It's Time for a...

It seems like we say this a lot around here: "Poor Kara! She  needs a hug!" So I thought we should have a Hug-a-thon this weeekend!
 
Post pretty pictures of her receiving hugs (or giving them!) Talk about your favorite in-canon Kara hugs or maybe that time when she REALLY should have been hugged but wasn't. Or really should've hugged someone but didn't! Draw a picture of Kara hugs! Write a drabble or fic about hugging! There's all kinds of potential reasoning/kinds of hugs she could be giving or receiving: friendship, gratitude, support, comfort, elation, etc.
 

WON'T YOU GIVE THE GIRL A HUG TODAY? :)

No pretty piccies....

*never posts pics cuz pb doesn't like me*

.... but I think that we needed an entire ep of people reacting to Kara's return. We never saw Helo's switch from ???? to {{{{Kara}}}}. Athena would know she's not a cylon, and probably not one of the FF. She could have nudged Kara.

Of course, the lack of a welcome committee only makes Lee's welcoming embrace stand out that much more. And, in contrast to Sam's "I don't everybody you were too mean to kill" joke line .... if he's so broken up (plus his mind is fried from finding out he's a cylon AND a raider just scanned him in the battle) why's he making cruel jokes. Lee's barely able to talk. Plus I love the sound effect of his boots pounding the deck as he runs HARD to get to Kara.

Lee hugs Kara.
I hug Kara.
{{{Kara}}}

Actually there's a deleted scene from 4.0 I think where Athena DOES think or accuse Kara of being a cylon maybe if I recall correctly. Also there are a couple lines in Jacob's recap of this ep (I think) that have kinda stuck with me. I'm on phone or I'd go copy and paste but it' s something abt Lee trying to understand Kara's relationship w/Sam and w/himself. The former he says is "their love was too rough for him to understand" and the latter is "too gentle for him to understand." Which is interesting way to look at it.

Here are the parts I was talking about in the TWOP recap:

Lee is good, he's a good boy. When Sam comes running up, just as excited and just as scared, and throws his arms around his wife, Lee steps to the side. Just far enough not to get caught in the crossfire. Sam and Kara, their love was always a little too rough for Lee, I think. Jock love.

Later...

"Okay, what the hell's going on? I'm off the ship for a few hours and everybody's acting..." When Sam tries to explain it was two months, she spits that her ship's clock still registers six hours and change. Lee speaks softer now, searching for her eyes. Lee and Kara, their love was always just a little too gentle, I think, for Sam to really believe. Maybe for all of us. Certainly for them.

The "Certainly for them" is the part that really resonates with me.

Me too! Although I'm torn with Lee's chivalry v. passivity. Part of me just wants him to declare outright "Mine!" I'm joking, of course, because no one, no one owns Kara. Still, the sound of Lee's boots echoing rarely fails to move me mightily. I feel his loss and his unbelief that the Lords of Kobol would have returned her.
