Ah yes, the scene that made me damn Adama to hell.

Kara was PTSDing like mad. So was Tigh. But he gets forgiven and Kara gets kicked out of her chair and called a cancer. With NO follow up. Was Maelstrom really the next personal interaction they had?

The "insurrection" or whatever it was didn't really make sense or work. At least Ron admitted that. What was the point? They were traumatized by New Caprica and would...get other pilots to be upset over past events? That's not a rebellion.

Someone mentioned below the brief moment when they pass each other in The Passage and I remembered reading recently in the podcast transcript that there was supposed to be a scene between Kara and Adama, and it seems it's all smoothed over from what RDM says:

There were other scenes, also in this episode. In the earlier, the much earlier, scene in the ready room, when Lee and Kara are briefing the pilots and they're telling them about taking the stims, Kat objects to taking the stims, and rather violently, and after that scene we learn that Kat had gone to Adama with her concern about it. And then Kara was talking to Adama about Kat saying, "She's out of control. She's a problem. We gotta do somethin' about her." And Adama then would bring up the- brought up the point about the stims and- he thinks that she's right about that. And Kara was taken aback. (Coughs.) Sorry. Kara was taken aback, and didn't know what to make of it. (Sniffle.)

Ultimately, that went away because I thought- I think one of the problems was it made Kat look petty that she went around Kara and Lee to talk to Adama and I wasn't sure why- that Kat had done anything- had done enough in the scene in the ready room to justify Kara then going and whining to Adama. So it felt like too many characters going to daddy and whining about the other and so it all went away and I felt like it was enough- that we would just accept Adama's connection to her. She talks about it and then the end of the show of course is very powerful about how he feels about her, and so on.

Sounds like things would've been considered all mended if Kara was going to him and complaining about Kat, but I agree it would have been nice to SEE that. I feel like that's the kind of scene we would have gotten in S1 for sure and maybe even S2, but that they'd forgotten about by S3. :(
