Oh,and the guy also leaves behind a rich girl who loved him(but was a bit of 'a lover scorned') and who was pregnant with his child...Of course,the child was born fatherless.And in much sorrow,I'm sure.
Yeah,after some BSG depression,that was exactly what I needed.NOT.
Go me!
Anyway,about that Katee inty...
I found it through ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
greycoupon,who is always a fantastic source for stuff like that.Beware though,because there are probably SPOILERS in there.I read only through the first 3-4 questions and answers(up to the point where Katee says she wasn't disappointed with Kara's ending) and there are only some vague spoilers in that part(they were enough for me,though).She speaks in a rather general manner,not much stuff in particular:how Kara will end...how she will not end...but very generally.However,there is a huge possibility that there are much bigger spoilers in the rest of her interview.I kept myself from being a complete spoiler-whore and did not read that,so I don't know for sure.Just...beware.
I have already wrote a rather long comment about my take on things HERE, as well as a really sad reply to greycoupon's entry(which I am a rather sorry about....it reached a depression-high for me).
All I'll say here is that Katee's interviews are like poison:I know they're not good for me,but I am addicted to them. *sigh*

Anyway, I think I'm with you on Kara probably dying, but having it be ambiguous enough that we're left wondering if she goes on in some Aurora-y sense. All the talk about her "finding peace" and her "end being open to interpretation" and "she's not alone in my opinion," is what makes me think that. I'm frustrated too, because they've already gone there with her, and at this point I'm starting to feel like it lacks imagination to do it again! ;) Actually, this interview was the first that made me think maybe she does survive.
You haven't actually read the part that's got everyone thinking Lee might die, but I'll just tell you that I don't think it was that clear cut. And remember that Katee is probably trying to mislead us a little. And just the fact that she says Kara and Lee don't walk off into the sunset holding hands, doesn't mean that they definitively don't end up together. I have to admit, a part of me was hoping that Katee would hate the ending, because she's such a tragedy-addict. ;) But apparently the finale is really beautiful and intelligent and all that, so maybe her ending was so well-written she ended up liking it even though it wasn't exactly what she had in mind. I mostly got the impression she didn't want things all neat and tidy - which was never a concern of mine with this show!
So anyway - *hug* - if I were you I would just avoid spoilers; oftentimes the dread can be worse than the actual thing that you're dreading, you know? I'm also feeling better ever since I discovered the world of fanfic; on the off-chance that I hate the end we get onscreen, someone will write me an end that I can live with. I'm not your slave anymore, canon! ;) I know that doesn't work for everyone, though...
Hee,that's exactly what I do!Besides,these interviews rarely give big spoilers(especially this year,with the confidentiality agreements and stuff).
But,you know.There are interviews...and there are Katee's interviews. lol
Anyway, I think I'm with you on Kara probably dying, but having it be ambiguous enough that we're left wondering if she goes on in some Aurora-y sense.
Oh,no,you got me wrong!I don't think Kara will die again.It's just that...I believe,somehow,she has already died.In the maelstrom.The 'human' Kara is gone and her existence now will probably be explained in some mystical way...Aurora-like,as you said.Like she will be revealed to be a goddess,or an angel,something supernatural.That's just my speculation,of course.The problem is...I'm not really fond of the possibility of a Kara-as-an-upper-being plot.This may sound weird,but I empathized so much with the flawed,frakked-up yet human Kara,that an uber-supernatural ending will make me feel like I got cheated.But this is totally a personal thing and probably has to do with the fact that I always was more a fan of the realistic BSG aspects than the religious/mystical ones...
On a different note,I think Kara "finding peace" is the only thing Katee and I agree at(yay!!).
You haven't actually read the part that's got everyone thinking Lee might die, but I'll just tell you that I don't think it was that clear cut.
Oh-ho.There is a part in her inty implying that...Lee dies?*sigh*I guess that's why there was so much freaking-out over Lee in the comments.Actually,my bad feeling about Lee dying didn't come from Katee(because I've skipped the depressing part,probably!).It came from Bambie's latest video-interview for E!Online.He did say something about a scene he was filming that got me scared.And when asked if Lee dies in the end,he (obviously didn't say,but)looked like he thought "Oops,busted!".And poor JB was never good at misleading the fans,so...Plus,killing Lee would be the biggest punch-in-the-face,since he has been pushed way too much as the 'future' and the 'leader-to-be' of the fleet.And we know that Ron looooooves the punch-in-the-face effect!
Or it could just be me and my eternal pessimism.
And just the fact that she says Kara and Lee don't walk off into the sunset holding hands, doesn't mean that they definitively don't end up together.
I kind of smiled at that comment of hers.I mean,come on,I am a HUGE shipper,but I never expected that kind of ending,realistically...But it's funny,because I've read Katee mentioning Kara+Lee+sunset+hand-holding in four different intys,at least.And I keep thinking "My,this has got to be her BIGGEST fear ever!".Which makes me both mad(ridiculous ending indeed,but it would be happy,girl!) and giggly(because it's hard for me to accept that such a smart woman,who works with RON MOORE for 5+ years could ever possibly think that HE would give the show a fluffy ending!).
Anyway,I doubt K/L will be together in any manner,because I don't think Katee would be satisfied with that(and she said she IS satisfied with the finale).Katee is not really fond of the 'shipping' thing,me thinks.Don't get me wrong,I don't mean she doesn't like Kara/Lee...I just believe she doesn't like Kara being focused on a man(whether it's Lee or Sam or Leo or whoever).That's why she's such a big fan of the Kara-alone+on-her-own possibility.She seems to prefer the aspect of female strength and total independence in the character.
Yes,ALL that!Everybody says it!And I got a little warm inside...because I thought it would be hopeful,at least!
Then,I (unfortunately) start the speculating stuff...and if Laura dies(my biggest fear right now),and if Lee dies...how will the Old Man possibly live?He won't!And if he dies too...where's the frakkin' beauty??
lol (just don't pay attention to me...I'm in the middle of a deppression-related panic-attack!)
I have to admit, a part of me was hoping that Katee would hate the ending, because she's such a tragedy-addict.
Seriously.That was my biggest hope:that she would come out and say that the ending was not right for Kara and she was unhappy with it.Then I could be calm and certain that it would be a happy one!With a not-dead,not-alone,not-miserable Kara.
It's understandable,Katee prefers the drama.It's also probably much more challenging for her as an actress.But I have much of the drama in my RL,so I don't really enjoy it in fictional endings at the moment.

So true...Wise words.
I'm also feeling better ever since I discovered the world of fanfic;
The world of fanfic is the world of salvation.BSG-wise!
I'm sure it's where I'll end to keep my sanity...So far,I freak out over how much writing exists out there and I don't know where to start from!
Oh,and I just realised that you're trying to make me feel positive about my
sinkingship,even though you ship other people.That was very nice... **hugs to you**
P.S.I did read your TRLT review...weeks ago,but since it was a months-old entry,I didn't really know where to comment.You definitely thought about the episode a lot more than I did,and in more levels.I was impressed,because I hadn't even thought some of the things you mentioned!I'm still not a fan of TRLT,but it's possible that I'm thinking of it in a different way now...I'll probably have better(and more coherent) thoughts after a rewatch.
I must NEVER again leave livejournal for a week.It ends badly for other people(those who answer to my posts,specifically).
I am so sorry...
