Well, I feel that they've reimagined the characters throughout the back half of Season 2, to the point where a good deal of Laura's decision-making confuses me utterly; and I'll just point to the fact that Laura and Adama were willing to murder Cain without a second thought, yet they're horrified by ballot-stuffing? WHAT?
Lee and Kara's relationship and rift, yeah making out in front of him was bad but not intentionally cruel on her part.
Asking Lee if he was still frakking Dualla and telling him to find a girlfriend WAS cruel, IMO, even if it was done unintentionally (and Kara is often unintentionally cruel - at what point does she have to stop being that way.)
Yes, Lee can bear a grudge, but come on, he forgave Starbuck for passing Zak in flight school; he forgave her for shooting him; he forgave her for trying to use him to forget about Anders - since "Scar", I've seen nothing in his behavior to her that warrants her being cruel to HIM. He's been a damn good friend to her (something that seemed to matter to her a great deal not very long before she comes back with Anders), and just out of FRIENDSHIP I think she should have not been so nasty about Dee. She doesn't want Lee so why does she care who he sleeps with? Why bring it up at all?
As for the time-jump, I thought it was a total copout, which will necessitate either never telling us anything about how they got to where they were or more of the flashback narration I found so very irksome in the latter half of this season.
Your mileage obviously varies; I'm glad the finale worked so well for you, but it didn't for me.
