I honestly forget about Dee after Sacrifice. Is that bad? hee. Actually gutting Dee is more annoying to me than Sam. They should kept her with Billy and given his enough story that he wanted to stay instead of adding Sam. Hey, there's a plan. :D
And Sam proved that the tag-a-long partner is not disliking the token girlfriend. I dislike the underdeveloped male version just as much. Give me a real character or move on. *waves hand dismissively*
lets us wax poetic about our favorites, but denies us the ability to share with equal honesty why we dislike a character.
Without taking into consideration that someone waxing poetic about a character that drives you up a wall can be just as off putting, if not more when you're kind of not 'allowed' to disagree.
And part of my issue is that I usually know why my favorite characters are dislikable so it's not news to me. Sometimes people act like disliking a character they love or really identify with is a personal insult. It's a frakking character. Just don't be mean.
I have a theory about why Katee preferred Sam to Lee that has a lot to do with how she has crafted her career since BSG. Being half of the young, romantic ship puts her in a league of actresses that wasn't where she wanted to be as an actress. I actually, honestly, respects that.
I also think Katee would have done the hard sell with who ever Kara ended up with. If you read through interviews, esp from S4, Kara's OTP changed a lot for her. ;) So I totally live in a place where Kara and Lee end up together in another life where they've dealt with their issues.
