If they were siblings I wouldn't be able to ship them. I'm sure there'd be those that would (possibly different people than those who currently ship them) but as someone who has four brothers I just...no.
I think though that I would still love their relationship. The teasing, the mom and dad taking charge of the pilots, the hyper-competent soldiers, the kids who complain to/about Dad, the two sides of the same coin thing. All of those bits would still be super awesome. Assuming they didn't find out they were siblings until later in life I could even do with some uncomfortable attraction.
I'm wondering though if they're siblings is Bill father to both of them? Is he Zak's father as well? Does the whole back story change? If Kara was dating Zak and had met Lee (had the whole table thing) and then found out she was related to both of them. Maybe even Bill didn't say anything because by the time he realized Kara & Zak were together Zak was dead but then the end of the world happened and he saw Kara and Lee start throwing off sparks and figured he'd better 'fess up.
I don't know. I think it takes it in an odd direction that would end up melodramatic. Like the end of the world wasn't enough for the characters to deal with.
