And as a followup to my previous Starbuck vs Starbuck post...
I remember, when I was watching some of TOS, there was a scene pretty early on in the series when one of the cadets was shot down, and as we all know, when a pilot is dead their stuff is up for grabs. But when Starbuck sees someone taking the cadet's stuff, he yells for the soldier to put it back because they don't know for certain that the cadet is dead yet and no one is touching a thing until they know for sure.
And I had a momentary flash of respect for the character. And then I realized why. It pinged me as something that Kara would do. I know it was mentioned up there in the list, but Kara is so compassionate, even if she expresses it in her own, kinda frakked up way sometimes. They way she mothers her nuggets, the way she cared for Kacey, they way she remembers the names of all the pilots who have died, I could go on and on... that girl has so much frakking love in her heart, but I don't think she even realizes it.
