Woman I'd take into a fight: Kara Thrace

[rose_griffes]

Here is what I know about people in my corner of fandom: they never get tired of posts about Kara Thrace. Especially if there are pictures. Coincidentally, right now I'm doing a 'favorite fictional female character' meme on my LJ, so this all works together quite nicely.

Ahh, Kara... I had a strange love-hate relationship with her during the series [especially 3rd season -- the long hair screwed with her mind, man!], but she was certainly a fascinating woman to watch...

Never heard that theory before ;)

It's a personal theory, and I haven't much talked about it. I really should go back and rewatch the entire run and see if my theory really does hold any kind of water.

But the minute they hit New Caprica and she started growing out her hair [and getting mindfrakked by Leoben, in spades], she went all batshit crazy, but when she died and came back as whatever kind of special snowflake she was, it kind of leveled out a bit.

Huh, there was a direct correlation between cutting her hair and less craziness... and then the quadrangle of doom happened, so I'm afraid your theory doesn't work anymore! Heh.

Quadrangle of doom? You mean Dee/Lee/Kara/Sam? Yeah, that was messed up, but I don't know that it necessarily negates the theory. I'd have to go back and rewatch the series to see if my theory still holds water or not...

I think I put most of the blame of the Quadrangle of Doom on Lee. But even if you buy the hair theory, she needs to recover from the crazyness.
