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?

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*

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. ^^

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?

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.
