and oh no, I wasn't thinking the penance is conscious. If anything it would manifest as "Kara's had enough trouble, so I'll give her space. Whatever she needs, I'll give her. because I have no right to push her for anything."
But YES, bastards, not letting us see how the tag comes back. She brushes off Lee and then... she and Sam are in the bar and he has it (didn't we decide he had it then? or was it after that?) OMG I forget DAMN IT.
2. yeah, Caprica again, but worse. At least on Old Caprica he never (afaweknow) killed any humans. On NC they were humans. I tend to think while he could compartmentalize Sharon out as special, so killing Cylons wasn't hard, knowing he's killing humans had to eat at him. Not in the way it bothered Tyrol, who was more open about his doubts at the time, but more inside, where it just built and built, until he was the one that had to walk out of the Circle.
I don't want to overstate that either - in a way, maybe all that just contributed to his not being angry anymore, at least not in the way that Tyrol and Tigh and Charlie were.
3. No doubt there are only a few and immediately post-Exodus there was a lot of confusion and packed quarters, etc. Heck, they're still shuffling people around when Helo's mayor of Dogville weeks (months?) later. And obviously the Tyrols and later the Agathons are special because they had children too.
It just seems like such a distancing measure. Kara's barely got her stuff out, so they've only been on board a short time, and they're in HER rack. Which okay, was familiar and easy to possess when there's chaos. But the racks aren't built to share, and Sam's a civilian anyway, so probably shouldn't be there. It didn't strike me that odd at the time, but in retrospect it seems more deliberate. It's not just that she pulls away in that opening scene -- by her choice of where they're sleeping, she's ALREADY pushing him away.
