dangermousieDon't click if you are not a spoiler whore as there are spoilers through 2.14
The latest spoilers I read for 2.14 really do indicate that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ysrith has uncanny prescience and would have been burned as a witch a few hundred years ago :P
Lee/Dee has indeed set sail full steam. Apparently there is some kind of hostage situation where someone who wants an eye for an eye wants them to hand Boomer over (more about it later) and Lee is seriously wounded and Billy notices how Dee hovers around the poor boy. Also, apparently Billy is shot by the end of that ep and we don't know if he survives, and we have Lee coming out of his unconsciousness with Dee over him. Yup, shippy all right!
What are my thoughts on that?
One word: hmmmmm.
I am rather amused at the thought of shipper flame wars, as (some) K/L shippers will go into a huge tizzy. I am not a K/L shipper, though if they happen, that's fine, so I won't be among them. I would have been by the end of S1, but since then the ship sort of lost steam for me. Anders and all that.
Much as I like my angst, I don't think L/K can have a healthy relationship at this point in time. She has way too many issues, and he is tangled in too many of them. I agree withqueenofthorns who mentioned a while back that he can't really have a conversation about his basic beliefs and that sort of thing the way he can with Laura. I don't think she really comprehends all of him (or he all of her, really), what makes him tick (the mutiny for example) and that does not an ideal relationship make. But I think Dee is in many ways similar to Lee. I can see them talking about it. In fact, Lee/Dee would be a lot healthier for the guy, though I still can't maintain too much fictional interest (though who knows, maybe she'll feel guilty about Billy and what not). But those make the best RL relationships, anyway.
Besides, if she can have Anders, he can certainly have Dee. I love them as friends though, so I hope that won't get messed up.
In other news, H/B is my ship of choice for the show anyway, so I guess it doesn't bug me one way or the other. As long as they don't kill Boomer off (or Helo). I was scared of that for a bit when I read the summary. Also, how long is the Cylon gestation period anyway?
But overall, the shippiness is not a big deal for me on this show. I have more of an intellectual than an emotional enjoyment with BSG anyway.
