daybreak777 is allowed to laugh at this next statement--I might have a slight tendency to be blind to Leoben's worst faults. Just maybe. *g

Ragnar!Leoben scared me deeply and was most instrumental in convincing me that the cylons were dangerous, even though they'd won by that point.
Oh, definitely. I thought he was terrifying. I wonder if they always had it in mind to make him such a manipulator, because we didn't see that side of him in the mini-series.
It's some of the later incarnations that really confuse me and I've put that down as a problem with the writing, not the character as originally created. Now I just might get why...
Good luck with that! *g*
I don't think I've ever mentioned this in a post before, but I was very surprised at the season three incarnation of Leoben. I really didn't expect to see him in the role of "wooer" (for lack of a better word); I did see the chemistry between his character and Kara in F&B, but I didn't expect the show to run with it in that particular direction. I did think it was watchable (which seems contrary to your own opinion, but we all have our preferences), but not what I would have predicted.
I really do get why people don't like the season three Kara-Leoben storyline. Even I have qualms with it, in spite of my fascination.
I spent a lot of time during 'Maelstrom' just trying to keep track of that. (It kind of helps that you seem to be if not confused then maybe conflicted about some things *s*)
Yes, definitely conflicted. "Death" of a favorite character, a dream-Leoben, a possibly angelic-not-Leoben appearance... I hope the writers have some plan in mind for dealing with these head!entities; I'd like some resolution about them.
As for season four, I haven't heard anything that would indicate no Leoben, so the question is, which Leoben will we get? A popular idea in fandom is that it's just one Leoben who's obsessed with Kara; we could see him, or a non-Kara-obessed Leoben, or head!Leoben... At this point I couldn't even make a guess.
