Kate and Sun? Are they even? haha... Also, I'm a little sad I didn't see the post to do suggestions because Carrie & Miranda (Sex and the City) are totally the understood best-friends of the series, not Carrie & Samantha. They would have been high on my list.

And even though they don't show it enough on screen (though it's obvi implied), I love Kara and Helo together as friends.

LOL I reacted the same way to Kate and Sun. I was like, what?

[just-float.livejournal.com]

I think they only had one conversation ever. I think it was when Kate mentioned something about her having been preggers at one time when Sun was talking about her pregnancy. That's all I can remember

aw sorry, I wouldn't know, I've only seen a couple of random episodes

yay Kara&Helo! I love them, and from what I understand Katee and Tahmoh have worked out a background story about that lol

oh shoot, I totally forgot to include a "other, please comment" answer! I meant to

[just-float.livejournal.com]

Oh no no no I wasn't accusing you for the oversight! I was just expressing surprise that someone submitted that one and not Carrie & Miranda. I love this survey, thanks for putting it together, girl! I can't wait to see the results.

Have they spoken in public about the backstory they've worked out?

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

The (unofficial) backstory Tahmoh Penikett and Katee Sackhoff came up with to explain a comment from Thrace in "Scattered" that she and Helo "go way back" is that the two were old friends for a long time who most likely attended the academy together as cadets and as "drinking buddies."


One close person Helo hasn’t lost from his life on Caprica is best gal-pal and fellow officer, Starbuck. While the origin of their friendship hasn’t been shown on screen, it is obvious the two have a strong bond together that goes beyond friendship. “Katie and I made choices a long time ago, initially in the mini-series you have the fight scenes. I mean we are old friends and we have been through a lot together. I have been asked this question before, but I think it is pretty safe to bet that we were either in the academy together or we have known each other for years. Whether there has ever been a romantic relationship, that is definitely a possibility—especially with Starbuck,” he jokes. “It could have been a one night stand, but there is in fact a relationship. We are more like brother and sister, and have been through a lot together. Helo really understands Starbuck and she understands him. They are a lot closer than most people think.”

I also love Liz & Jenna from 30 Rock, Brooke & Peyton from OTH season 5, Desmond & Sayid from Lost, Boone & Locke from Lost.

Here's my two cents for "other":

Kirk & Bones from Star Trek
Sam & Al from Quantum Leap

I'd add in Ted & Emmett from Queer as Folk. Or Emmett & Michael. Or Emmett and everyone. I think he was an amazing friend to all in that show!

I also love Bernard & Fran from Black Books.
