I'm willing to go along with your timeline for the most part, but, personally, I don't think Laura started her affair with Adar until after the presidential election. The Laura we meet before her sisters and father dies is a very different woman from the Laura we know she becomes, and I don't think I see that Laura conducting a secret affair. I see her, if I may borrow what is probably an Oprah expression, living out loud. After her entire family is gone and she's the only one left, adrift as she is, starting an affair with a married man (yeah, I believe he's married) who also happens to be the most powerful man in the colonies, and knowing that the relationship would have to remain secret which would, in turn, simplify it for her, makes more sense to me.
The Adar affair is the one thing that I wasn't really sure where to put, so that works for me. And makes a lot of sense.
(And I will get to responding to your last Daybreak review soon, I promise. Seven billion things on my mind at the moment, and at least three of those are actually not BSG-related and therefore need to be attnded to.)
This looks good to me. I kind of did a similar thing for a story I've been working on. I came up with some slightly different results, but we know so few hard facts so it's all open which is really kind of fun
( ... )
Interesting thoughts. I'll have to have a think about that.
I think I prefer the series bible way of looking at it, as in Adar brought her in once he was already mayor. I feel otherwise she might have been in politics too long, and I like the idea of Laura as a teacher enough to want her to have done that for a fairly significant period of time.
The Laura/Adar relationship is, like I said, the bit that I'm most unsure about. Which is annoying as it's kind of important to what I'm trying to work out. You may be right about there being something there. I'd suspect that there wasn't an actual affair there, but maybe some kind of attraction, at least. I'll have a think :)
