Yeah I'm...kind of with you on that one. I mean, I don't think it's a complete waste of time, I think they'll genuinely give us stuff with some relevance to S4.5 including a few contextless clips, but I think my speculation is probably pretty useless.
Basically because there are at least five different things I can think that means that are all different and are all suitably 'vague' and 'symbolic' and of course that's the point.
So like, she's been photoshopped out of the major S4 promo pic, and these are clues as to the final cylon and stuff! OMG SHE'S BEEN ELIMINATED AS A SUSPECT!
Or maybe the point is, this is the photo where RDM said the fifth wasn't pictured, and now she's been removed, OMG SHE'S BACK IN CONTENTION AS A SUSPECT!
Or maybe, it's foreshadowing her prophesied death.
Or maybe, it's showing that she's stepped off her destined path.
Or maybe, it's showing a literal separation between her and the rest of the cast members pictured.
To be honest, my money would be on the last one simply because Lee's acting as President - as is Zarek in some clips, seemingly, with Laura nowhere to be seen except some shots in the trailers where she appears to be on a basestar. So I'm guessing she's a hostage, or stands down after the Earth fiasco and is hiding out there or something. And that's why she's not pictured.
But that's a wild guess, and basically separating her from everyone else - which is what that photoshop job does - is something that's going to be applicable to her show-long arc WHATEVER they do. Because that's what Laura does. Take on the burden herself, alone, elsewhere, in secret.
Alas, I'm also a spoilerwhore and I'm...desperate these days. *bites nails*
