I personally liked her most in the scene in the Ship of Lights where Apollo died.

I also liked the scene were she guided Count Iblis around the ship. Ending in the Agroculture ship with the famous cut out scene where Count Iblis says: "Don't worry, nothing can harm you as long as I'm inside you!"

A tie for me between her scene with Apollo in "Hand Of God" where they finally kiss, and her priceless brush-off of Starbuck in LL, "You wouldn't want me to throw the mission just to avoid losing the bet."

Charting the underlying attraction between the two right from the beginning in "Living Legend" is one reason why I find the story possibilities of further developing that relationship post-HOG so fascinating. By contrast, you never really got a full measure IMO of how Apollo and Serina just happened to gravitate toward each other. Yes, we saw Apollo being kind to Boxey but in terms of attraction and love for each other in "Saga Of A Star World" it wasn't really that evident (especially because it was being shot under the premise that Serina was dying and looking at Apollo to be the one to look after her son).

It's certainly present in LPOTG. I wouldn't deny that. I just felt that it wasn't quite as evident in Saga.

I think the first signs of Apollo's attraction for Sheba can be seen in LL with his reaction to Cain's showing the hologram of her, "If I'd met that young lady, I'd certainly remember." and then afterwards he seems particularly anxious to seek her out in the Officers Club.

Professional would be the only reason he would admit to himself at that point. Subliminally, I think there was an attraction that he wasn't willing to admit at that point.

Possibly, but he certainly concealed it well. But then Apollo is very good at wearing his mask in front of others, especially subordinates.

I always felt that the scene between Apollo and Sheba in the Cylon Raider in the Hand of God where they first kissed, had Apollo looking a bit like a deer caught in the head lights. Very Happy

I understand Sheba wanting to make her feelings for him known at that time, especially with the potential that Apollo might not return from the 'suicide mission', but I think that if Apollo was steering the ship, he would have continued at a slower, more cautious pace, especially with Serina's death not that far behind him. And more importantly, considering Boxey's feelings.
I'm not sure he was ready for that kiss. But it was well done, none the less, and I love how Sheba took charge of the situation.

AND, how she and Cassie stood side by side, in the Celestial Dome, watching the Raider take off, talking about love. No more animosity between them. Healing.
Great scene.

That animosity between Sheba and Cassie was always one way. Cassie always seemed very empathetic about Sheba's reaction to her when she was seeing Cain. She was more mature emotionally than Sheba if not chronologically. And Sheba seemed to do a lot of growing up during the course of the Living Legend. Another good trait of the character was that she realized when she was wrong, and changed her behavior accordingly.
I wonder if she would have matured and evolved the same had she still been under the influence of her father. It was almost as though when she lost him, it opened up her eyes in many ways.

Agreed. As long as Sheba remained in Cain's shadow, her growth to maturity would always be on hold. After all, he could offer her nothing but a life of endless fighting, with no resolution or change in sight. And I doubt anyone on the Pegasus would risk trying to "date" her, when they all have the same CO. Only by transferring to the Galactica was she able to resume the path towards maturity stalled many yahrens before.
And, whether she realized it or not, Cassie was the catalyst of that.

So . . . the question could now be, how would she react if Cain came back from the unknown? Would she revert to old patterns and want to once again be at his side, or would she maintain her position on the Galactica, away from his direct influence? Could have some fun with that. Wink

Planning on it actually. Twisted Evil

Oh, you eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil one, you!

She would feel torn, I am sure. If sealed to Apollo, I think it would be less of a crux for her.
