OK, someone needed to tell me it was Lee Adama week! Maybe I'll post some rewatch thoughts tonight. I'd at least be contributing something.

Leadership qualities. I maintain Lee demonstrated leadership qualities from the start--but I also like that he developed them and he grew more confident in this role over time.

Lee wouldn't have been a Captain at such a relatively young age if he hadn't shown leadership ability. And it's clear from the mini series that, put in a high pressure situation, he can make the tough decisions in a very limited amount of time. Laura may have had to give the order, but Lee was the one that argued they had to leave behind the ships without FTL drives when the Cylons discovered their position.

Lee didn't see the leadership ability in himself early on and it wasn't until he became commander of Pegasus that he started really believing in himself. Stepping down as CAG and becoming a civilian leader as part of the Quorum was an easy decision for him because he now believed in himself and what he could do. And look at how easily he accepted the presidency? Lee has so much more confidence now.

It just occurred to me I could probably do a whole essay on this subject. ;p

2. Lee/Laura. I still can't see what Laura sees in Bill.

Well, I think you know I would make this #1 but, yeah, Bill over Lee? Pfft!

And 'lady's in charge' is probably my favourite line from the mini--the fact that Lee accepted Laura so fast in that role made him infinitely great in my eyes.

I didn't become a Lee fangirl until 'Bastille Day', but the "Lady's in charge" line I found awesome because I really didn't expect the writers to have anyone, let alone the flyboy, accept Laura that quickly. In a show filled with drama, there was no drama in that moment.

You don't have dionusia friended? There was I assuming you did... should never assume these things! Oops.

*nods* I agree that that's more of the issue--Lee never lacked leadership ability but he did lack confidence in himself, which I think is preferable to too much ego in one a young man... and he grew into that confidence.

Hee. No. It made me fangirl Lee, but it also made me like Laura because somehow I'd already hooked into Lee and I figured if he he backed her then I should too. ;)
