She got some and gave him her dog tags. Then she lead a rescue party and got him off Caprica, and got some more. And then some more. And then more again......you get the picture. She fracked Lee, and then went off and married Sam. That's got to say something. :)
*G* Well. Energizer Bunny powers, and all.
Kara's an adrenaline junkie, and what could be more dangerous than sleeping with some person not your husband? This theory also matches the way I see Kara's 'affair' with Lee. Kara's responses to him during Eye of Jupiter sound just like that businessman who has a mistress on the side, and how he's always promising to 'leave his wife', but never quite succeeds in doing so.
Except she was upfront about not leaving Sam. :D But yeah.It also meshes with the extended version of Unfinished Business. "This is insane, you know?" "That's just the way I like it" sounds a lot like "I'm going to upset your tidy little apple-cart," "maybe I want it upset." So, from that angle, I can buy into Kara as an adrenaline junkie who, every once in a while, gets scared of the intimacy of marriage and sleeps around. The problem is that that doesn't really mesh with the Kara who was engaged to Zak and who we've still never seen sleep with anybody when it didn't have emotional significance. But I can see it if I squint. I think it cheapens her affair with Lee more than it does her relationship with Sam.
And, despite what Chevy thinks, if Kara had turned out to be the collaborator, Sam might have pulled the trigger himself. He would have regretted it and hated himself for the rest of his life, but at that moment, he was so angry and upset, he might have done it (and anyone else? Yeah. Toast).
I don't know. At the time I would have said yes, but then I also thought that if Sam weren't a Cylon, he would have been all for airlocking Kara when she came back from the dead, but after seeing this season, and how much he's centered around his love for her? I'm not so sure. (I think a lot of that may be that the writer's hadn't decided who Sam was, fully, until after Collabs when they knew they were keeping him. But it also works as actual character development.
I should like to point out that every time Lee's put Kara's life on the line was in a combat situation.
True. The only time it bothered me was in Razor, because the writing really didn't justify his decision, and Ron admitted that. But that's a problem with the plotting and not, I don't think, a message that Lee is angling to kill off Daddy's favorite son. ;)
Of course, Sam doesn't want to marry Ellen. I don't think. Saul might object to that. A lot. (the scary thing is, Saul and Sam and Ellen and Kara have a lot in common, and one day I will so write the fic where they all realize it and outlaw drinking together ever again)
I was just having a similar conversation with queenofthorns about that here. (http://queenofthorns.livejournal.com/396416.html?vstyle=mine) But I actually think it's more like Kara = Saul (and that's why they hated each other so much for so long) and Sam = Ellen. Not seasons 1-2 Ellen, and not in the sleeping around sense, but in the willingness to sell himself out for the person he loves. And Kara, I think, would die for Sam, but I can't imagine her collaborating like Ellen did. Just the thought that she might have meant it a little bit when she told Leoben she loved him - just to get Kacey out, not giving away anyone's position - was enough to send her on a crazy downward spiral. Sam, at that point, obviously wouldn't either - I'm sure there were some D'Anna's who'd have been willing to sleep with him and extract info to help Kara *g* - but now, with her as his tie to humanity? Maybe. Hmm.
