The Positively True Story of President Laura Roslin and Cmdr. William Adama...(so far)
My internet was out for FIVE HOURS....so this is what I did....
A pictorial essay....
Once upon a time....
This is Laura Roslin. She’s having a bad morning. Her doctor just told her she has terminal breast cancer. It’s a very bad morning.
As Secretary of Education she was invited to the decommissioning of the “Battlestar Galactica.” Here she meets Commander William Adama for the first time. The meeting is fine, and she figures she’ll never have to see him again
Then the world ends. It’s very sad.
Laura finds out from the adorable Billy Keikeya that everyone else in the Colonial Cabinet is dead. Laura Roslin, come on down, you’re the next contestant on The Price Is Right! President!
Laura is sworn in and manages not to puke.
Captain Lee “Apollo” Adama argues with his father over the comm. President Laura overhears the Commander insult her. Ouch.
“Does he realize I’m basically his boss now? I think not.”
Cylon stuff happens and Lee manages to save “Colonial One” and everyone onboard. President Laura is happy. She also uses the phrase “our collective asses” and that makes me giggle.
They have to leave a ton of ships behind. Laura’s bad day gets worse.
The first of several power struggle meetings with Commander Adama. President Laura points out that if they are to survive as a species they need to get the hell out of there and start making babies. No, really, she says that.
Adama grudgingly gives in. This is his giving in face.
After they escape they shake hands. And now they’re stuck with each other. Also, she knows that he lied about not knowing where Earth is. That's sorta big.
The first time President Laura visits Galactica, Adama pulls out all the pomp. FYI, neither of them like pomp.
“The President thinks I’m an idiot.”
“The Commander thinks I’m an idiot.”
"No, he totally thinks you're hot." Lee assures the President that his father hates pomp, too. But he’s making a gesture. Later, Laura “adopts” Lee as her military advisor. It’s cute.
Then Starbuck goes missing. The Adama boys want to keep looking for her at any cost. President Laura, although she cares for Lt. Starbuck, comes to give the boys a dressing down. (DIRTY?!)
The Adama boys wait.
“I like her, too, okay? But we have to go. Clear your heads.” She said it much more awesomer than that.
The Adamas are sufficiently schooled.
Starbuck gets home just in time. She’s in the opening credits, after all. Everything is cool….
Until this cylon in an unfortunate shirt tells President Laura some unsettling news. Namely, “Adama is a cylon.” (Yeah. I KNOW.)
We interrupt this photo essay with this sweet photo of Billy and Dee. They rock.
