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?

I honestly think Lee's best chance at friends were Dee and Sam. Of course, that got infinitely screwed.

But really, I think the storyline could have been much better if Lee and Dee were great friends instead of the writers, in my opinion, making up tension that wasn't there. And Dee is sensible and smart and kind. I think that would have been a better use of her character.

Lee and Sam could have been friends the same way Lee and Helo were some kind of friends. They were both guys fighting for the worlds and they both understood that those worlds revolved around Kara Thrace. Unfortunately for Lee, Helo would always come down on Kara's side, in the end, and of course, the competition with Sam makes friendship kind of hard.

I would have liked to have seen more of a relationship developing with Sam. I think they'd actually have a lot in common, or would have, had Kara not returned from the dead.

Heck yeah. I think that would have been awesome. Sam + Lee - Kara = BFF.

I really would have liked to see Lee have a friendship with Dee. She was a lovely character.
