I've been having a negative reaction to the scene too the more I think about it.
I think on a shallow note it's such a hot scene, two extremely gorgeous people being alpha and sexy and angsty and so much sexual tension it's oozing down the walls.
But on character development it's a much harder pill to swallow. We still don't know exactly what Kara is and how much her destiny is driving her actions (she was sweet and adorable with Lee, and a nasty bitch to Sam) and now Sam's technically the enemy and after the audience seeing his sister Cylon airlock a woman in front of her baby, how are we supposed to take Sam's actions and motives now? Is something driving him too or is he so desperate for something solid to cling to that Kara, his wife, the woman who has gone beyond duty to save his life, seems like all he has?
I do believe though that Kara switching gears abruptly as she did from pushing him away to asking to frak her like it's the end of the world, was to see if he could tell she was different. Maybe she's still doubting if she's a Cylon and thought if Sam sexed her up he might be able to tell if something was different.
But I can't feel totally sorry for Sam getting used. She didn't seek him out and did her best to keep disengaged and then only because he persisted she got more cutting and tried to make him leave. But Sam was like a solid wall that refused to budge. He got in her face by grabbing her paint scraper and grabbing her arm. He pushed until he got a reaction and I'd say they're both equally responsible for that frakked up frak.
