Oh, why does this seem so shockingly poignant? Heh.
*looks at random US coinage* No reason, no reason at all!
I've been getting the sense watching the show that *we're* Cylons, what with the monotheism and everything.
And you like time resetting too? Is that sort of the concept behind 'Through a Glass, Lightly'? (I'm currently dramatically pointing my finger and going 'aha! I knew there was a reason I loved that series when I first ran across it!') I love playing with time, myself. *shoves certain events in the US into a black hole and smiles innocently*
I love stories with the concept of things happening in cycles and time repeating and past lives....etc. I think that's one of the things that drew me into Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (though, it's sucked since book six or so).
And yeah, there's definitely an element of that in TaGL. It's not a central focus of the story, but the idea is there.
Ok, this has got to be one of my favorite BSG fics ever. EVER. I love how this is all playing out - the whole thing is just epic. Baltar being the dying leader is great, and lmao at him losing his mind every time! And Kara as the bringer of death/salvation is genius. The conversation between Cottle and Laura, and their whole relationship in this fic, is just brilliant.
This Laura - this was his favourite.
Of course, he said that every time. LOVE! Cottle is so great.
Jack snorted, “Yeah, no matter how badly it all starts - and there have been some major fallouts and power trips - you both end up falling ass over kettle for each other. It was kinda sweet the first few times, now it’s pretty boring and irritating. Been to more of your weddings than I care to admit to. You could at least change the damn vows.” LOL!! This makes my little a/r shipper heart so happy, I can't even tell you. :-) Looking forward to the next installment!
I am 2348327492387% crazy about this fic. GODS! I just love the story of it. I love the plotting. I know I say this every week but godsdamn the two of you ITS WORTH SAYING EVERY WEEK!!!
This, this plotting is amazing. The story is amazing, and gosh, how much do I love your Cottle and his relationship with Laura? Tons. Just, tons, and the end with Bill? It is literally picture perfect.
It's funny though, the idea of resetting time itself to make things right... because in several stories and shows and such that I've watched resetting time makes things worse. It's... strange, but the roles you've established for them makes so much sense, the idea that though they each have a fixed to play in this, there is still change and variation because though their roles are fixed, their paths, choices, and actions aren't. I just love that concept, the flexibility that should exist within destiny.
My first review around here, I am kinda new in the comm., not to BSG/A-R though.:-) I hope you don´t mind if I add some of my thought to your fic.:-) Read the whole story since some days and I am happy to see a new chapter is up....and what for a chapter. Loved it.:)
Especially:
Jack eyed her smile with good natured disgruntlement, “Stop that, fraks sake, this isn’t the Adama/Roslin story you know, the survival of two races is at stake here.”
I would have loved it to see on a screen. I love the A/R/C-scenes in your fic.:-) The same goes for the whole story! I looking forward already to the next one.:)

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. The frak it isn't the A/R story!
I love the concept of time resetting. I have a weird attraction to novels and stories that have that concept behind them, so I got extra giggly.
Before long Baltar will start to demand “One nation under God” and will demand there are no distinctions between human and cylon.
Oh, why does this seem so shockingly poignant? Heh.
