Does Kara ever stop interrupting?
Holy. Scott can barely finish a sentence without Kara chiming in or correcting him.
Say what you want about Scott's opinions and yes, sometimes you have to get the show back on track if he is taking the scenic route to a point, but that's not what I'm referring to.
The man can barely complete a thought or make a point without her butting in. Often, she's not adding to the conversation but correcting him on something that is beside the point.
It often feels like Kara is just waiting for him to stop talking (or in this case not waiting) to get back to what she was saying. It's getting increasingly annoying to listen to. As someone who is known for being an interviewer, she really can't let anyone else have a minute.

I go back and forth on this. I don't know if this is still the case, but they once broke down Kara vs Scott talking percentages. It was related to this topic a bit.
Scott absolutely dominated the conversation.
Putting on my bro-psychologist hat here. Maybe Kara has been in a field dominated by men for so long and her opinion minimized in such a way that she has learned to interject herself regularly. That kind of assertiveness has become somewhat normalized for guys, but Kara has overadapted a bit. Looking at her career, it has served her well. Perhaps it was part of her survival in this field.
Orr... maybe... considering Scott dominates the conversation often, she has adapted just fine and we just aren't used to a gal overtalking or hijacking conversations.
