There are parts of Laura’s past Bill would be willing to hear, if she were willing to share them. The cylon occupation of New Caprica sits between them, a ghost of a time that is at once better forgotten and yet never should be. She speaks freely of her anger of how the cylons treated her people, of her fury at Baltar’s incompetence and further betrayal of the human race. She does not speak about her own experience, in the darkness of the cylon reign. Laura Roslin is a stubborn woman who keeps her enemies close and her emotions closer.
