I still think that flower is a ray of hope for her and that she will get back together

her scenes last night, showing us that she wants to live as Laura again, I loved the scene where she was running through the corridor and seeing her smile

Although I am worried about her treatment and also throwing medicine away

, I thought no good, also I don't think she wants to be President again.., I think the fleet needs some stability, but I can understand why she doesn't want it

She wants to be Laura again and now she is living as Laura

Welcome to the thread

Well said

Mine too!

Adding you!
Welcome!

I really enjoyed Mary in this episode. I was also a bit worried about her and all those medicine, but I think she has found the only medicine she needs. The will to live for her self and not for the fleet. That and her other half

I was so sad when she through her medicine away and then missed yet another appointment

however, her running and smiling was utlimate. I also agree that she doesn't want to be president but wants to live as Laura and enjoy her last days

At first I thought she was going to take them all, but when she threw them away (all of them) i figured she was done with treatment

Her little speech to Bill and the last scene, She was going to live the rest of her life the way she wants. As Laura Roslin and not President Roslin

I thought when I saw all those pills was that she was going to overdose herself but than I'm thinking that might be the normal amount that she needs which is alot

I think its the right decision for her to be Laura Roslin instead of President Roslin even if the government is downhill without her

**crazy_diamond** · 01-24-2009, 01:31 PM

I was worried at first about her medication, especially missing her appointment with the Doc, but then she said what she said, and I thought right on Laura, good for you

I just hope people come out with icons of her jogging because I want one of her from that scene

**crazy_diamond** · 01-24-2009, 02:26 PM

I'll find some

crash landing · 01-24-2009, 02:55 PM

I'm going to wait for some to pop on that community I watch

I have to say I'm disappointed in Laura and how she came across. She fought so long for so hard and now she "wants to live a little"? I just don't get it...again not Mary's fault, I kind of blame RDM for how this comes across to me. Very selfish of her b/c of how far she led these people to just now give up. So I do hope this "status of wanting to just die on her own terms" is a temporary thing and Laura comes back to her normal strong self soon.

**crazy_diamond** · 01-25-2009, 05:44 AM

I was in two minds about this. Firstly I didn't want to see her give up, but then when I heard her talk about her living, I thought good for her, because she hasn't really had a break since NC

I think she is tired and all she wants is to enjoy what she has

Still though, I want to see that fight, the fight we all know she still has in her...

crash landing · 01-25-2009, 09:32 AM

I'm also in two minds like Tracey

I agree with your argument about hwo she's led them so far and done all this for so long to just give up Alex

She is just letting the people down and becuase of that, they have a mutiny on their hands. I think if the mutiny goes their way and them winning, it might show Laura that she does need to go back to the people instead of just wanting to live which I do agree with how she should be able too but she shouldn't give up fighting the cancer either
