During the rewatch of LDYB we started speaking about Lee's involvement in the decision to approve the rescue mission to Caprica. We started this after Lee's speech in front of the pilots and during the talk that he had with Kara in his office before she left. So I'm wondering - taking advantage of today's topic - what do you think about this?
Lee's role in the LDYB Caprica rescuewinegumsJuly 16 2012, 16:05:30 UTC
You know what I said :)
But I definitely do think that it's no coincidence that Kara - who pushed hard for this for months before giving up (c. Scar, maybe even c. RS2) suddenly gets approval for her mission within a month of Lee taking command of the Pegasus, especially given his openly expressed support of the plan and Adama and Roslin's stiff resistance before that.
I think part of that can be attributed to Kara making a fresh push for it (what happened between them in Scar, Sacrifice and The Captain's Hand definitely had a role in this), but the fact that it succeeded this time, that definitely smells to me like Lee backing the plan to PapAdama and getting him to agree.
I also forgot the fact that Razor happened during this time (between TCH and LDYB) - I can imagine Kara deciding to put in a fresh push for Mission Caprica after quitting as Lee's CAG.
And I can def. believe that the renewed energy towards rescuing Sam had more than a little to do with the outcome of Razor too, as did Lee's decision to back the plan (out of guilt for nearly ordering her to die?). The problem is that this makes the timeframe so tight, unless we assume that Baltar declared his presidency bid/had the conference a while after Lee packed up to move to Pegasus/reconciled with Kara.
