When I watch the mini now, I think it's obvious how much Katee and Jamie really grew in the roles.
Completely agree. That's something I was commenting with my hub while we were rewatching the mini. And I think they really grew as actors, especially Jamie, imo. I love Katee from the very beginning but had more problems with Jamie (I saw some affectation in his performance... especially when he had to play Lee's emo side ;)). Besides, I found it interesting that Katee chose to play Kara much more masculine in the mini... Her performance of Kara became much more nuanced later.
I don't think anyone has any doubt about who my favorite was then and remains now.
Kara is and always be WONDERFUL. My first and last girl crush <3333
I didn't warm up to Lee for a very long time, as I thought Jamie Bamber was really not a very good actor and thought he was probably too much of a pretty boy for my liking at first.
I think Jamie is a good actor, and he delivers in the last seasons, imo. But, as I told you, I did see some overacting in his performance at the beginning... That being said, I enjoyed the pairing so much because Katee and Jamie's chemistry on screen is absolutely electric and mesmerazing, imo. It is not only the pretiness factor, they share a sort of connection and spark and physical attraction that fascinates me... Frankly, I have rarely seen such chemistry between two actors on screen.
And yeah, I loved that family vibe too. And I even liked Adama!!! ;) I loved Chief from the very beginning (and I liked Chief/Boomer too. Their story is really really sad, sadder than pilots, I think). And I love the moment when he tells Kara that Lee is dead and how Kara ask for Boomer. There was a connection there.
