DPP: Lee Adama Has No Friends

[cynicalshadows.livejournal.com]

Friends can be lovers, and lovers can be friends, but what if the person involved is your only friend? This is a question that has been floating around in my head for a while concerning Lee. Kara has Helo, but Lee seems to have nobody as a friend besides Kara. Could this have contributed to his reluctance to admit his feelings for her? Was Lee just scared to risk his sole friendship for a chance at love? Who else could Lee have befriended and could a confidant have affected his relationship with Kara?

Ooo, very interesting idea. I guess it's true isn't it, Lee didn't really have any friends. He was just visiting Galactica when the war started and people died/became cylons so often that he didn't seem to have a chance to make friends. Not to mention he was their boss. Man, poor Lee.

That said, I don't think their friendship would have been Lee's biggest concern when considering whether or not to go after Kara. I think his biggest hurdle was the whole Zac issue and the guilt of dating his dead brothers ex-fiance.

His second biggest hurdle I'd say would be his general shyness when it comes to dating (this is what I imagine stopped him from making a move on Kara at the end of season 1 dress/dance scene, at least in my own personal cannon).

Personally I found Lee didn't seem to have a much of a resistance to admitting his feeling for Kara besides awkwardness. It always seemed like Kara was the one who was more reluctant.
