First off, I love the banter at the beginning so much! And then in classic lls_mutant form, somewhere in the middle of the giggles you ripped my heart out again, in a good way.
I found myself really rooting for Dee and Lee to work things out, which is something I can't say I ever did in the show. I was so happy that Dee had friends who were there for her that at first it made me very angry that Lee seemed to begrudge her that. But then I got it--it's not that Dee has people to talk to, it's that he's not one of them. It's almost as if the breakthrough with Hoshi allowed Dee to feel like she can mourn, but she's shifted over her need to be strong to Lee, keeping him from mourning. I understand it--watching someone you love be hurt can feel a lot worse than your own grief--but it's so frustrating and sad. It really makes Hoshi's gesture of taking Dee to her first group meeting bittersweet.
The bits about Dr. Robert have me wondering...did Dr. Robert give Hoshi a check-up of...questionable accuracy on New Caprica because Hoshi's from Sagittaron?
