Ooh, fantastic- in that 'eat your heart out' kind of way.

It's never really stuck with me that Laura would have gone through court after her family died, especially when the driver that did it survived.

If Gauis Baltar was innocent, humanity wasn’t worth saving.

Yup.

Sadly, that always comes after a tragedy like that. I can tell you that it isn't pretty. :(

Thanks for reading. :)

Ooh, ouch, perfect! I can really, really feel her anger here.

[defyingnormalcy]

That scene always gives me shivers, her anger is so palpable. I'm glad you felt that I was able to capture that.

Thanks for reading. :D

Another excellent scene!! I've always thought about Laura thinking back to the drunk that got away with killing her family when Baltar got off. You have captured that perfectly in this scene. She is so pissed at Bill!! I MEAN PISSED!! I really love the last line especially because you can feel all her hope dwindling away after loss after loss and the return of her cancer. Great work!!

I've always thought about Laura thinking back to the drunk that got away with killing her family when Baltar got off.

I've always thought about that too; there is just no way that she wouldn't link the two, they were both such terrible failures of justice. Even if the drunk driver got life in prison, it still pales in comparison to what she has lost. :(

Thanks for reading. :D

oh bloody hell, that's heart-wrenching! ç_ç but i get all the unspoken fury, you can read it on MM's face as well as in your lines, you gave it such a perfect back story to link with canon

[defyingnormalcy]

I looooooooove that moment. She totally nailed that scene. So powerful!

Thank you for reading. :D
