I was just telling topetine earlier that I was surprised by how much I like Sara in the earliest episodes since I pretty much can't stand her in any of the other ones. There's a tiny bit of flirting between the two of them, but no more than you'd expect to see between friends like they're supposed to be. If they could have developed that without leeching away the things that make her an enjoyable character later on, then I think the two of them would be a much more interesting couple. Well, to me at least.
