BSG Characters
A couple of times in recent weeks, I've gotten into discussions about Battlestar Galactica, and specifically whether the show had particularly good or bad characterization. This makes me curious about what people think on the subject, so I shall assuage my curiosity in the tried and true LJ fashion: let's have a poll!
This poll is intended for people who have watched a fair amount of BSG. If you haven't watched at least half a season worth, just skip right over it. Note that there are two distinct questions here; they're related, but please think about them separately. This is strictly focused on the characters -- for purposes of this poll, disregard questions of plot, plausibility of the scenario, and so on. Feel free to add further opinions in comments.

I do and I don't. I do because you would expect her to agonize a little longer, be a little more affected by what's happened to her. But she's the queen of compartmentalization. She's Kara, she's Starbuck, and she's Captain Thrace. Those are three very different personas, they don't coexist easily, and she doesn't seem to know how to be comfortable being any of them. She's so full of rage and self-loathing that they inform every choice she makes. It's why she's so self-destructive, why she sabotaged what she could have had with Lee, and why she strives so hard for redemption, even though she doesn't think she deserves it. When she spat, "You lied your way into the company of good people," at Kat, you could have had Kat deliver that line and it still would have felt true.
