Honestly I'm kind of neutral with the manpain thing. I tend to agree it's more of a "heropain" whether the hero is a man or a woman, they just happen to be men more I guess? Eh I dunno. The only time it gets ridiculous is when...it gets ridiculous (see again: Adama, white paint) ;)
Well regardless of whether you like Daisy or not, I'm just talking about the format. Often a scene would start or end with Lee contemplating/observing Kara, which is why it sometimes seem to be framed in his POV to me. Not always, but...often and more so as we got later in the show.
I don't think she necessarily had to do physical feats of bravery, but it was sad to me that her big destiny hinged on circumstance and coincidence really. Even when it was ostensibly about/fueled by her (only Kara knew the song) it wasn't really connected and fleshed out in a satisfying way (why the hell did Kara/Kara's NON-CYLON dad know a cylon song by a musical artist from 2 bazillion years in the future, etc. etc.) I mean really couldn't anyone have remembered the song if we weren't going to actually tie the song to cylonosity in any logical way? I wish they would have done a better, tighter job with figuring out what Kara's epicness should have entailed.
