I really loved Laura in this one particular scene when Batlar confesses and then she decides not to allow him to die. She was going too but than decided not too

Quote:

Roslin: What is your guilt about?
Baltar: I have no guilt.
Roslin: What was your guilt about?
Baltar: I gave the access codes to the Cylons. They wiped out most of humanity. Of course I didn't know that's what I was doing at the time. And when I realized what I had done, the magnitude, in that moment I was saved. I was loved, by God. Looking back, I think I was rewarded.
Roslin: Rewarded?
Baltar: Pythia talks about a flood. Wiped out most of humanity. Nobody blames the flood. Flood is a force of Nature. Through Flood mankind is rejuvenated, born again. I was another Flood. You see, I blamed myself. I blamed myself. But God made the man that made that choice. God made us all perfect. And in that thought, all my guilt flies away. Flies away like a bird.

I was upset because he FINALLY admitted, consciously, his wrong doing. The one thing that's been plaguing him and he then talks about feeling no guilt because he was saved...like he keeps trying to cover that guilt by being oblivious to it but the more he tries, the harder it is. I loved that Roslin ended up saving him because I was tired of her just blindly hating him and using every excuse she could muster to justify him not being deserving of certain rights. It was both a scene of redemption and acceptance.

I'm glad that she saved him and glad it was her who he told

redemption is the proper word for it

Laura

, poor Laura

, she has lost all hope and faith, the things that are dear to her and now she has nothing and when she was burning the book of Pythia

, I thought oh no.

also Laura hugging the flower as was listening to Adama...

Mary just was

She totally rocked it again!

She is still holding on to life (flower). She is not ready to give up!
She only needs to have a little faith and that is Bill

Aww poor Laura with losing her faith completing and that scene where she was burning Pythia bible was

Mary owned those scenes of hers last night

Laura and that flower was so sad. Esp since the flower wasn't even alive, I don't think. It was dying. Just so sad.

crash landing · 01-17-2009, 11:31 AM

I honestly think that flower was still alive

eternalnoob · 01-17-2009, 11:45 AM

Well it's not anymore once she pulled it out. Plus it looked like it was dying.

crash landing · 01-17-2009, 11:57 AM

But it was interesting that it was still alive after though

Exactly E's

I thought to myself, don't give up Laura, when watching those scenes...

I think the flower is her ounce of hope

**crazy_diamond** · 01-18-2009, 05:11 AM

maybe,, just hoping that that flower is going to give her the extra strength
