 Ducky'sgirl4ever 2009-06-14 . chapter 1A great story. Very good. |
 Sketchy Artist 2008-04-08 . chapter 22Wow. I kind of love you now. In all seriousness, I had some doubts at the beginning of the story, because you have a slight tendency to simply tell the reader things, rather than showing them, but this is an amazing story. Plus, it's really neat to see you growing as a writer as the story progresses. One of the strongest points of this work is that Yyou can tell you've really thought about how things could happen, and and it's just...wow. Amazing. An absolutely beautiful story, and I was sad to see it end, even though I knew it had to. If the fourth season happened just like this, I would be totally content. |
 NicolinaN 2008-03-25 . chapter 22God(s)! I don't even know where to begin.
I can begin by saying that I've been reading your story like in a trance for two nights in a row and one lunch (the last half chapter today) and I've been losing sleep, and I've cried and laughed and loved and bled with the whole cast of BSG and your fic.
You are an amazing writer. You definitely know your way around science, astrophysics, biology, and technology, and that gave the story such a credibility that you rarely see in fanfics. Also you managed to keep what... thirty characters or more in the air at the same time throughout the whole story. You created plots, and then subplots, and you finished them off elegantly, and I haven't reacted to anything that think didn't feel concluded. Such an effort you've put into this and I don't think you've gotten even a fraction of the amount of reviews I think this is worth. (Or do you have an insane hit score and the BSG fans are just sucky at leaving reviews?)
All that said, I do have some comments on your writing style. And I want is to give creative input and nothing else, so I hope you take it the right way. I didn't ever think I'd say this: Normally I would comment on that an author needs a little (or a lot) more flesh to the bones... You are fantastic with fleshing out events and dialogues, but you could use more bones to the flesh...
I've started and stopped this story a couple of times before but never gotten past the first two, three, maybe four chapters. They are hard to follow a plot line in, and I kept getting lost because they are so fragmented and nothing is explained. For instance, I never had any clue(until later) about Castor, who he was, why Kara recognised him, and when thinking it MIGHT be Leoben somehow, I really couldn't see why she gave himself completely to him so soon. You could've used more narrative here. Hence the 'bones to the flesh', because you're damn good at the flesh!
I think I reacted the most to it in the first few chapters, then it either got better, or it stopped bothering me. So I had problems getting 'sucked in' to the story, but once I was in, I never wanted it to end! But this can possibly be a reason as to why it hasn't gotten the attention it well deserves.
I have never had the motivation to read any fanfic this long, it normally scares me off. (Hey! Maybe more thinks like me? I want more readers to find this, I really do... maybe you could divide it into a trilogy and it would be less... frightening to start reading it!? Slap me if I'm being rude, intervening in your work like this. ) I think it was my desperation for Kara/Leoben that made me want to give it yet a try.
To me, I could be happy if this had been season 4. You left nothing unfinished, and you gave wonderfully creative solutions to every angle of the story. Even the names of everything, like the Kites, and Sentinels, and Marauders, And the explanations as to who Sam, and Leoben and Tory are and how they were created (even if I admit that I was sometimes a little lost in the twists and turns of who was what and who could do what). And your version of why the Cylons are divided, and the name Halcyon! Did you really make all of this up in your own mind? Or are you one of the creators of the series? I've come to believe that I've read the truth about it all, and I'm figuring I'll be very surprised and confused once I see season 4...
All of this is the highest praise. I'm SO amazed by you and your creation! (I would just hope that you'd consider adding to the first few chapters, and I would gladly re-read them... just for the fun of it. :) )
Unspeakably happy I found this and read it. Nicolina. |
 BDSanta2001 2008-03-06 . chapter 1"Would you be Hera’s godmother? We didn’t think of it until now because we thought she was dead.” I know it wasn't meant to be funny, but it gave me some nice giggles. I'm liking your story a lot, I can't wait to read on (and review as I go along!) |
 Commander Lorne 2007-11-15 . chapter 22bravo.bravo. that was the most OC AU BSG story ive ever read. two thumbs way up! |
 Suzy87 2007-11-12 . chapter 22No! Thank you for writing this amazing Fic! I'm crying! It's difficult for me to review this chapter, the last chapter, the end of a wonderful story and it's difficult because I think that I'm not capable to write down what I'm feeling right now. I loved Stars of Gemini since the beginning and I still love it, maybe even more if that's possible but I feel empty inside because I think it could be so much more, you understand what I mean? BSG is a powerful TvShow and the word (The End) just doesn't sound right..lolol...And that's the reason why for me BSG it's never going to be finished because in my imagination The Fleet(Humans and Cylons) are going to live forever generation after generation, story after story!
"Storyline Complete" does that means that you are going to write more, a Sequel! I think it's a great idea and the way you end the story was really good and alows you to continue and write their future on Earth. South America, Amazon? Interesting! I like it! And it does makes sense in case of world war it would stay moreless intact. If you write a sequel don't shup in time and write about the kids because I hate those sequels. Continue where Kara (from the future) and Lee (from the present) meet on Earth and she is with he's son.
Well Thank you and good luck with the writing department! |
 Commander Lorne 2007-11-03 . chapter 21great chapter i can't wait to see the ending |
 Suzy87 2007-11-02 . chapter 21Well that's a wonderful chapter, new Cylons? And bad ones, again! lolol Earth was a really sad part of this chapter it made me think about the future and if AI it's going to be a part of our future, maybe even great our own Cylons! It scares me to dead and I'm really brave! Sorry for my last review I was expecting something else but now that I think about it this way the story is better and thats only possible because of you. Well now you left us in a cliffhanger and I really hope you update really soon. Thanks and Take Care! |
 Mariel3 2007-11-01 . chapter 21You know what? This is awesome! It's incredible how you've managed a lovely, intricately plotted story through twenty-one intriguing chapters. Excellent stuff! |
 Commander Lorne 2007-10-29 . chapter 20oh no! please update for the love of god. that was the best cliffy ive ever had read. two thumbs up! |
 Suzy87 2007-10-26 . chapter 20No, No, NO! Why? Why another problem? I know that the story needs to remain the same "speed" for the begin til the end, but more deaths and more Kara drama! I think you're to focus in Kara right now! You need to use this new "fleet problem" and use Cally, Sharon, Helo, Hera, Laura, Adama and Lee I don't read anything about Lee in a long time, yeah sure he shows up sometimes and in almost every chapter but now it's to much. A Lee chapter it's a nice idea and a Cally Tyrol chapter. Think about it! Maybe after they arrive on Earth! Update Soon! And keep up with the amazing work! |
 Anastashia 2007-10-26 . chapter 18I've been enjoying the story but I've been confused by some inconsistances. Kara was five months pregnant, then they spent two months doing their feinting to confuse the Cylons. Then she was still five months pregnant or maybe even four based on at least two references including the baby first kicking stuff.
The executive officer of a ship is abbreviated as XO.
Also I think I saw you having Admiral Adama ordered to report somewhere in an earlier chapter. You don't ever do that with a Commanding Officer instead you say "Your presence is requested". |
 sneakyknave 2007-10-26 . chapter 20NO, you can't do this to me.
The beginning was so sweet, i liked it that Leoben bet the right time that was so right. And how they managed to raise Zak and work at the same time, very good and it fit's Kara well. She's so stuborn, and also the word Leoben gave Admiral Adama about breaking his Wife then he will break Adama's too, he's so protective of her it fit's him also.
But then you send them on this fuel mission and thing's gone terrible wrong, i can't believe it.
You can't let them die, please let they somehow suvive, reborn or downloaded whatsoever. Even if i don't know how Leoben should make it, cause he's the last of his copies, or not ?
But what about the dream Laura had, when they where on earth and she dies Leoben is there, that keeps my hope alive.
Please update quickly and spare us the torture of waiting ! |
 Commander Lorne 2007-09-28 . chapter 19a great ending i like the plan that tori cairried out for the end of the war |
 Commander Lorne 2007-09-26 . chapter 15the plot risk was acceptable and i love the story so far. i have read your SGA fics vision of the future and song with out words and i love them both! |
