Daily Pilots Post: Feels like home

Hi, shippers! Today's topic is the family connection, but before I get into that, I just wanted to say thank you for a great week! It's been fun. :)

Okay, so. From their first scene together in canon, we knew that Kara and Lee had some kind of connection through Lee's brother, Zak. Turned out, of course, that Kara was engaged to him, meaning she and Lee would have been in-laws. Kara and Lee, who obviously had feelings for each other as well. Add that to the fact that Kara was obviously like a daughter to Adama and, well, you had a pretty dysfunctional situation from the get-go. Nevertheless, it was all they had.

What were your favorite Family Adama moments in canon? What about in fanon? Did you think the show did enough with this side of Kara and Lee's relationship? If not, what would you have changed? What do you think of those Apollo and Artemis references that sometimes pop up in fic? Etc. etc.

To get us started, one of my favorite scenes--the first meeting of the self-help group for dysfunctional families and insubordinate officers:

I like the YCGHA arc with Adama and Lee being on the same page against Roslin about looking for Kara. Since it was after AoC and Adama had just found out about Kara's hand in Zac's death (another favorite moment of mine).

"Kara was family. You do whatever you have to do. Sometimes you break the rules."
"And if it was me instead?"
"If it was you we'd never leave."

I think this moment really spoke volumes about Lee's and Kara's relationship with the old man.
