I think the writers completely dropped the ball on showing Lee's (shifting?) attitude to the Cylons
That's not all they dropped the ball on but this is a bit of a doozy since Lee has always been - more than Roslin, more than anyone - the voice of the anti-Cylon contingency. He came around on Sharon, slowly but surely, but that was because of their one-on-one relationship and you could argue that his evolving relationship with Sharon is a microcosm of his feelings towards Cylons as a whole. That said it's a lazy and weak argument because a) Sharon has proved herself time and time again as an individual and b) identifies as a human whereas the others still identify as Cylons. Not to mention that it's still largely fan conjecture that his relationship with Sharon has bettered, we haven't gotten all that much proof in canon (b/c why would be need that?).
I love Kendra. I loved Razor. (Sorry!) I'm itching to try and persuade you but ... ok, I'll let it go.
No, don't let it go. Just know that it's going to be difficult. I think I have two major problems with Razor: 1) I felt TPTB were forcing it upon us; that it was a financial ploy plain and simple and that they really didn't care much about the fan base (which I think is sorta backed up by their complete and utter disregard/laziness/ineptitude when it came to already established cannon). I felt that if they wanted to do a movie there was so much more interesting material they could have culled from, from characters that we knew and already had a relationship with. We didn't need a new character introduced. And I sure as hell wasn't sitting around wondering what the Pegasus had been doing before it met up with Galactica. I got all the background info I needed from the show already. 2) I didn't like Cain and I honestly don't think we were really suppose to. I don't like fanatics and while I could see where she was coming from there are certain lines that you don't cross. So considering my feelings towards Cain it's hardly surprising that I didn't Kendra aka Cain Jr. I found her selfish and irrational and too much of a hardass to truly be believable. She shared a lot of traits with Kara but lacked Kara's shades of gray or sense of humor and humanity.
Maybe I need to give it another try but...I'd need to be convinced since it's left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
Someone should write 'five times Lee and Helo hook up'. It would be very amusing.
Ah man, did you have to give me a plot bunny? 'Cause now I just might ahve to give it a try because of the hotness and all.
And I didn't notice you trying really really hard and am very proud. :) Teehee.
