Dee was never the first character to jump out at me, but for the most part with every appearance, Dee kept making me like her more and more. For her weaknesses and strengths.
I think her relationship with Lee showed both. It also showed a woman, who could have been in any setting, who was coming to terms with a harsh reality, trying to do the best she could in a less than perfect situation, cared about others even when they didn't show her the same consideration, and was becoming her own, rather strong, person.
I know Dee may not have fit the mold for a lot in the same way a lot of the women on BSG did, but in a sense she was every woman. One might not be able to relate to every action or emotion she had, but I highly doubt one could say they never felt like or acted in the same manner she did.
She was real; she had her moments of quiet desperation, she had her moments of strength. There were times she took charge, and times she had the nerve to say what no one else would. She gave all she had to just about everything, sometimes neglecting her own best interest. She was flawed, but in her own way she was amazing.
Dee is her own kind of awesome. And this has been brought up before, but on a show with so many complex characters it seems a little close minded for people to say she wasn't a good character just because she's not awesome in the same way as other characters who they may like more. (Which I kind of feel is where some of the anti-Dee feelings come from)
