Despite the horrible, terrible, no good finale, Kara and Lee are forever together in my mind (and in fic, of course). I have been thinking about why they are such a powerful couple for me. More powerful than my first ship Mulder/Scully and more powerful than my obsession with Buffy/Spike. WHY WHY WHY?
Because at the end of the worlds, when life and hope and promise were gone, destroyed by the cylons, they found each other. They found the spark, the ignition, the raison d'etre for existing. Despite the loss, despite the death and risks and pain, they returned to each other time and time again because their connection reminded them that love and hope and passion were enough. That loyalty, trust, devotion, and friendship were all they needed to wake up every day, push through the pain, force themselves forward, make the hard choices, and wake up again the very next day. Because just existing is not enough. Just walking through life, blindly following orders does not a worthy life make.
Their love was epic, flawed, painful, sweet and whole, encompassing their shared pasts and sometimes separate futures. In the end, they always came together, one always seeking the other until the end of their days.
Don't care about the finale. I saw her poof and don't care. I saw the writers push them apart. Don't care. Saw the fat stupid pigeon, flopping around the room then flying away from Lee. Don't care. Saw RDM minimize their friendship and destroy their essential natures to serve his plot. Don't care.
What matters is the two of them. Right here, right now. Together. Always.
