no_takebacksEven though we are all pilot shippers, everyone naturally gravitates to one of the pair over the other. Sometimes the bias is obvious, and sometimes it is subtle, but we all have one. Thus, when issues between Kara and Lee arise, we're more likely to interpret the actions through the lens of whose 'team' we are on.
Take this infamous scene:
Who is more to blame here? Is it Lee for demanding too much, too fast? Or is it Kara for being incredibly cruel?
What's that you say? They're both at fault? How observant you are! It does take two to tango and almost every pilot confrontation involves some degree of fault on both sides. For today thought, let's just ignore that logical and mature reasoning because the pilots we love certainly do.
So go ahead. Be petty. Pick sides.
Lee wants to know why Kara slept with Baltar.
Kara wants to know why Lee is making it such a big deal.
Kara insists she just wants a good lay to get over her 'dead' guy.
Lee insists her real problem is that she can't get over the living ones.
Kara won't divorce.
Lee won't cheat.
Kara wants to know if Lee will still leave Dee if she leaves Sam.
Lee wants to know how he can be assured that Kara won't back out again.

Date: 2010-06-07 11:34 pm (UTC)I am with Lee in UB (even though I completely sympathize with Kara and I felt really sorry for both).
KLG. With Kara without any shadow of doubt (although I love how Lee loses all his restraint and control because he is terribly jealous and he cares so much for her --I know it's really twisted but I am a huge fan of their dysfunctionality at this stage of their relationship).
I am with Lee on "Scar", but mainly because Kara wants sex for the sake of her self-destructiveness, and he calls her out on her shit.
EoJ. Both. I always found their motivations kind of surreal (and here I blame the writers, really).
TAB. I dunno, I totally get why Lee rejected her but... Kara was telling him she wanted to be with him! That was huge. He should have said yes. Sniff.
