Suddenly we have a flashback to Lee wanting into Starbucks pants before his brother died. WTF? Then we cut back to the assault on the Colony. It left me thinking it was padded for time and nothing else.
Actually, I thought that the flashbacks to the Lee/Kara subplot back on Caprica were pretty crucial to providing some insight into what minimal closure Starbuck did get.
What it served to illustrate is that the one person that Kara has always wanted to be with is Lee. Even when Kara was with Zak, and even when she was with Anders, Lee is the guy that she wanted--and yet, as we're shown, he's the guy she can't be with, and she knows it, deep down. I actually thought that was a fairly nice bit of storytelling, myself.
