Sal and Kara...
As I rewatched their moments...the theme of the light and dark, dance in my mind.
Sal--with the loss, betrayal of his wife. His world is shattered, there is no on left he go to(no family known). His hidie hole, the bottle. His shield, his bitterness on how everything has went. Honestly, I remembered one time, when he was like this, he said to Adama, "It was better that he was never called upon, back into military service" (not the exact quote, just referencing). His flippant behavior on the bridge, towards others, especially Helo and wife. The pilots...anything was fair game to him. To vent his bitterness.
Now with the latest splat with his old and dearest friend, Adama...has he burned all the bridges? Is there any chance of his returning from that dark place, where we should not go?
Will Adama abandon him, knowing full well how Sal is, with his 'falls'. With 5 shows left, it will be interesting to see, what will come.
And now...Kara, carries a baggage of guilt, a parasec wide, in my opinion. From Zack's death, the relations with Lee, and her current and now former husband. No need to get inwrap with all her history. Let's deal, with her possible return, of being a human being, and not being a slug, crawling through sewage.
The Mind Frak done to her, did its job, but no completely, but heck, the Cylons know, she is the all around top notch in your face fighter. Great at many things, physical, but not on the mental. They found her chink in the armor, and exploited it. Wounded badly, she swirls with all the fury of pain and frustation at a attack, she cannot defend or fight back against. And she loves doing that part alone (the fighting part). Now...after the 'talk' with her 'dad'.
Has she come to the realization, that now, she has a exposed crack, in her suppose to be, invulnerable armor. And it is a wound, that now will never close. And she now, seeking support to 'protect' that spot, from little "Casey"
Was it the job of the act, to show that she is not fully shielded, as once though.
Or, as said before, was the Cylon way of cracking the resolve of the one best fighters in the survivor fleet.
Yeah, there is more questions, and not enough answers, yet.
But given to the fact, that Kara has sought out, 'help', on her own. Shows, she is beginning understand her 'frailties'.
As for Sal, he has known his, for quiet some time, and it didn't bother him, cause, there was someone personally, to share it with. Now that person is gone.
And they(his frailties) are smothering him...slowly, Will he find the strength, to rise...or just let himself, keep on sinking.
One was forced to finally recognized their's.
The other's are beginning to suffocate, from the years of waiting in the wings.
Frakkin' frak, is all I have to say.
