- Where did you learn to play that song?
- I played it as a kid. My father…
- What are you talking about?I still think RDM changed directions with this at the last minute because too many people guess where he was originally going. You don’t set up a character with all the traits you’ve implied about another for no reason.
I don’t care what RDM says. Daddy!Thrace is Daniel as far as I’m concerned.

I loved this quote. So true.
I was on the fence about Lee for 3 seasons. This moment made me realize I can’t stand him. HOW could he do that to a woman who has been like a mother to him since the day they met, who his father is OBVIOUSLY head over heels in love with, and who has saved the human race time and time again?!?! and for a guy like Gaius Baltar no less!! Plus, HOW MUCH OF AN IDIOT do you have to be to not think about WHY she was taking the chamalla?!
He lost his way for a little bit. In some ways, Lee is like a child for most of the show; he doesn’t know who he is or what he wants. That bit in Resurrection Ship when he gives up, floating out in space…he’s realized he doesn’t know what his life is really worth. So when the chance to play lawyer comes along, he grabs hold of it with both hands because he thinks, maybe, this. Lee is an instinctive justice-seeker, and he can see what a mess humanity is in, what it did to itself on New Caprica, and he wants so badly to turn something wrong into something right.
What he does in the courtroom is not about Baltar at all, or about Roslin (although it is about his father, a little bit); it’s about…well, I don’t really need to say it because Lee says it in that great monologue. He is sick of blame and revenge and humanity twisting itself into knots, and he just wants people to be punished for what they’ve done, rather than what they should have done and didn’t.
Laura says to him, much later on, that his problem is being so concerned with doing the right thing that he doesn’t do the smart thing. And she’s absolutely right. She does what she has to do to keep humanity going, and he does what his ideals tell him to do. Which often doesn’t work very well in their ‘run, fight or die’ existence.
As for what he does to her on the stand, yes, it’s awful, but he’s not doing it to hurt her, and when he realizes what it is that he’s done, exactly, that’s the first time that he begins to think, wait, maybe I’ve gotten too caught up in this ‘newer and better justice system’ thing.
The thing about Laura Roslin and Lee Adama is that they both need a little of what the other one has. Lee needs some of her leadership quality, her willingness to step the fuck up and make the decisions for the good of the human race that everyone else has the luxury of avoiding. And she needs a little of his innocence, a little of his drive to find something better than survival for which to strive. (And it’s great because she gets that from her love for Adama; he brings her up another level as a human being.)
I actually love the courtroom scenes because they’re emblematic of this not-quite relationship; these two are like ships in the night so often, after that first-season glow wore off for Lee, and he stopped being satisfied with being just her Captain Apollo. He needed more, something to live up to, and that was where things went pear-shaped, because she really had no other role for him to fill, no way for him to stand on his own.
I feel sorry for both of them in these episodes, and for Adama, because he takes betrayal so seriously, and his love for Laura just underscores that anger with Lee that always splits them farther apart.
And it’s great because she gets that from her love for Adama; he brings her up another level as a human being

When a woman is this mind-bogglingly beautiful, we’re more than willing to overlook the fact that she’s eerily good at playing a serial killer, an assassin, and now an evil queen in this month’s Snow White and the Huntsman.

Tom Zarek: This is Tom Zarek, President of the Twelve Colonies. It’s over, Laura. Saul Tigh was killed attempting to escape. Bill Adama was tried and found guilty of his crimes. A firing squad executed him this morning. It’s done, Laura. You want to think about the people of this fleet now, and surrender.
President Laura Roslin: No. Not now. Not ever. Do you hear me? I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, every weapon I have down to my own eyeteeth to end you. I swear it! I’m coming for all of you!one of the best scenes you’ll ever see on TV, EVER
My most rewatched BSG scene ever. No BAMF is more awesome than the Roslin,
