The chapter was wonderful, the only two I like better are chapter 2 and chapter 3… although the line: ““When I’m dead, whatever you do, don’t let him alone with the body.”” belongs in chapter 4

Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed the chapter. It helps to know that the work is appreciated. Everyone says you should write for yourself not for reviews and I do write for myself, but I write longhand 90% of the time so let's just say I write for myself, but type for reviews

You always make me think more about the characters who inhabit these stories, and you make me see them to much more deeply... This was fascinating.

Thank you! I'm glad it's giving you something to think about and doesn't just come across as a retread.

Another wonderful chapter! I love your take on the Laura/Lee relationship. Lee -> Oedipus complex much?
But as much as I adore Laura/Lee I can't wait for you to bring Bill back into the story cause Laura/Lee = cute, Adama/Roslin = EPIC!

I'm glad you liked my take on L/L.

Adama/Roslin is definitely epic and we'll be getting back to them soon, but first we have a very short Tory segment and maybe a few words between Sharon & Cottle. I can't make up my mind on whether or not to include that last one.

I really like that you're adding more shades to characters that BSG simply portrayed as bitches like Tory or Cain. I have to say I dispise Tory with a passion because first of all she is not Billy and second she betrayed Laura. I mean who in their right mind would do that?!?!
So I will definitely enjoy your take on her and Cottle is always love but I also can't wait to get back to A/R!!!!

I laughed out loud reading this comment. I'm going to go grab the next chapter and post it so you'll understand why.

What a great, great chapter! I don't remember if I have commented before, but I had to after this one. I agree with many others who were bothered by the disappearance of the L/L relationship and where it ended up. Thank you for a fantastic(I wish I had a better word than that) portrayal of why Lee did what he did. And this line just about did me in, "And without thinking, Lee did it again. He took that smile away." Such sweet and bitter anguish for Lee and for us. Too many emotions at once. Keep up the great work! I am enjoying it all.

Thanks for letting me know you've been enjoying it. There were so many relationships between characters that seemed to just get dropped by the writers without explanation but this one really stuck out the most for me.
