Chemistry with Dr. Feelgood?



So, in Ron Moore's original show bible for BSG, which seems to have been "re-discovered" recently and talked about quite a bit, he posited an idea that Kara and Baltar would be a bit more serious, long-term couple on the show. Seems hard to even imagine that knowing how it played out now, but early on, the two shared a few charged moments like this one from "Water".

What do you think Kara really felt about Baltar? How much attraction do you think she actually had for him? What are the qualities that you think appealed to her about him?

Heeee. Not surprised that was in the bible, you can definitely see where they were flirting with it in season one.

I like what [livejournal.com profile] mserrada said about the quirky factor. I think she was slightly entertained by his unusual-ness for a little while and it was a different energy than typical guys hitting on her or the other way around. I don't think she was strongly attracted to him except in fleeting yeah-I-can-see-it moments; it would always veer toward repulsion the more time she spent around him. I think by the time they slept together it was already something she'd regret... not necessarily self-destructive, but a bad drunk/horny judgment.
