I understand what RDM was trying to do with Laura's character, I do. I've seen it in real life...people fighting cancer and one year they just give up and wanna be with their family or do the things they like to do and just die on their own terms.

However, just b/c I understand it, doesn't mean as a viewer I have to agree with it. That's why I'm feeling zero sympathy for Laura right now. I loved her for the fierce leader that she was, and for the compassion she had for humanity in general, for her determination to do whatever it takes to get these people to a place they can call home. Now they are taking away all of those characteristics, that's how I see it.
