Idol Hands

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

shah_of_blah brought up Kara's statues as a possible discussion topic over here in our questions thread: 

Personally, I love that she prays to Artemis and Aphrodite but I'm curious about what other people think. I remember the first time we saw those idols, I thought that Artemis was an obvious choice but Aphrodite less so--Athena would have been an easier option given that Kara's a soldier and all that. Which is not to say that I think it should have been Athena--just the opposite! I think it's really interesting that Kara who has such a difficult relationship with love prays to Aphrodite.

What do you think?

I agree with this. Aphrodite is a bit surprising, though I do like the idea that it speaks to who she is inside, wanting to be loved. I wonder if the writers came up with an idea of who gave her the idols or if she picked them out for herself.
