Agreed about Dee's fascination with his "Apollo" side. Even just before her suicide, she's blowing smoke up his ass about how proud of him she is for being the leader and reveling in his glorious Apollodom. And that's the LAST FEELING SHE WANTS TO HOLD ONTO BEFORE ENDING HER LIFE, not his love of her, but her fangirl squee over him.
And I think that is why their relationship rubs me wrong. Not because I dislike her, but because I never felt like it was based the right things. But more so on her hero worship and his deep desire to be loved allowing him to accept her awe and adoration in lieu of that most basis love of who he truly was at heart. She just couldn't love him for his flaws the way Kara could.
But maybe that is why the Quad of Doom was what it was. Apollo got Dee. Starbuck got Sam. Kara and Lee had each other. Or not . . .
