I just can't imagine anyone else playing Starbuck at all. But based on the series bible I picture someone more like Michele Forbes in the role. Forbes is fantastic, but I think Katee's youth/exuberance did so much to balance out the harder aspects of Kara, that I can't imagine anyone else's portrayal being so captivating.
Hmmm. Come to think of it, I've only written about Kara's tattoos through Lee's eyes/POV previously...
Ooh, do you have links for the previous tattoo fics you're written? Would love to read if they're handy. Also, do you have a favorite of her tattoos?
One thing I'm curious about is how anyone in the BSG-verse who wasn't a prisoner was able to get a safe tattoo after the worlds ended. It doesn't seem likely that there was a tattoo artist just hanging out on one of the civilian ships, all of their equipment at the ready for newlywed pilots, say...
There is just no way in the world anyone but Katee could have played Kara. I'm so glad the casting directors didn't throw her out for being too young, and that she fell in love with the part in the first place!
Kara is a positive minefield of a character who could have come off as all asshole and no lovable in the hands of the wrong actress (i.e. anyone but Katee), but Katee just brought a spark and a presence to it that I cannot ever imagine any other actress - including ones I love and admire gratly - replicating.
