Kara Thrace and her frakking destiny.

Helo shippers,

I almost thought there would be no DPP today. Better late than never, right? So here we go...

I have complained a lot about Kara`s death and how mystical the whole show became in the end (and not in a good way). More than the poof, more than the table episode, more than the hooker or anything else, this is what I can`t come to terms with. And that leads to my questions for you today.

What do you think of Kara`s so called destiny?
Despite all her loud kickass persona, was she ever in charge of her life or was she just a puppet in those gods`s uninspired games and all the suffering she had to endure in her childhood and adult relationships just designed to prepare her to sacrifice herself for humanity (or whatever)?
Was there ever a moment when she could have (and perhaps should have) gone a different way?
Was there anything Lee could have done to push her to choose a different path?
In short, were they really doomed from the start or was it something they chose and therefore they are the only ones to blame for their misery and not the gods or destiny?
