[discussion] kara in a dress
Look, to those of you who are still spoiler free, the subject line of this post is not a spoiler. I'm sure, by now, you've seen her wearing a dress in someone's icon. However, the rest of this spec may get spoilery, so please proceed to under the cut.
Let's talk about The Dress.
1. Where did Kara get it from? She doesn't strike me as the sort of soldier to keep a dress in her locker. If she's going to an official celebration, she's more likely to wear her dress uniform. So, random officer? Cashing in a favour with a civilian? If the latter, then when would she have had a chance to make contact (real contact) with a civilian, and bring the conversation around to a dress in her size that flatters her?
2. WHY is she wearing a dress? I feel like Kara would have worn her dress uniform to her own wedding. If we ever see her imagining herself in a flowing white wedding gown, there will be some mighty fist shaking. My personal pet theory, is that she is wearing the dress (however she came across it) in order to make Lee notice. Which of course, does not gel with the notion that she is a bit fucked up, and therefore sees big DO NOT TOUCH signs pointing to Lee.
3. Could she be the sort of loud, boisterous tomboy kind of girl who occasionally likes to dress up and remember that she's pretty? I only mention this because it is possible. That was me, at one point.
4. On a ship that I believe is really, really gender equal, that doesn't just pay lip service but actually is, why is it that the men are still in uniform but the women are in dresses? I refuse to believe they had that many dresses that fit that well and were that pretty left on the Battlestar Galactica. Yes, they could have scrounged them out of the fleet, but I find that highly unlikely.
5. Unless all survivors had to hand their clothes over to some central depot, in order to redistribute/ration. Because surely some people had entire wardrobes whilst others had the clothes on their backs; there will be rationing, and I bet some people are losing weight (especially those on the Galactica).

2. I do not remember LEe telling her that she needs to wash her jacket. REWATCH.
He already thinks she's hot, no matter what she's wearing.
Especially when she's naked. (I'm sorry, I'm obviously male and adolescent)
3. I don't mean to imply that she's conflicted. It could just be one of those things she likes doing every now and then. You know, it makes her special - she can be tough and pretty. Or something.
5. I thought you would be. It's your sort of thing, along with the tampons and toilet paper. :o)

It's actually like a little orgy there, isn't it? Between the Lee in Starbuck's head, and the Six in Baltar's head ... So we've got Six watching Baltar have sex with Starbuck who's imagining it's Lee instead. (::attempts to plot on a chart::)

Um, that thought doesn't really go anywhere. I'm just saying.

Yeah, she looks like she's about to cry - it's fascinating that they want the same emotions as humans or want to be able to experience them ...
