But I guess what I'm getting at is that in a universe where (at least the human)characters seem to rather die than admit love for another or love for others corrupts the character, it was so nice to see these pure, simple statements of love.
I'm really glad that came through as that was something I wanted to put across with Maya. I wanted a break from the angst that we usually see and just...let her be. Simple but not boring, and in love without excuses or complications (well, from her perspective! From Laura's it's pretty darned complicated!)
However, I think your Laura is real to life by her reaction to Maya. Not because she doesn't love Maya, but because Laura loves the abstract concept of humanity more than she loves any individual human. That and Laura never truly felt like she wasn't the president anymore, I believe. ('cept maybe when she was high...) I think you captured this beautifully and the temptation she may have felt to love an individual close to the intensity she loves humanity.
Wow! That's a fascinatingly great thing to say! I don't disagree at all - I just never would have put it quite that way. I was mostly writing Laura that way because I figured she'd be paranoid not only of letting someone close to her, but of exploiting Maya. But that said, the notion that it's a temptation for her too is fascinating and true.
I love your interaction between Caprica Six and Laura. I wish the two had interacted on New Caprica and I am very excited that the two will probably interact in the upcoming season, especially now that Roslin has taken up the mantle of the prophet again.
YES.
They're two true believers in (seemingly) diametrically opposite religions -- you captured this beautifully.
I really enjoyed it! :D
Thank you! I'm so glad! :D
