I love how Helo is surprised here: "That is definitely not you!"
... this is the quintessence of Kara's complexity.

and how many things come from this scene: the mandala, the father's music.

also, Kara says one of my favorite lines ever, "Kept turning off the power... something about not paying a bill" it's a little one but it says a lot about Kara's attitude toward civil society's rules.

That's true! So many new glimpses/facets of her character in this one tiny scene. One of my favorite things about it is the end when we get to see that she drives a Hummer basically. Ha ha.

When I see this picture I can hear her voice, "You know, I never really liked this place anyway. Air conditioning doesn't work in the summer. Heater doesn't work in the winter. The rent's a crime."

She sounded so tired. I feel like the Galactica was one of the few places that felt like home to her.

I feel the same way, Galactica was her home.
but it's interesting that, if I remember correctly, in the daybreak during the flashbacks, she says that the rent is good. and she seems so quiet, at ease... so probably she started to hate the place after Zak's death.
so maybe the point is that Kara feels at home when there is an Adama around... or at least I like to think that way.

Aw that's really sweet. Heh.

But I think in Daybreak she actually says to Lee when he tries to compliment it that she knows the place is a "rat trap, but the rent is right." Or something like that. So I believe that she never really liked it (although, before, it looked like a nice apartment and not a rat trap at all!)

It's so interesting. I'm not quite sure if the Daybreak flashbacks all match up with what came previously. For example, she tells Lee in Daybreak that she's afraid of being forgotten. That doesn't match up her once telling Lee that one day some metal motherfrakker was just going to blow them away someday. She didn't seem that worried about being forgotten then. It's so . . . unclear. Maybe in Scar she was really worried about being like Reilly's girlfriend, but even in that episode it's so murky and unclear why she's challenging Scar. It seemed like it was about her feeling bad for leaving Sam behind. I admit I really do not know.

In conclusion, I can't always make the stuff from the finale match what came earlier. And I've tried! But I do agree with you that Kara felt at home with certain people. Zak, Helo, Lee, Adama. I think even her teasing with Chief felt like home too. At least it did to me when I watched them.

Now I'm missing them! Missing Chief say "Be nice." Yep. That place did feel like it was home for them in my eyes.

I still get thrills thinking about this scene. It was an exciting, unexpected, profound look into Kara's character. We learned so much about her here-- the art, her father, her love of music. It felt just on the border of invasive, like watching Kara pray. Because she's so secretive, and you know she doesn't tell people about these sides of her. But as viewers, we're privileged to be able to find out. :-D

It is really awesome that we got to see this private side to Kara, a privilege we didn't get with the other main characters hardly at all, or at least until much later in the show. It's so incongruous to even think of Kara having an every day life in some ways...
