I love how MM and EJO use their glasses not just as props, but as an extension of their characters.
Here in Rapture, at the beginning, they've just played chicken with the Cylons and have won for the moment. Their power is magnified by their glasses; these are a couple of utter bad asses.
But then Space Daughter #2 finds out that Space Mom sorta kinda lied about the dead Spacegrandbaby and has Space Nephew kill her--
--and those glasses become shields behind with the deeply shamed Space Parents can hide.
(Fabulous face acting from MM, as usual)
And the most powerful couple in the universe are just two people who can't look Helo in the eye. *sniffle*
OT: I love the awfulness of that blue blazer of Laura's. It's so ill-fitting, it really looks like something that you'd keep wearing after it shrunk in the wash (damn you, Tory!) because it's the apocalypse, after all, and you have to make do.
