Laura Roslin

Apparently, I'm firmly in [livejournal.com profile] 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?

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

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*

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

*ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFL* *pats*

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

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

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