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?

What a great topic!

Now that I'm thinking about it, it really is true that Lee had no other friends on Galactica besides Kara. Kinda sad! One of the main reasons for that is that he was only visiting when the war started and secondly, I think people saw him as the Commander's son rather than a co-worker. Kara was the only one he knew from before. I think given time he might have been good friends with a few people like he did with Helo and Chief. But that really didn't happen till the whole thing with Kara fell apart.

I think Lee would have risked his friendship with Kara for his love for her, eventually he did. One of their biggest hurdle was Zak early on and later themselves. Sometimes I think Lee didn't even trust his own feelings for Kara or may be he didn't know what it was to tell her.
