A DISTANT SOIL: Seasons of Spring Page 39
I have a few juicy goods on ebay. Check ’em out! And as soon as a check shows up from a client, all my ebays shut down and I go into deep work mode again. So if you want something for Christmas, please order it now. I will also be shutting down my bookstore.

Lovely thoughts there, Aeren; the only `downer’ I can see is that your chances of living & loving Jessica “Forever” was a little optimistic (unless he had a cunning plan Colleen hasn’t told us about yet).

Aw. Such a lovely scene. They look so happy. And Queen has a point. Aeren is smart. I doubt he wouldn’t have children without some sort of plan in mind. He’s so very old and has been everywhere surely he has some sort of plan.

Aeren…….hair……slicked……back……wearing……a…….tuxedo…….THUD!!!!!!

The last scene makes me wish more than ever that Seren could have gone with Seren when he left. Etan too actually. Wouldn’t have mattered on Earth as much that he’d lost his Ovanan powers.

Gone with Aeren. My tablet has a mind of its own. I still think it is really a Cylon. Or maybe it just has a crush on Seren. Or both. Those Ron Moore Reimagined Battlestar Galactica Cylons had quite the sexual appetites……
Queen Ynci
I wonder how long it takes for Ovanian hair to grow back…..me having Sexual Appetites as well (maybe not QUITE as outre as a Cylons, buuuuuut – am saying is all)

Probably should have have specified that its an adult Seren my Cylon Tablet potentially has a crush on. Didn’t mean to imply it is like Sere. All of the Reimagined humanoid Cylons were more or less obsessed with reproduction and every thing that goes along with that. They were even more eager to produce children of tgeir own than Aeren is! There were several Bi Cylons and others who were gay or it was strongly implied they were, plus others we never saw be any thing but straight. All of them no matter the orientation really loved sex. Their spines glowed while in the act. But none of them IIRC were like Sere. One of them did throttle an infant in practically the first scene of Reimagined BSG. And they killed many other kids in their attempts to exterminate humanity.One of them wanted to study then dissect a human-Cylon child like a lab specimen. But none had Sere’s perversions.

Response to RabidEwok’s “All You Ever Wanted to Know About Cylon’s Sex Lives, But Never Got Around to Asking” riff–
I think I’m glad I stuck with those clunky ol’ Original Cylons, Thank Yew…!
Getting back to the subject of Aeron–
I don’t which scene I like more, that gorgeous Wedding Kiss, or that Oh, So Sweet Pregger-Tummy Moment….
Both do a Wonderful Job of explaining why Ovanians really need to “Go Primitive” again–They are missing the Whole POINT of Life!
Living forever don’ mean Diddley-Squat without Love.

I didn’t even mention the Cylon Raider Fighter and the Cylon BaseStar ships that weren’t always well housebroken and had occasional accidents til now! :D. There was a smaller fiercer streamlined smarter and more vicious variant of the Walking Toaster Cylons from the original BSG as well. They actually even had a few of those kicking around for old times sake in the new BSG in homage to the original.

Weren’t Aeren and Seren lovers at one point? I’m getting the feeling that maybe he wasn’t exactly thrilled Aeren left him and married someone.

I suspect that by the time Aeren left, Seren had had his emotions played so hard as a football that he didn’t care that Aeren left him for someone else (which actually, at that time, wasn’t the case), but just that he left. Etan’s remotness, and then Sere, Niniri, and Emeris hovering around, Aeren was probably Seren’s only emotional haven until D’mer entered the picture.
