Ron said on one of the podcasts (Act of Contrition, iirc) that the reason Adama and Kara are so close is because he was very similar to her in his youth. And also that Katee and EJO have a very similar relationship, which is even cooler. The whole "hotshot kid" thing, where right from the beginning Olmos was like "where did you find her??" So cool!
I don't read as much in to Adama lying to his girlfriend, though. When someone is in a situation like that, fighting for their life, it's really important for them to have hope. I think any responsible person in that situation would say "you're going to be fine" or some version thereof. You definitely don't want to tell them that they look horrible, they're probably going to die or at least be horribly disfigured - especially not when they're bleeding all over the place and probably in shock. (Or maybe that was just bad acting. ;)
The actor's doing really well, I think. He's obviously studied EJO's delivery and intonation because his 'battle' voice was uncannily accurate.
Word! I just can't believe how Nicco Cortez manages to remind me of Jamie Bamber and EJO at the same time, when their being related is one of the more credulity-straining aspects of the show! ;)
