Yeah, I have no problem imagining Kara longing for a stable family life either. In fact I admire her for pushing so hard to overcome her scarring past. To me, it shows her typical strong determined nature.
I love your reading of the Anders relationship--I agree that he seems to accept her no matter what. And while that might seem wonderfully idyllic, it doesn't allow her to grow as a person, and Kara will end up frustrated with that if she doesn't find it outside of her relationship either. Stuck on the planet without her piloting and with no one challenging her, I think she'd be pretty unfulfilled.
With the Cylon attack, it seems like both Lee and Kara will discover that while they might hate the war, it does bring out the best in them. And I hope they find a way back together--I'm shameless in my continued shipping of those two! Regardless I want a continued friendship between them, since they challenge each other. I love their fights, I love the way they are magnetised by each other even when they'd rather not be, I love the inescapability of them.
I agree that suddenly Gaeta is thrust into an important role, and I notice the Gaeta as Cylon theory is very popular, though I hadn't made that leap myself. I do think he's a strong contender as a Cylon. Dee's the other one I think may be a Cylon, but perhaps that's just wishful thinking on my part to make her more interesting...
