I will always remember her from Dances With Wolves before BSG. Is that wrong?

I don't think so, because shew blew me away with her performance in 'Dances with wolves' and keeps doing so with her portrayal of Laura Roslin on BSG. But 'Dances with wolves' will probably always be my first thought when someone mentions her name.

Laura Roslin is definitely one woman you don't want to mess with. Add me to the list of die-hard Roslin fans.

Anyone see her in Donnie Darko? That is another of my favorites she's in.

Was I the only one who was kind of caught off-guard by the somewhat darker turn that RDM and Co. started taking Laura's character? Even though she'd already shown that she'd do what she had to to keep the human race safe, it still surprised me when she asked Dr. Cottle to help her intentionally deceive Helo and Sharon and help hide their baby, and then later tried to steal the election to keep Baltar away from the Presidency. Still, at least she had viable reasons for every questionable decision she made through the first 2 seasons, unlike Baltar (since you can't really justify WHY he gave Gina that nuke and surrendered New Caprica to the Cylons).

now I have to see that movie again.


I'm not surprised by her actions, Diificwriter - Laura does things only cause she feels it's for the best

There is a slightly dark streak running through Laura, wonder if we'll see it again in the season
