Yeah, I'm pretty bummed about the fact that Kara and Lee aren't talking to each other (maybe that scene in the brig really WAS goodbye!!)
Two things give me hope though - one is that after "The Captain's Hand" (with a similar scene of "closure" to their relationship) and the awful scene in LYDB (and the FATSUIT!) I figured Kara and Lee were done for good, and yet then we had "Unfinished Business" in store for us and it was so lovey and wonderful. The other is that BSG does this with the relationships ALL THE TIME. It's like the way that Laura couldn't talk to both Adamas during the same period so as soon as "Home" was over, she hardly ever spoke to Lee - right now they're focusing on the Laura/Adama relationship and they can't, seemingly, juggle two balls at once, but that doesn't mean Kara/Lee is over for good (or even until the final episode.) It's often quite clumsy, but that does seem to be how they do relationship stuff on the show. Plus, maybe the "deleted scenes" between Lee and Kara will form the focus of those TV movies :P (Just as "Razor" explained what changed between Lee and Kara from "The Captain's Hand" to LDYB.)
I agree that there's a sense of time flying by with no real resoluations, but OTOH, most of s3 did that too, and then, kerpow there was all that stuff between "Maelstrom" and "Crossroads." (I'm not HAPPY about the pace of this season, but ... I'm not despairing either!)
And I love Lee far too much to ever, ever stop watching the show before it ends.
(I do highly recommend the rewatch, though - actually, it was YOUR vid "Middleman" - my #1 favorite ever! - that got me all interested in rewatching, because I found myself unable to remember the context of a number of the scenes you used in the vid :P)
