Laura Roslin

[caffey]

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?

Maybe I convert to Roslinism while keeping my Baltar-faith. Just think about it. The multiple voices in my head could have their very own party. *eg*

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.

*lol* I can hear your voices having a field day with them. Call me a perp but that would be one fic I'd love to read. *lol*

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.

You are a "perp" but you're my kind of "perp". *g*

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*

[sira01.livejournal.com]

Hmmh, I think I need to create myself an icon: Proud to be a perp. *g*

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.

Yes, you really need to do that. ^^

[caffey.livejournal.com]

Yes, go for it! Or let us have a go at it. Either way, you need that icon like you need air. Trust me on that one. *g*

Hmm, how about I catch up really fast and then you'll share the vid?

[sira01.livejournal.com]

Hmmph, why does every think I'm a perp. I'm innocent, don't you all get it. Ah well, maybe I'll put my meagre talents to the test on that one.

Sounds like a plan. *g* I'll be ready when you are.

[ufp13.livejournal.com]

I expected you to like Gaius... to me, he's made from the same material as Q. *LOL*

And don't the voices in your head always have a party? *remembers the Chaotica-Q-Janeway box ring* :D

[caffey.livejournal.com]

OMG. Chaotica/Q male bonding. I've nearly forgotten. LOL

You know what? You're so absolutely right about Gaius and Q. Why didn't I make the connection? *facepalm*

[ufp13.livejournal.com]

Forgotten? Suppressed would be more like it, I guess. *LOL*

*ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFL* *pats*

[caffey.livejournal.com]

No, forgotten. Since my weird synapses came up with that one in the first place, I have no reason to suppress. Yes, I've been called seriously and abnormally odd before. :D

[ufp13.livejournal.com]

Abnormal? NO! You're totally normal to me. ;D

[caffey.livejournal.com]

That's because you're just as crazy. *g*
