I agree that it was somewhat refreshing to see Lee/Dee have a non-Kara related conflict. And, yes I also saw the set up coming there, but it was very loosely threaded. That said, it frustrates me that after everything that happened with Lee and Kara, it would be the philosophical issues that broke them up. Maybe it was how it was handled by the writers/editors, but there's something off about how she just dumps him. Cheat on her and it's fine. Have a moral difference and it's divorce? That does not ring true for me. And then much later, the two of them go on a date as if his presidency no longer posed a problem for her. (I will grant that she was influenced by suicidal intent at that time, but I don't want to get into a rant about Dee's suicide RIGHT AFTER A DATE WITH LEE. -okay a little ranty-)
I agree with your assessment that she saw more of Adama/Apollo in Lee than Lee possessed. It seems strange that Lee would not have told her about his disillusionment with the military. They had a lot of time together on Pegasus - what the heck did they talk about? LOL!
