The Love You Make

…is equal to the love you take

This is a the brilliant Mary McDonnell who is finishing out her normally nuanced portrayal of “schoolteacher” turned President Laura Roslin.

Her she is bellowing–to whom we do not know, “I’m coming for all of you!”

She looks and sounds scary and that is a brand new Laura Roslin. She was authoritative and brave but scary is not one we’ve seen much. Her almost killing Baltar by allowing him to bleed to death and her love of airlocking cylons, not withstanding (I sorta forgot those 2 minor details for a moment).

Notice she’s still wearing her wig Admiral Cain-style. I think it deliberate that the all-powerful, dead-by-Six Cain is slightly evoked. Also how the wig is sort of a gauge related to the Roslin character being out of remission, battling cancer.

I have a cute shot of Roslin and Adama in character and he looks as if he’s going in for the kill.

Ah, elder-love.

She’s asking him if he’s a Cylon (again).

EJO has just told MM that if he’s a cylon, she’s screwed. lol

They are both only semi-serious or at least trying to look that way. Evocative of an early scene in the series, where Mary suspected Adama of being a cylon. He’s not. Or, if he is, they all are (!)

)I was just kidding about the age thing. Mary is only a couple years ahead of me. Olmos, well, he is the “Old Man.”
