DPP: Starbuck and Apollo

Next up…





 
Starbuck vs. Kara
 
 
 
Apollo vs. Lee
 
 
 
This is a fic trope that pops up more occasionally.  Usually in reference to the duality between Kara and Starbuck, her alter-ego or mask. 
 
Personally, I think that the mask vs. the protected person inside is more true for Kara because Starbuck is a more outrageous personality.  Lee and Apollo seem more integrated for him.  Although I’ve always thought that his relationship with Dee was based on her fascination with Apollo and not the very real and more damaged person underneath.

I always thought that it was apparent, especially when she's giving him pep talks - she nearly always, if not actually always, refers to him as Apollo instead of using his given name. We don't need to be hit over the head with the signs, because they're there for anyone to see if they're paying attention. (unfortunately, it seems that a lot of people.....don't.)

She's very, very taken with that persona - who wouldn't be? - but it didn't always make for a very good understanding of the man and not the CAG.

actually i think that she would have been a very nice addition to the fandom.

lol yes!

(wonder if she'd have been a pilotshipper though)

Maybe she would've written a ton of Mary Sue/self-insert fic? ;)

Well, that is a risk but I believe that we would have managed to turn her around to our way of thinking.
