Much rather prefer him with Kara despite how NOT healthy for each other they are, because let's face it, I'm a sick puppy and I enjoy Lee angst just a little too much.

Lee angst is fun. :) Also he and Kara may be unhealthy, but at least they're never boring - they make much better TV!

However, I haven't been all that impressed with what they've been doing to my fave character this season, and especially after that horrific scene of drunk Lee stumbling around in search of his ring, I was all just...no. Sorry, but no.

I hated that scene too, it just seemed completely out of character, even if he was drunk. Then I listened to the podcast for that episode and RDM was saying that Edward Olmos directed that episode and pushed some of the actors into being more "emotional and dramatic" than usual - I think that probably explains both the Lee scene and the equally over-the-top scene with Laura threatening Baltar, which again seemed out of chracter to me.
But things for Lee may improve...RDM also said that Jamie Bamber had a lot of input into what happens to Lee in the rest of the season and judging by the profile he wrote about Lee, he seems to have a good focus on the character.

So basically, this fic was just therapy for me. As far as I'm concerned, the show's never made a very good case for him being with Dee.

Again, I totally agree - in fact this is why I have a problem with them, because I'm just not convinced from what I've seen on screen that either of them really loves the other. So thanks for filling in the gap with your fic. :)
