Did you ever find that there were moments in BSG, and with A/R in particular, that just didn't work for you (dying does not count, lol

Cancer plot. *grumbles and shakes fist at RDM's poster* The first time around it was powerful and it actually added to her character, but the second time around it ruined everything *whispers*. I felt like they just gave her cancer so they wouldn't have to deal with her and it feels to me that they didn't know what to do with her in S4 in the first place. And it pains me so so much. She felt more like secondary character in S4 :(
And yes to #2. I could cry a full bucket over this. I remember how everyone raved about the opera house hair and clothes and all the theories about its meaning and then nothing. Laura gets cancer and trades her best suit for sweatpants and a hoodie. At least she already knew shortest way to gym.
YES. You know they didn't know what to do with a healthy Roslin when she was almost invisible in S3. Maybe letting her interact with more than just Adama would have helped?
Interaction with other characters is also a thing that makes me angry. Especially interactions with other females. I don't even need her to have bff forever and ever, but just some sort of interaction would have been wonderful.
THIS. So much this, and it makes me incredibly sad, because they ISOLATED her so much. She even lost Tory by the end of it, and I just. I can't even put into words how sad (and ANGRY) it just makes me.
I would have loved if they gave her a really fun adversary/frenemy. Someone (hopefully female) they butted heads with but still respected each other and sometimes got out ambrosia after a long and exhausting day and went 'look at us. we did good'. and gossip about military. and the next day they would go back to arguing. agh.
I know i am naive and frankly a bit stupid but I did hope we would see something like this till like middle of s4.
I mean I love a good sweatpant and a hoodie and cancer is a terrible thing, but I really think that they could have handled it a lot better (in a more interesting and engaging way). I just feel very strongly about this. I can turn my head at most things, but not this.
Agreed: Writers didn't know what to do with hermargaux_margoApril 1 2014, 02:18:58 UTC
I agree that the writers didn't know what to do with her.
I think they would have relegated her to the shadows (or death) long before, except that Mary McDonnell fought for her and proved, with every performance, that Laura was the most compelling character on the show (despite them).

Well I guess this is why we have headcanons.

Oh, this made me laugh out loud, in a wonderful and good way--because yes, THIS. You are so spot on here.
