HA! Finally done with my own pesky meta and now I can get back to the good stuff! Love the questions.
1. I can't help but look at things through the lens of the finale to some extent, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Like for example, we know a lot more about Laura's backstory and how much she's lost already, and we know that Kara and Lee definitely have some history (even if we don't care for how it was portrayed). It enriches the viewing experience for me (but then again, I also disregard the last hour of the finale for the sake of my sanity. ; P)
2. Not really. It always felt complicated and messy (and compelling as hell.)
3. Eh, I think the DB flashbacks were badly handled, and I still prefer to stick with the premini canon in my head, but if nothing else, I'm kind of glad in a weird way that their backstory was important enough to pay attention to-- even if I ultimately felt that the treatment it got was quite subpar.
4. I loved them both. Truly I did, from that very first moment, although I think as time passed, I grew closer to Lee for some reason. I'm definitely a Lee girl, but I love both my kids-- make no mistake. : )
