BSG finale

[alexandral]

I 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 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 to queenofthorns 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

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

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!! **

I suppose She didn’t say that she is Lee’s friend when he said that he is her friend.

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

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..

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.

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 so hope that you are right!
