Ahh, you're a classic Kara fan, alright! :) Kara fans always say they saw her vulnerability straight up. I saw Lee's strength, where others saw a petulant stuck-up brat (I think?). So fascinating!
I can't say I've really thought Kara's problem was immaturity so much as just being incredibly frakked up Hmm. I think they can be two parts of one coin? I mean I look at Kara's relationships and think 'really immature', but I also realise that her behaviour patterns stem from being frakked-up. Same with Lee--when he and Adama fight it looks immature, for sure, but it also stems from their frakked up family history.
I think her "special destiny" has really taken over all her storylines and not knowing who or what she is has made it hard to see where she is emotionally. Again I fault the writing in 4.0 Gah, yes, totally! I have never felt so disconnected from either Lee OR Kara and I think the writing made it really hard to know where either of them were at. They were mainly being used to advance the plot, very few no interesting character moments at all. I hope the writers get it together. Gah.
