DPP: Kara vs. Lee

[cynicalshadows.livejournal.com]

Even 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.

I agree about her fears being so ingrained that one night of sex could in no way convince her that she should drop everything she's had with Sam and take the risk. My shipper hearts wants it to happen, but it's too dangerous.

I don't think she needed to go and marry Sam, though. Couldn't she just say, "Hey Lee, let's slow it down, okay?"

Frakking RDM and his shocking shock value stunts. *shakes fist*

:D

Yes, that is why I was so angry with her and totally understand why Lee would feel so hurt then.
On the other hand, it was really weak of him to decide to marry Dee after that. Was it payback or something? Really mature!! I could almost understand him keep dating Dee, but to marry her?!?

Bottom line - they had both to grow up, emotionally speaking, before they could get together for good.
