My Top 10 Bill Adama and Laura Roslin Shipper Moments (including a most EPIC picspam)
Because the BSG A/R muse hit me HARD today, I cranked out a fic and a drabble all within a two hour class that I so was not paying attention in. As soon as they are looked over by the ever so lovely abfabambrosia I will post them here and over at fanfiction.net. In the mean time, I absolutely NEED to make a 'top ten' post with these two lovebirds.
10. The kiss in "Resurrection Ship Pt.2"
I love this moment for many reasons. Firstly, this was the first on screen kiss between Laura and Bill, and it was improvised by the always wonderful Edward James Olmos (because honestly, who wouldn't want a kiss or twenty with Mary McDonnell?) The kiss is so tender and filled with promise, but as always, Bill has the absoloute worst timing! Laura is dying, and Bill is sort of saying good bye while also communicating to her how much he has grown to care about her.
9. Bill reading to Laura in "Escape Velocity"
I have always loved that these two could communicate to one another without being direct or overt. Bill tells Laura that he loves her through his actions, by siting by her while she battles her cancer, by holding her purse, walking her to their quarters, and of course, by reading to her. Laura has a weakness for mystery novels (and Bill Adama) I especially love the scene when he reads "Searider Falcon" to her, and that as she drifts off, he puts the book down, reciting from memory a passage.
8. Snuggling and weed on New Capirca
I want to officially declare that I totally beleive that it was on New Caprica that Bill and Laura finally became intimate with one another, I think that they made love under the stars well into the morning and fell asleep holding hands. 'Nuff said. But really, I squeed so hard when I saw "Unfinished Business" like, so hard.
7. Flirting of EPIC proportions in "A Day in The Life"
This scene, Laura's hair, that wrap around shirt, *guh* I drool every time I watch it! For me, Bill's whole "that and other times" speech totally confirms that they did the deed on New Caprica.
6. Bathrobe!Bill and Bathrobe!Laura
I just adore the scene at the end of "Faith" according to RDM's commentary, it was Mary McDonnell who suggested that this scene occur. The love between them is so palpable. And I love how Bill once again tells Laura that he loves her without actually saying the words.
5. "I love you" , "About time"
Words cannot even decribe the love that I have for this scene. It was a long time coming, and I cried/laughed/cheered when it finally happened.
4. Domestic Bill and Laura
Because the look on Tigh's face was the best reaction in all of BSG, and because Laura looks both hot and adorable wearing Bill's robe. "The Oath" is my favourite Adama/Roslin episode. Ever.
3. The Reunion
Another wonderful example of how well they can and did communicate without words. This scene is just so beautiful.
2. Sexitimes with Bill and Laura
I.Died.Of.Squee.
1. The kiss in "The Oath"
I love this scene so hard. Like, it's not even healthy. Let me walk you through it. Galactica is being taken over by the frakker Tom Zarek and his gang, and Bill and Laura may never see each other again as they are both walking into their certain deaths. But frak all of that because Bill Adama is so in love with Laura Roslin he is going to ignore every other person in the room, walk right up to the love of his life, and kiss her soundly in front of everyone, including his son. The kiss is passionate, tender, heart breaking, sexy, and oh so beautiful.
