Yes, about the comparison with Aeryn! That's a really good point. (I just watched Terra Firma the other night, then had to watch the end of Twice Shy, too. D'awwwww.)
And I just adored that it came back, in the end, to the fundamental equation between Lee and Kara--that no matter what they've been through, including her own death and resurrection, they are there for each other in the same way.
YES. Exactly. That's always been how I've seen them, fundamentally--that they get each other, that despite the anger and hurt in their past, there are times (increasingly more often) when it really is just incredibly simple and easy between them, when they bring each other true--and so it makes me really happy to see those moments. Particularly since basically everything else is unrelenting pain and angst. Heh. I loved seeing Kara smile like that. It's been a while.
Re: Laura: yes. I can completely see what people are objecting to about that scene, and I definitely went "bzuh?" at the idea of her never having felt at home until she was with Bill. But I'm also a sucker for physical structures/living spaces as metaphor (I realize as it keeps coming up over and over again in my own fics), so that, combined with the idea of home being more about people than about place (which is really an echo of what Tigh said earlier, that his family is the crew of the Galactica)... it worked really well for me on that level.
