A Community Celebrating the Lives and Times of Kara "Starbuck" Thrace

I didn't like this deleted scene when I first saw it, because I couldn't imagine Kara giving in to despair that completely. Then I used it in a fic (http://deborah-judge.livejournal.com/219909.html) and it ended up meaning something totally different: she was never trying to kill herself (she could've stopped the bleeding in time), just to test the limits of her imprisonment and Leoben's power, and she actually won this round by showing him that he could not ultimately keep her imprisoned against her will if she was willing to die to escape. The way Leoben acts after the suicide attempt is the most questioning and uncertain that we ever see him in the NC arc (or ever, really) so that makes me think that this was a moment when she really got through to him.
