Laura Roslin
Apparently, I'm firmly in
shayenne's corner when it comes to the character of Laura Roslin. I've just started watching episode 1x09 and I just cannot believe she's actually entertaining the idea of Adama being a Cylon. Worse yet, and that it the point of this post really, her sole reason stems from a comment a Cylon made in episode 1x08 even though she knows exactly what he's doing by telling her this.
Yes, I get that the comment was meant to plant a seed of doubt, and obviously it did. Yet the thing that gets me is that Roslin knew precisely what Leobon was doing putting insidious thoughts in their heads; she basically told Starbuck so. So why, I ask you, why does she seem to take his comment at face value? She's never had reason to doubt Adama -- until after Leobon whispers four little words in her ear. *headdesk*
I'm having an insanely strong fangirl reaction here. I believe I'm not just officially in love with this show, I'm irrevocably in love with it. I mean the muse -- you know the one responsible for writing -- is actually sitting up and begging to get cracking. Not that she knows, precisely, what she wants but it involves Baltar, Head Six, and is headed right into NC-17 territory. *snorts* Like I've got time to write -- or a proper grasp on the characters, for that matter. Oh, and I need more BSG icons.
Guess that means I've got my work cut out for me, huh?

Gods, if you asked me the only thing to do with good ol' Gaius would be to airlock his sorry ass.

I can't explain my love for Gaius. He's selfish, he's delusional (at the very least has delusions of grandeur), he's got his very own agenda (from what I can tell), and he's living one big headfuck. And yet I love him. Or maybe that's exactly why I love him. Well, that and his accent which I could listen to for hours on end.

Yep, that's Gaius for you. *nods* Never mind that I have a reason or two for really hating him but personal perception of things varies. *lol* That this guy even fits through a door at all with an ego as big as his... *shakes head*
And although I really, really don't like him I couldn't resist working on a Roslin/Baltar vid this summer, although I wasn't all that nice to good ol' Gaius.

I believe his ego to be one of his charms, in an admittedly warped kind of way. Ria just likened him to Q and I totally agree. That should explain my love for him.
The vid. Is it done? Can I watch it? Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? *makes puppy dog eyes*
no subject
Just admit it, you like warped guys with an ego big enough for a Galaxy or two. *g*
Of course it is done but it covers everything up to season 4.0. Wouldn't want to give any spoilers, even in such a roundabout way.

Hmm, how about I catch up really fast and then you'll share the vid?
no subject
Sounds like a plan. *g* I'll be ready when you are.

And don't the voices in your head always have a party? *remembers the Chaotica-Q-Janeway box ring* :D
no subject
You know what? You're so absolutely right about Gaius and Q. Why didn't I make the connection? *facepalm*
