I'm not wearing my hair long for you anymore
Mostly, I thought that Daddy Adama was unnecessarily cruel to Starbuck, despite the fact that it appears to have been the kick in the pants she needed to pull herself together. Obviously, she'd already shut out Anders, and I'm fairly certain he was being nice and understanding and caring to her and she told him she wanted to claw his fucking eyes out.
But I sort of want Kat and Lee and Daddy Adama to sit down with Kara and ask, "Hey, Starbuck, what the frak really happened down there?" and for Kara to finally say, "That frakking psycho Leoben made me dinner every frakking night." And I want to see their eyes get shifty as she says, "And every time I killed him, he came right back a few hours later. I was looking at his dead body with a dinner fork sticking out of his neck and blood all over my dinner napkin and there he was, coming back down the stairs to our frakked up apartment, saying my name like he loved me."
And I want to see Lee try to look righteous then, and for Kat to still try to give Starbuck attitude, and then for Kara to tell them, "And that bastard made me think I had a daughter. With him. And I thought she was a thing, but she was just a little girl, and when she got hurt, it was my fault and so I did whatever I had to do to take her with me when you came for us. I still feel like he has his hands on the sides of my face and he's leaning in to kiss me and every time I breathe in, its his breath. And you know what? Kacey wasn't even mine. It was just another one of his games, because I had barely stepped back onto Galactica and her real mother came and took her away from me."
And then I'd like Adama to look her in the eye and tell her she used to be like a daughter to him but not anymore.
