I agree with almost everything frolicndetour said, but frankly I never understood the necessity to kill her off in the first place, even though Maelstrom itself is an episode I like. It's like, she can't have epicness without being dead first?
As for S4, I'd be more surprised if she hadn't been freaked out after knowing she's dead. But like you, I just wish they'd found a better way to frame her story instead of going "oh, she had to die after fixing her mommy issues, and then after she's dead fix her daddy issues before she remembered the Bob Dylan song that takes them all to Earth.". I mean, I love Daybreak, Part 2 while I'm watching it because as an emotional experience and an ending to BSG it's nearly perfect for me, but after I turn it off and spend a few days thinking about it, there is major RAGE at the rest of the season for being so lame with Kara.
As for the pov of Kara being seen through Lee's eyes, I wonder if maybe we feel that way because Lee isn't often presented through Kara's eyes in Lee-centric episodes? I mean, there are scenes like the Daybreak Part 2 flashback where she's prepping to meet him for the first time (and also when Zak smashed that glass) , Unfinished Business (esp. the beginning), Sacrifice (esp. the end) etc that IMO have Lee seen through Kara's eyes, so maybe it's the imbalance that makes you notice the Lee's-PoV thing?
