Today I'm stealing from that great philosopher of romance, Logan Echolls. "I thought [their] story was epic. [Kara and Lee.] Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined and blood shed. Epic. But then [Kara poofed] and it [was] all over." As Logan goes on to say: "No one writes songs about the ones that come easy."

Do you agree with this, that all the most memorable fictional romances are the tragic ones? And what do you think the point of no return was, (i.e. when did Kara and Lee lose the opportunity for a "happy" ending - by whatever definition of happy you use, but at the very least, both of them being alive and together)? Was it at their first meeting, when they almost betrayed Zak? Or was it when Lee, from still-mysterious reasons, recused himself from the "Colonial Day" dance? Was it when Kara promised Sam she'd come back to New Caprica? Was it when she and Lee almost frakked in "Scar" or was it when they did in "Unfinished Business and she married Sam the next morning? Was it when Lee failed to take up Kara's offer to leave Sam in that episode whose name I constantly forget? Or was it when Kara flew into the "Maelstrom" because Lee had too much faith in her flying? Or did they, in fact, get their happy ending after all in "Daybreak"?

(I have to confess that I'm increasingly coming around to the opinion that I would have been ok with the *poof* if Kara and Lee had a) kissed beforehand or touched each other at all and if b) the script had indicated that they were devastated and heartbroken by this turn of events, instead of my having to rely on Katee's and Jamie's expressive faces to draw this conclusion.)

And lastly, here's another one of my favorite (sepia-toned) caps:
