You should totally give writing fan fiction a try if you're interested. That is, after all, what it's all about. "Hmm, I wonder what it would be like if..."
I'm glad you enjoy Roslin's character. I really think she's fascinating and pretty unique on television today. I've heard people refer to her as a hypocrite, though thankfully not that many - it surprises me that you know a lot of people who think so. It doesn't surprise me people think she's tyrannical because that's definitely something that's a part of her story arc. But hypocritical? I can't associate her with that word because she's always so honest about what she's doing and her motivations. Like, even when what she's doing is horrible, she doesn't lie or try to hide it, and there's always the same motivation: save humanity. It strikes me as the opposite of hypocritical - she never does anything she isn't willing to a) do herself or b) do to herself.
I actually agree with you that Kara and Lee would probably have a healthy relationship if either of them could manage to be honest and work at it for a few minutes. I guess I also just feel a little like the 'ship has sailed for me and that there are other healthy relationships they could be having that I personally find more interesting. But I'm in the fortunate position that I don't hate the pairing so it's all good. :)
For someone who speaks English as a second language, your English is fantastic! I understand you perfectly and you are very eloquent.
Also I see from your LJ profile you live in Barcelona? I went there with my high school on an art trip when I was 17 (8 years ago now, wow, time goes quickly) and it's just beautiful there. The cathedral designed by Gaudi (the Segrada Familia - I think I spelled that wrong)? INCREDIBLE.
Plus, Catalonia! Hooray for minority languages/nations within larger countries! (I'm from Wales in the UK).
