Choose one of my icons (by keyword) and I'll tell you something about it. Or probably several somethings. In fact, I'll probably natter on a bit, because it turns out I'm a little obsessed with shiny graphics in small sizes.
I definitely felt that way about Sam. Poor Sam! He deserved so much more! It was very, very clear that Kara never loved him the way she should have if she was going to be involved with him.
But I don't see it that clearly with Athena. Actually, I think maybe that's why I was drawn to the two of them: I like the sort of gender inversion thing where the man is the one who is really in touch with his emotions and the woman is less forthcoming (see: Spike and Buffy, Logan and Veronica, etc.). So yeah, Helo is certainly just like brimming over with love for her, but I don't see an absence of love (the way I do with Kara, who was never more than fond of Sam), but more that she doesn't communicate it as clearly.
You might be right about Athena. Having only watched the entire series once, and never seen any episode more than once, it's kind of hard for me to think back and remember super specific scenes. Especially when there's like a gazillion different Athenas/Boomers/Sharons/3s, etc. ... She was a three right?
Speaking of Sam, I would just like to say that i think he got completely shafted during the series finale. He was such a good guy and what did he end up with? A woman who never really loved him, and left in a weird catatonic state that left him to clean up everyone's mess while they all got to enjoy the new Earth.

Though that's obviously open to interpretation.

Yeah, I think she was a 3. It sometimes was really hard to sort them out.
I SO AGREE. But then, there were a lot of messes in the finale. *sigh* Though Sam's was one of the worst. I say it again: poor Sam!
