So what's your verdict on the almost-sex? Does Kara care about Lee at all? Is it flippant (hey-why-not, oh-damn-he-actually-has-feelings-for-me) or is it more bleak and self-destructive (don't-think-too-much-about-this/this-is-all-I-can-ever-expect-and-so-just-make-do)? The fantasising about Anders was pretty damning. It seems that my soul is still colonised by Kara/Lee, because I had amazingly plotted dreams about them while on holiday!
Is it cheating if I say both? I mean, I think *in that moment* it was making do, but I also think she has strong feelings for Lee--they're just buried under her guilt about Anders. And I do think it is more guilt than actual love--I was never very convinced by that relationship, when it was happening, but I can see how she feels she betrayed him by leaving him behind and not returning as she promised.
I'm not surprised that the sentiment of the fandom was against Kat, because Kara is the popular character, and I felt bad for her too until it became clear that this was beyond a little slipping, she was really sliding into a situation where things could go *really* wrong.
