A lot of fanfiction has Kara A) refusing medication because she thinks she's fine or she doesn't need it, and B) breaking out of sickbay before she should. Yet both of these traits seem to be directly contradicted by her behavior in "Six Degrees of Separation," in which she asks for more pain pills and refuses to get out of bed. Do you think fanon and canon can be reconciled? If not, which characterization do you subscribe to? Do you think she might be more likely to make a break for it after the events of "The Farm"?

Perspective, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Kara Thrace is a pretty complex individual, and she's not much of a talker. Her motivations in BSG are often left up to the viewer to interpret as they wish because she doesn't rationalize, explain or apologize very often. Which of the latter personality traits do you ascribe, MOST OF THE TIME, to Kara? (I think a fairly good argument can be made for her having both traits at various times, as most people do, but if you were going to choose one or the other, which side does she fall more heavily to?) Explain why so we can discuss!

1) Optimist or pessimist?
2) Self-confident or self-loathing?
3) Extrovert or introvert?
4) Are her flaws personal or professional?
