Laura: “No one believed that we would survive the Cylon nuclear holocaust or the hell on New Caprica or the 50,000 other crises we've lived through. But we did, we're here. We've made this veritable habit out of defying the odds, particularly William Adama. And he is alive. He is alive. And he will take command of this Fleet again. And when that day comes, he's gonna know who stuck with him & who ran. Now, who do you want to be?”
*These are not THE most hated characters of all time. I'm not saying that. They are simply favorite characters of mine who were unpopular with the fandom at the time their shows were airing. Some of these characters became more popular over the years. Some had/continue to have devoted fanbases, but that didn't stop the characters (and the real human beings who played them) from facing hate from the fandom at large. Hope that makes sense :)

The home of the eternal Greek gods who watch, discuss, argue over, and meddle in the lives and affairs of humans, such as Odysseus and his crew.
Locations in Battlestar Galactica as stops in the Odyssey. Quotes are from the Robert Fagles or Emily Wilson translations, depending on what I thought fit best.
okay but you know what could have been a nice way to dodge the weird billy-dee-lee love triangle AND give a chance to develop Tory’s character AND be kinda hilarious? if instead of rushing Dee into a relationship with Lee she instead latches onto Tory the minute she takes over after Billy's death. the narrative, the crew and Laura all treat this as completely expected, only Tory finds it kind of weird that this girl is acting as if their relationship is a given (because the narrative is on her side, Tory, she’s dating the President’s aide, it doesn’t matter if the person wearing that title has changed). i mean if we’re going to have a rushed relationship we may as well have grief-flavoured lesbianism while we’re at it. also don’t tell me that committing election fraud to make sure a milf stays in power is not a fantastic fourth date activity
let your faith die, bring your wonder (bsg, laura roslin)
She knows, with increasing tangibility, that the path she’s on will end soon. She’ll leave nothing but a legacy, and that’s only if the human race is very, very lucky.
Or, five conversations Laura Roslin had and one she didn't.

Me, writing BSG fic? In the year 2023? Yeah, it wasn't on my bingo card either. But that's been a theme this year, and this weekend marks the 20th anniversary of BSG's premiere, and...here we are. I have some feelings about this, which will go under the cut.
I joined Tumblr after the heyday of the BSG fandom, so many of you didn't know me during that time (others haven't gotten rid of me since). It was a long time ago! The last time I wrote Laura Roslin fic was in 2011. BSG was my last major fandom during the LiveJournal era, and after it came Doctor Who and the start of my Tumblr era, which has lasted much longer and been (mostly) a joy...
But nothing's ever been like BSG. The glory days of my time in that fandom are untouchable. No fandom, and very few other external factors, have impacted my life the way BSG did. If I hadn't begrudgingly watched this show that I was deeply skeptical about (I had never watched sci-fi and had no real interest, but a friend insisted) and loved it so much that I spent most of my free time talking about it with people on the internet...
I'd be a fundamentally different person. The trajectory of my life was altered with that first episode. And now, twenty years after it first aired and coming up on seventeen since I first watched it, there is virtually no part of my daily existence that isn't impacted by/the direct or indirect result of my decision to watch this show all those years ago.
This is because of the people, of course. The incredible cast that brought this show to life, and Mary McDonnell above all, who remains very dear to me in ways I never could have imagined way back when. Laura Roslin was and is one of the greatest characters ever created, and to this day remains my favorite of all time.
Much more, though, it's because of my friends.
Most of us haven't talked about BSG in years. It's not something that I even think about particularly often, not explicitly. It's foundational, not front and center. But BSG directly gave me so many of the people that matter most, and indirectly has led to so much more joy and chaos, and so many more people, through the ripples that are still making their way into my future.
I signed up for this challenge on a whim, thinking it would be fun to revisit BSG and Laura after all this time. Then life happened, aggressively, and finishing this ended up being much more challenging than I expected. I'm glad I did, though.
It's been a ride. I'm excited to see where it will take me next.
