So, apparently.

People weren't mocked enough the first go-round they were calling Sam Anders 'Blanders'.

PEOPLE. YOU'RE FUCKING IDIOTS AND SOUND LIKE YOU SHOULD BE SHOT.

Actually, if you were shot, I'm sure I'd be fine with that, as you'd stop breathing my air.

To my flist: if any of your friends say it in my sight, I'm going to mock them. You might wanna lock me from commenting in your journals. daisycm83 this means you.

ETA: For the record, since I wasn't particularly clear, daisycm83 likes Anders. It was someone who replied to a post of hers that set me off.

I can understand it, a bit. Especially if you just weren't all that interested in the resistance storyline last year. They left so much to our imaginations. They gave us the setup, and one or two of the relationships within the group (Anders being leader/captain, the rest obviously loyal) and that was it.

And, yes, exactly. He's very admirable. He decided he was going to frakkin' survive, and then he added on "annoying and blowing up toasters" to his resume.

Plus, I think his people would follow him through hell, and that's always a good sign.

See maybe it was me, I was always interested in the resistance storyline, and when people were saying that he was just in a couple episodes, how could Starbuck fall so hard for him, I was always thinking that these people have never fallen in love at first sight.

I also totally dig that he went after Starbuck, much the same way she went after him...

In Exodus Pt. 2, I also love his reaction to finding her... she was unconscious, but he still had to plant one on her... I love it.

.... plus he's a much better match for Starbuck than either that fuckwit Baltar or Apollo.

I'd have to dig back, but I think, my initial reaction to him (and the resistance) was, um, a bit mocking. BUT, I was also happy because it continued the Kara and Helo Caprica Road Show, which I wanted to see far more than I wanted to see Politics In Space.

But then, well, then there was, um, The Farm, actually. And there was the morning-after, and I just... snarky!sex is one of my kinks, and they hit it in spades, man.

It's also possible that I was pre-conditioned to love Kara with someone named Sam. *sigh* (because of my own personal crossover crack!pairing, Sam Carter/Kara Thrace)

Sam was crying when he realized she was still breathing. I didn't notice that the first and second times through, but in squinty-vision, it's much more obvious. And, and, a man who gets all teary and emotionally happy when he finds his wife is pretty damned hot. Plus, then he went all practical and slung her over his shoulder until she could walk again.

And, er, I suspect Sam Carter is also why I hated Kara/Lee early on (not to mention that, um, when fandom goes, "OMG OTP!" I may be slightly contrary and want to beat them with hatchets)

*talks your ear off*
