A Professional Opinion

Deleted Scene from Six Degrees of Separation
Cally and Tigh are in the hangar bay trying to figure out how to operate the raider, with Tyrol inside. Partway through the conversation, Lee arrives.
Tigh: "Sack shaped like a dog. Can you make head or tail out of this report of hers, Chief?"
Tyrol: "OK. This would be he power. Yes. Navigation, OK. So... Cally! I think I'm ready to try a full powerup test."
Lee: "Colonel, could I have a word?"
Tigh: "Yeah, sure."
Tyrol spits inside the raider.
Lee: "It's Starbuck. I think she needs some incentive to get back on her feet."
Tigh: "You think ending up in Cottle's dungeon isn't enough incentive for her?"
Lee: "She needs a job. That's how Kara works. She needs a problem to solve..."
Cally laughs, as the ship excretes a pile of black goo.
Tigh: "Well, there's a problem."

 

 

What do you think? Is Lee right? Is the most incisive summary of her personality uttered on the show or is something else more true?  Is Kara a problem solver? Does she change as the series goes on or is this a trait she retains?

 

Personally, I have to admit that one of my favorite flavors of Kara is Kara-with-a-purpose or Kara-on-a-mission. The Oath especially showcases this side of her. <3
