like the writers neither know nor care where they are going with Lee’s story unless it impinges on Kara’s.
Yes, at least it is all over (do you mean the season or the love or whether you're not planning to watch ever again?) I think I have seven months to decide whether I really want to watch Season 3, but I can safely say I am never going to be as invested as I once was. Much like Lee, I am very unforgiving when things disappoint me :P

Date: 2006-03-14 09:58 am (UTC)It seems so from the Lee’s POV, but I re-watched it today and Tigh said “People change” and this implies for me that Lee was the one who did wrong. O NO!! They are destroying my soul! I was so happy that Lee was such a good friend and had gotten rid of his past bitchy habits, but no – I think they are going to have a flashback of Lee’s tantrum or something NNOOOOOOOOO!

Yes, all these stories gone and forgotten. And yes, it seems that they don’t know where they are going with Lee’s story, but for me it is so with Kara’s storyline too. She has undergone more personality changes then chameleon in the recent episodes. At least Lee’s character development made more sense for me..
Yes, at least it is all over (do you mean the season or the love or whether you're not planning to watch ever again?)
I mean that this season is over ;), and yes – I will never be interested again too. Probably I will do similar thing like during this part of season 2 – will watch it all at once at the end.

Date: 2006-03-14 01:09 pm (UTC)Oh, I had the opposite reaction to that - it didn't seem like LEE was embarassed to get call but Kara was embarassed to call, so I feel like they both know it was HER issue whatever it was ... Also, it doesn't make sense to me that he'd fight with her over her comments, however hurtful - SHE SHOT HIM and he didn't bear a grudge for that and she rejected him sexually in the most painful way possible and he didn't bear a grudge FOR THAT. It must have been something else, or else he could accept any insult to himself but maybe not to Dee. Which, I actually kind of would like him for. I don't know. I just don't think it's his fault or his fault alone.
And yes, it seems that they don’t know where they are going with Lee’s story, but for me it is so with Kara’s storyline too.
I think Kara's story is very consistent in the underlying stuff - she faces adversity, she's the hero, blahblah somehow she comes up with a plan and pulls it all out... But frankly, maybe you're right - I just don't really care about Kara that much so I don't care if her story is consistent or not ...
I think I will be interested in the show on an intellectual level, perhaps, but I will never be able to LOVE it the way I used to.

I not exactly a Kara/Lee shipper I go back and forth on them a lot, but I am pretty sure Anders is a goner, I can't see them leaving Starbuck married.
personally I thought the finale was awesome and risky. and I am looking forward to the occupation/resistance storyline. and they will eventually get back to traveling in space/looking for earth.
I like that they are shaking things up a bit. YMMV

You see, but i don't understand the logic behind the story of Cylons leaving - New Caprica - Cylons return. Why did they leave? Why did they return? What is going on with Sharons? Why did Gina blown up "Cloud Nine"? There are so many things unexplained in the finale that it goes way beyond "just a cliff-hanger" and for me goes into territory "overdoing"..
Plus, I think i was attached to the "We are going to find Earth" storyline and this detour seems a pointless exercise for me.
Jumping in time and flashbacks just are a poor storyline development tricks IMHO, it is not that jumping in time is bothering me in particular, it is just these are not the best methods. (Of course, it is just my view)
I not exactly a Kara/Lee shipper I go back and forth on them a lot, but I am pretty sure Anders is a goner, I can't see them leaving Starbuck married.
And then it is going to be like in any other series "she meets the guy who is totally a dead man walking" HHHMMMMMMMMMM!

Date: 2006-03-13 09:02 pm (UTC)I'm not surprised at all that version of Sharon and CapSix are resposible for the invasion of New Caprica. as for why they withdrew, I think we will be seeing that explained next season.
I don't have a problem with them jumping ahead a year as it is a show that moves so slowly. the mini was first on in 2003 and until the time jump only nine months had passed. I also do want to see some flashbacks next year for the year we did not see. just as long as it is not too many, I think it will be okay.
I just like that they are trying to take risks. it reminds me of The Wire second season when they started the whole dock stiryline and moved what had been the A storyline(Barksdake and his crew and the squad working against them) to the B one. a lot of people were confused(especially HBO execs) but season two was brilliant. and then season three moved back to the original storyline and effectively wrapped it up.
and I like all the WWII parallels- vichy France and the resistance. I also think(not originally my idea I saw some folks mention this on TWoP) and that Roslin is a bit like Churchill(you know minus the drinking and maleness)and Baltar is kind of Chamberlain-like.
also they will be returning on the earth journey(very mild spoilers for season three nothing specific):
http://www.nowplayingmag.com/content/view/3300/2/
as far as Starbuck goes I think she is really going to realize her full strength and leadership ability in season three. she was so strong in part one of LDYB. I hope that if Anders does die, that it will not send her into a tailspin. and I am really looking forward to seeing what Starbuck, Cally and the Chief, Roslin, the Tighs, maybe Gaeta form the new resistance movement. and we saw Leoben again, if nothing else made me happy that would have. I love him and CKR!
that said I see why a lot of people would not appreciate the finale as I did. BSG may lose some viewers but I think it might pick up some new ones as well.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-13 09:18 pm (UTC)Heh! See, I think the problem for me with this comparison is that I agree that "The Wire" Season 2 was absolutely brilliant; but that was also because all of these new characters were actually fascinating and beautifully written and that even though the show had moved away from the whole focus being on the Barksdale crew, that was never the entire intent even of Season 1 - "The Wire" to me was always as much social commentary as a crime show, and the social commentary in season 2 was about the decline of an American industrial base that left former workers stranded in a no-man's land without options. In the end, Ziggy and Nick were not much different from Wallace and Poot and Bodie who might have done other things if they'd been born in other places.
Whereas this time-jump on BSG just seems to be resetting everything to where we were in the miniseries, and I think that it shows a lack of imagination, a reliance on shock rather than on actually organically developing (or taking a look at) the problematic aspects of Season 2. They've never shown us very good pictures of what's going on in the Fleet - that could have actually gone a long way to explaining Baltar's victory. And they've re-imagined the characters in such a way that because I haven't SEEN any of the changes that happened to them to see why they are so different, they just seem like these new, different, not very likeable people and I just don't care all that much what happens to them now.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-13 09:49 pm (UTC)this is where a lot of people lose me, I'm not singling you out because I have seen this sentiment from many others.
it makes sense that Laura would go back to teaching, it actually made me happy to see her doing that, it was the first time she has ever seemed to be really enjoying herself. The Chief being a union leader is perfect, very natural. and though seeing him with Cally is a jolt after the attack, I always though they would get together someday. the Tighs seem pretty much the way they always were. and Gaeta working for Baltar is great, its great to see how the hero-worship spell is finally broken. and of course Bill wouldn't leave the ship.
I don't have a problem with Starbuck marrying or leaving the military. I'm not a great Anders fan but I don't see how she is living is outside of her personality either. she's impulsive. she's been pining for the guy, their relationship is easy compared to many of her others. and she was engaged before it not as if she was against marriage for herself. and re Lee and Kara's relationship and rift, yeah making out in front of him was bad but not intentionally cruel on her part. Lee however (sorry Lee worshipers) frequently is prick and the man can hold a grudge. don't get me wrong I love the character but he is screwed up, he is a fraked up as Kara or Tigh or any of the rest.
They've never shown us very good pictures of what's going on in the Fleet - that could have actually gone a long way to explaining Baltar's victory
I do agree with this but I think its mainly budget and time constraints that prevent them from exploring the fleet. and I don't think its all that strange that people who have been running fo nine months would want to stop and settle somewhere even if the conditions were not really good. no one outside of Galactica knows how strange Baltar is(the talking to himself)no one outside of Roslin and Adama knows about Six and they have no proof.
and a lot of them probably don't believe in earth and don't trust Roslin or Adama. in fact I probably wouldn't.

Date: 2006-03-13 09:59 pm (UTC)Lee and Kara's relationship and rift, yeah making out in front of him was bad but not intentionally cruel on her part.
Asking Lee if he was still frakking Dualla and telling him to find a girlfriend WAS cruel, IMO, even if it was done unintentionally (and Kara is often unintentionally cruel - at what point does she have to stop being that way.)
Yes, Lee can bear a grudge, but come on, he forgave Starbuck for passing Zak in flight school; he forgave her for shooting him; he forgave her for trying to use him to forget about Anders - since "Scar", I've seen nothing in his behavior to her that warrants her being cruel to HIM. He's been a damn good friend to her (something that seemed to matter to her a great deal not very long before she comes back with Anders), and just out of FRIENDSHIP I think she should have not been so nasty about Dee. She doesn't want Lee so why does she care who he sleeps with? Why bring it up at all?
As for the time-jump, I thought it was a total copout, which will necessitate either never telling us anything about how they got to where they were or more of the flashback narration I found so very irksome in the latter half of this season.
Your mileage obviously varies; I'm glad the finale worked so well for you, but it didn't for me.

Date: 2006-03-14 10:11 am (UTC)You see, Starbuck's character development was very un-logical for me starting with the fact that one day she fantasizes about Lee and then in a week or so she finds a love of her life. And I guess it doesn’t help that I don’t find Anders even remotely interesting and for some strange reason he looks like Lee.
And if not for this love stuff one day we see a Starbuck who is willing to die for her friends and then we see a person who is deliberately hurting her friend. And I have read that she was badmouthing Dee and was rude to lee because she was drunk and impulsive. It doesn’t work for me, I noticed that Russian proverb “what sober has in mind, a drunk speaks out” true in many cases and yes, I believe after the finale episode that Starbuck thinks badly about Dee and doesn’t care about Lee..
, and Laura's character development was un-logical to, not because she become a teacher , but because(sorry for me being so Lee-centric ;) she did have a friendship with Lee and they went through many things together, and Where has this all gone?

Date: 2006-03-13 11:42 pm (UTC)That whole scene made me very uncomfortable. Still for me the episode was bringing everyone down - showing that following Baltar's suggestion to colonise New Caprica was a mistake. In season 3, when there is danger, suspense and Cylon Menace again - I'm sure everyone will return to the characters we know and love ..... although Anders will have to die for that to happen :P

Date: 2006-03-14 10:19 am (UTC)You know, two things i really can't forgive in people is if they are egoistic and if they hurt their friends and Kara in this scene was both. And the fact that she was drunk doesn't make it any better for me because I believe that "what a sober thinks, a drunk speaks out" and IS THIS A PERSON KARA IS?
And i am afraid that for me if Kara will return to her previous character it will just confuse me more.. ** But thank you so much for making me feel better! **
