That, and, really, Kara's just a pilot. She's not a command officer--I'm betting there's something to do with it there, too. And, what. Would they rather have had Dee get all snippy with her and them start arguing a la some trashy romance novel?

Dee talking sense into Kara, I'm kinda iffy on. And it only works because Dee has been the Voice of Reason before. (I'm not fond of ANY character going, "Your life is frakked and this is why." -- er, unless it's a shrunk. And even then....)

I doubt Ron really cares what we think. He's producing High Art, donchaknow. And that JMS never let HIS fans change his mind! Neither did them Farscape peoples... (yeah, that's sarcasm. it's late and I'm on my fourth double-shot of tequila rose)
