Hey! He could never be Lee and he got his screen time - somethings I always find hard to forgive.

And in terms of his relationship with Kara, well, it's a whole different story. He's way too selfish and simply doesn't understand her (even on the intuitive level) most of the times. Suffice it to remember her comeback from the Cylon dollhouse and Anders' demands to be with him ASAP as well as his advice to "deal with" Ellen and then his backing down from the circle of death and accusing Kara of looking for scapegoats whereas that was exactly what he'd been doing just a few minutes earlier. I could never stand that kind of hypocrisy and double standards.
