You know, it's really reassuring to hear other people saw something deeply wrong with that final scene not just OMGYAYSEX or somesuch. The collective A/R squee was probably deafening in places, but it's just so unhealthy to me in that scene. They may be happy in their bubble, and deserve some measure of that happiness...but, who pays the price for it? I've never seen Laura Roslin be this overtly selfish before. She does seem very desperate and I'm a bit worried over what might happen when the mask finally cracks. This is not the way I want Laura to have her peace.
I think that it's interesting to note that while RDM assumed this was the first time they slept together both Mary McDonnel and Edward James Olmos were of the opinion that it was not. Hmm, definitely interesting. Heh, I've found though that when any of the actors voice an opinion on their characters that's different from RDM, I usually agree with them. It'd be just as disturbing to me if it was their first time sleeping together. Because they are choosing to show us it now, regardless, so the question you asked stays the same.
I am amused that this is the most I have possibly ever thought about A/R in any context. I WOULD LIKE MY BRAIN BACK, BSG!
And forgot the first time: More Cylon show soon, y/y? I miss it, too. Why were we deprived of the awkwardness of the FF dealing with other Cylons?
