Since I've already done two BSG peeps, I pick Derek. not that I'm still bitter about Helo going forward in BSGMM or anything like that, noooo

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.
I like Derek, I like he shook up the timeline and provided a real human connection to the post JD world, and the complexities of his relationship through Kyle to both Sarah and John.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Through his connection to Sarah and John, and the future. Though ultimately he was another soldier to fall in the war.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
Hm, I think I can relate in the sense that I think I could become like him in the same circumstance. But it's more that I find his damage interesting, than relatable.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
it used to be a pretty good, small fandom. but it's pretty quiet.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
Derek/Jesse seemed pretty doomed, though in the future they seemed to work. The complexities of Sarah/Derek were pretty interesting. And I loved the Derek - John relationship.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
I'm... still not over how he died. (though I do like the idea of a Derek v. 2.0 coming back with John from the future)

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her?
unless i was also a resistance fighter, I would try to stay Far, far away.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
all time favorite? no.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about this character (if you dislike) to someone new to fandom?
I have in the past, esp with people who are impatient with the pilot, since his arrival shifted the original dynamics and kicked the main arc into gear

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
generally, yes, AFAIK
