no_takebacksHi everyone! Firstly, I'm sorry I've been a bit quiet on the commenting front over the past couple of days. It's harder for me to get online at weekends. *eyes nosy boyfriend* I will hopefully catch up with comments later today!
The answers to Friday's 'guess the episode' quiz have been edited into the post, in case you'd like to check them out.
Okay, your final prompt for the week is:
unfinished business
As always, feel free to post anything you like in response, as long as it's to do with Kara and Lee. :)
My final question for you all is: what do you feel are Kara's and Lee's best and worst traits, and how do these traits affect their relationship?
For me, in both cases their worst traits can also be their best, depending on the situation. Kara is so unforgiving (for example, of Gaeta in season 3), but I feel this is because she gives so much of herself in any situation, and she can't understand why others don't do the same. She treats herself just as harshly as she treats others ("Because I'm a frak-up, Lee", she says early on in the show). Similarly, Lee can be ridiculously stubborn, but the points he tends to be stubborn about are those that his sense of honour requires him to uphold.
I think what I love about their relationship in the final two seasons (and there is much I don't love) is the way both Kara and Lee confront the worst about each other and end up in complete acceptance. Kara, in a way, is willing to encourage Lee in his desire to be honourable even when he himself isn't really sure where he's heading. And Lee's unconditional support for Kara in those later seasons just makes me swoon.
Thoughts?

This also makes sense to me. It is not that he didn't love her, but he repressed it so well. And in season 2, when he started to kind of surrender to those feelings and to recognize them for what they were, he was no longer safe, and she started to run. She knew she loved him all along, but the possibility that the feeling might be returned, that would make things complicated and she was so used to not having what she wanted, she was comfortable in that place. I never thought of it this way. I like it. But it makes so sad all over again. :(
