bsg meta: random thoughts on Sam and dog tags
May contain spoilers for seasons 1-3.
Mostly, this started because I was wondering if I thought Sam would hit Kara back if she punched him. I'm still undecided on that--for the record, it's not that Sam wouldn't get physical, it's that Sam's approach to confrontation tends to go slightly sideways.
So, anyway, it suddenly occurred to me that, in its own emotionally painful way, Sam handing the dog tag back was like punching Kara. In the gut with a sledgehammer, given her state at the time.
Which brings me to the thought that, while I want to hit Sam for walking away, I'm actually glad he's not perfect. He doesn't always get Kara, and sometimes, he fucks it up as much as she does. (which then leads to wondering about his childhood and past relationships, sadly)
*distracted* Martouf and his pretty blue eyes are on NCIS.
