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?

However, being friendly is not the same as being friends. Friendship takes time to build. And even when you have lots of friends, there are few (sometimes only one) you consider your best friends, the ones you really confide in and are able to really open up to. I think Lee was a very private person and, even before the attacks, his closest friends/confidants were not many. (I like to believe Zac would have been one of them and this would have made his death and his feelings for kara even harder to deal with.)

I 100% agree with you. I think Kara and Lee were friends, but not. They were friends through Zak. I like to think that he had friends on the battlestar he was stationed at before coming to the decommissioning and on the colonies. I still don't know if they were close though because Lee is so guarded in all his personal relationships.

I liked your post a lot! Lots of interesting thinky thoughts.
