L.A.W., Day 2: favorite onscreen moment AND evil plot bunny corral

Yay, a fun beginning to L.A.W. yesterday! I'm so amused at some of the responses. (And hey, only 22% of you so far have questioned my sanity. I'm very relieved.)

Blatantly stealing this from [livejournal.com profile] daybreak777's Kara Thrace Appreciation Week. What's your favorite scene with Leoben? Anything from the mini-series through season three is fair game (including 'Razor'). Theoretically you should limit yourself to two scenes. Good luck with that. *g*

I wouldn't call these my all-time favorite scenes--honestly, that's hard to choose. But these two scenes are very enjoyable.

1) 3.01 Occupation/Precipice. When Leoben downloads and comes back to the Insane Robot Love Shack with this opening line: "Hi, honey, I'm home." *snerk* And he gives Kara this oh-so-sincere speech about helping her see the "truth" of her life, and he's Just Completely Nuts and I love it.

2) 'Flesh and Bone'--Leoben tells Laura not to judge Kara too harshly because the military teaches people to dehumanize... Ha!

Obviously I have a twisted sense of humor.

Your turn now!

*******

Shortly before posting this I realized that we'll be out of scenes to choose from soon without repetition. (Not that you can't repeat someone else's choice, but it does make the whole thing a bit less fun.)

Some of you write, some of you make videos, maybe your creative fandom endeavor is to do analysis... maybe you just sit back and appreciate all of it. Whatever the case may be, chances are you've had a stray thought cross your mind--something you'd like to read or see but you'll never do it yourself for whatever reason. Why not show us how crazy you are share your creative ideas.

I've never done any vidding, so all my ideas have been fic-related so far.

For the record, I have written and posted (though not linked to a comm) the following weird Leoben-related stories:
a BSG/What Not to Wear crossover
Leoben on Earth at Christmastime crack
a wrestling match between Leoben and Sam over who Kara's destined to be with
eta: Leoben talking to Baltar about relationships

go ahead, try to top my public displays of weirdness

Though it may not seem like it from the previous list, there are some plot bunnies that I've resisted. The strangest so far is a BSG/Buffy crossover.* Leoben's on Earth, a vampire tries to bite him, Buffy charges in to save the day with interference from Spike, who says that Leoben smells 'mostly' human and... okay, I have more than this written, I just don't want to confess any further. *g* (two notes: one, there's not a lot written; and two, no one but me will ever see it)

On a slightly less insane note, I really want some fic with Laura and Leoben.** A season three episode insert maybe, with her interrogating the Leoben who was taken aboard Galactica (before Helo suffocated them); or Leoben talking to Laura in the New Caprica detention center... I have a hard time writing dialogue, so nothing from this idea has really gelled for me.

If you feel like confessing what possibly insane, possibly fascinating Leoben-related fic/vid/other endeavor you've always wanted to see, put it in the comments. Maybe someone will want to adopt your plot bunny!
