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?

Date: 2010-08-02 03:45 am (UTC)Anyway, season 3 is my least favorite as well.
I'd say my favorite one is season 2. I love everything about: the mutiny arc, the Pegasus arc, Scar, of course... I also like season 1 a lot.
But I'm kind of torn about season 4. I love every single L/K interaction there. And of course, the mutiny arc again (I never though mutinies could be so entertaining hee), and the alliance with the rebel cylons. But at the same time, I feel it was in this season that the show lost its way by becoming all mystical. *sighs*
(Of course all would have been forgiven if they had managed to get Lee and Kara a more acceptable end).
