That's sort of my biggest problem with Anders, and with Dee, as the story went on. They were attachments to their spouses, not characters of their own. To me, Sam was a guy Kara frakked. I never saw the great-love-of-her-life or frankly, the-great-love-of-his-life, the emotional connection between them, in their relationship, even when Katee was trying so hard to shove it down our throats at the end of season four.
Dee was a great character in the beginning, and she had moments, but mostly, once they had her start chasing Lee and competing with Kara, she was just an obstacle.
I think there's being nice and being able to be adults and have a lively debate with point and counterpoint. The fandom version of "nice" that's enforced a lot of places lets us wax poetic about our favorites, but denies us the ability to share with equal honesty why we dislike a character. Disliking someone else's favorite character should not hurt someone's feelings, for frak's sake. I mean, if someone doesn't like Kara, I might wonder if they're a little tetched in the head, but I can still respect their opinion, Right?
I can respect that Katee Sackhoff saw something in Kara's relationship with Sam that I just didn't get, and I can live in my own little world where Kara's clearly meant to be with Lee. I still adore Katee.
