huh. Slight BSG meta...

Something occured to me while combing my hair... (in regards to Kara, with spoilers from Unfinished Business)

Kara was thinking of mustering out and moving down to New Caprica, all on her own.

If what she said to Lee was true, she wasn't looking forward to being a peacetime pilot, with nothing to kill.

Huh.

"Kara, you want to stay? Okay, you're in charge of babysitting. Sam? He's in charge of ... morale."

I didn't think about it before, but she would TOTALLY think that it was her fault that the cylons found them.

Also, (according to RDM? I can't remember) didn't she join the military because she couldn't do the pyramid thing? So she lost what was important to her and found a substitute. Now, with the military doing little more than, well, babysitting, she lost what she had and found a substitute. (And FWIW, I think the better of the two options presented, especially considering Sam.)

I wi9ll have you know I spent a good five minutes LAUGHING at your subjectline, and then giggling madly about the babysitting.

Sam is totally in charge of morale. Kara's...

And, see, I kinda wonder if Sam would have enjoyed life on ship, too. I somehow don't think so, though I think he would (and will) adapt to the situation.

Excellent.

Yes. Kara's morale.

I think if they'd stayed, he'd have found a way, just because she was there.

Certainly not her morals... *cough*

Sam says it's very important to keep Kara's morale up. Usually with a lot of sex, some light bickering, and tackling her whilst playing pyramid (of course, when they play, it's, ah, foreplay).

He would have, yes. And I think they could have found something for him to do (like all of the CAG's paperwork, so she doesn't airlock it).
