DPP: Pilots and PapAdama....... (a.k.a. We Are Family)

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Today's DPP is something that I'd be willing to bet all of us have thought about at some point or other: the fact that Bill Adama sees both Lee and Kara as his children. He can also clearly be a (inadvertent) source of friction between the two of them, given that in their very first scene together in the miniseries, he was the first thing they argued about - but what impact does he have on the way Lee and Kara relate to each other?




In canon, PapAdama seems to be completely unaware of the fact that Lee and Kara have a connection that's more than just platonic or familial, especially since they often act like siblings when they're around him. (see below: it's rather telling that Kara is the one who knows the story and not Lee).


On the other hand, pilots in canon seem to see their relationship with each other - and especially the romantic part of it - as completely separate from their relationship with Bill. (sample: in UB and also afterward, neither of them brings up his reaction as a possible obstacle to them getting together). So how do you see them, shippers?
