There wasn't a fouth picture. (Although I have fixed it, now. thanks.)
The towel scene is a really good example of Lee being Apollo though.
it makes for an easy shorthand in fic and sometimes it strikes me as weird. A long time ago I read someone's post complaining that Kara and Starbuck were used (in a fic I think) as if she was two different people and that always stuck with me.
Actually this is the sort of thought that got me thinking about this particular duality. I think used well, Starbuck and Apollo are really great metaphors for the strong more direct part of the Kara and Lee, but I have also read fics where it felt like the easy way out of telling a more intersting story.
