2. Battlestar Galactica!

[mfirefly10.livejournal.com]

Most of these are related to Kara :D.

1. I actually really liked her ending. The whole vanishing-into-thin-air thing worked for me. I'm kind of in love with the idea that she only came back to fulfill her destiny and now, she's done and moving on to the next stage of her existence.

2. Kara belonged with Sam. Yes, I'm biased because I happen to be a Sam/Kara shipper but I also think their ending made sense with what had been established in canon. Clearly, they both had 'special destinies' to fulfill and I don't think that would've happened if they hadn't met. I also think there's plenty of cannon to support the idea that Lee and Kara were not meant to be. They never got their timing right and I think it would've felt...wrong/forced if they ended up together.

3. Tory rocked. I don't care what the writers did to screw up her storyline in 4.5, I still think she was awesome and I think it sucks that she went out like that. At least they could've let her fight more or done something to inflict some serious damage before she went out.

It saddens me to think that the writers crapped all over so many characters I loved. Tyrol, Tory, Dee, Boomer, and even Leoben (who apparently had no purpose in the series after he lost his faith in Kara)...*shakes head*...Such a shame...

TORY :( She had so much potential, and then it was like the writers had no idea what to do with her. but, yeah, I totally agree.

[mfirefly10.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I think that's the same thing that happened with Boomer. The writers basically forgot she existed for an entire season, then decided to write her into this relationship with Cavil and turn her into a villian without any real explain as to how she got to that point. And Tory...she became nothing more than a caricature. She became the Final 5 cylon we were meant to hate because she hated the humans and wanted to live in a cylon-only society and blah, blah, blah...Bad storyline decisions, in both cases.

For meme 1: Juliet Burke (can't wait to see your answers)

For meme 2: Lost

[mfirefly10.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was hoping someone would pick those! *twirls you*

1 - a. "Camp's Moral Police" from One of Us - Juliet wonders how Sayid and Sawyer can be so damn judgemental after all the crap they've pulled. Total badass who tells it like it is.

b. Seeing Rachel and Julian on the monitors - EM was breathtaking in that scene. There isn't much dialogue because it's simply not needed. She conveys so much with just her emotions and it is one of the most moving, powerful moments in the series.

c. Last few scenes from The Incident - It's too hard to pick just one because Liz rocked them all. From her heart-breaking last words to James, to her epic Big Damn Heroine moment with the bomb...All fantastic...BUT...The BEST moment in that episode, for me, is the tiny little look she and James exchange before Jack drops the bomb. That smile she gives him...If that isn't the pure definition of heart-breakingly beautiful, I don't know what is. I'd give her the emmy for that smile, alone!

2.

a. I loved Ana-Lucia. I never understood why the rest of the fandom seemed to hate her. I thought she rocked it from the very first moment she stepped on-screen. It didn't hurt that she spent a lot of time kicking Sawyer's ass and looking hot while doing it. And I am a TOTAL Sayid/Ana shipper :D.

b. I HATE Jack. When I found out that he was originally meant to die in the pilot and the network talked JJ out of killing him, I was SO furious. The only time I could even stomach the character was in his scenes with Juliet and they quickly ruined that.

c. Kate should drop both Sawyer and Jack to be with Claire. The only time we've seen any real growth with Kate was after she started caring for Aaron. Her reason for returning to the island was so she could reunite her son with his bio mom but I think the kid deserves BOTH of his mommies. Plus, Evie and Emile have really lovely chemistry.

1. Starbuck from BSG

2. Dollhouse (or Firefly, whichever you wanna pick).

[mfirefly10.livejournal.com]

Ooh...tough one...

1. a. KLG2 - Kara breaks down after learning the truth about Athena/Sharon. Wasn't a big scene but I think Katee NAILED that reaction and it just breaks my heart every time.

b. Daybreak2 - Kara's final goodbye to Sam. Partly influenced by my shipper feelings, I also just think Katee did an incredible job with that scene. She hit all the right emotions and made what was already a sad scene truly devastating.

c. AoC - Kara tells Adama the truth about Zak. This was the first time I realized the true power of Katee's acting skills. She just KILLS this scene and to be able to hold her own in a scene like that against EJO...It's no wonder she won the audience over.

2. I'll go with Firefly...

a. Didn't really care for the Mal/Inara relationship. I think they had a lot of sexual tension and that was nice but I never wanted to see them develop into a real couple. I actually think they both had more chemistry with Christina Hendricks' 'Saffron'.

b. I liked 'Heart of Gold'. That seems to be the one episode every fan lists as their least favorite. Now, I definately think it was one of the weaker episodes of the series but I still love it in every way. And I kinda dug the Mal/Nandi hook-up.

c. I HATE River/Jayne. For some reason, a large majority of the fandom seems to love this possible pairing but I think it's icky. First off, River is a 17 year-old CHILD. I realize her maturity/intellect level was probably greater than Jayne's at the age of 2 but it doesn't make them compatible. River needs to grow into a woman before she gets involved with anyone and even then, it shouldn't be Jayne.

1. Athena! :D

2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[mrsdrjackson.livejournal.com]

Grace does SO WELL with the dark and super emotional aspects of acting. I hope we get to see more of this talent!

I've never really considered Buffy/Faith. I think after Faith came back in season 7 it would have worked better. Before that they were too busy being crazy-pissed at each other. ;P

That's kinda why I ship them :D. I think if you can hate someone that much, it's only because you loved them first. But I do agree that it wasn't really an option (beyond hate!sex) before season 7. And if you've read the comics, you know that it's not an impossibility:).

[mrsdrjackson.livejournal.com]

Okay now I think I need Buffy/Faith hate!sex fic.

I blame YOU Meg! :P ;D

These are as close as I could find on such short notice but I think you get the picture :D.
