Playful!Lee

The scene with Kara and Lee and the pyramid ball is one that I think about with great affection. It portrays a lighthearted, teasing Lee and he is just adorable. It shows an aspect to his character that I don't think they every really showed again (well, maybe with the creepy doll, but, well...creepy). I understand that BSG is a dark show, but this

I've also always liked Lee's playful side, and I enjoy the scenes everyone has mentioned very much. There are a few other moments, just small lines rather than whole scenes, where he just dropped in some unexpected bit of humor that made me smile. I like it at the end of A Day in the Life when he walks in and kisses Dee and she says "Your father sent you a package" and he looks at it in mild alarm and says, "Is it ticking?" That little three-second exchange is, bar none, my favorite moment between them as a couple.



And I also like the little moment in the deleted scene from Kobol's Last Gleaming where he goes to visit Sharon in sickbay after she has tried to shoot herself. He is supportive and mildly reproving and CAG-like and says very nice things about her and very stern things about gun safety, but then just when you're thinking how utterly formal and polite and lifeless he is, she says something about how she's not looking forward to having a big visible scar and he comes out with, "Oh, it could have been worse. At least it's just your face." Hee!

And, of course, the lovely: "Not funny, Lee." / "Yeah? Would have been if you'd thought of it" exchange. I love those little moments.
