She was ungracious, but she was also owed the aknowledgement by Kara which had treated her like crap previously. She's not a gracious person. Neither is Starbuck though :)


On Starbuck and Tigh, I think Kara had only so much respect for Tigh because of his drinking and not-so-great behaviour as her superior officer. With Kat, it seemed like she only gave Starbuck a hard time in the hopes that it would make her look better than Starbuck and I find the former to be more legitimate :)
Are you kidding? For all that Tigh is a drunk and occasionnaly and idiot we, at the point that Kara got into his face, had not seen him failing as a leader (the only time Tigh did was when he was in Adama's seat and when he was trying to recover from Ellen's death). Starbuck, as a leader, however, was totally unravelling. She was drinking as much as Tigh as, that much is clear. And she was not showing up to do stuff when she ought to. And meanwhile pilots were being killed left and right. Kat's friends were being killed. I sympathize much more with Kat for yelling at Kara in this case than I do for yelling at Tigh (much as I love the Tigh-Kara bickering and I do adore it ♥)
