Hi! I hope I'm not intruding, but I've always enjoyed reading other people's thoughts/reviews of episodes, because, heck, they are usually a lot more organized than my thoughts. I love the points you raise up here.
As for Bill and Laura... I'm a shipper, yes I am (though I'm pretty much a rabid Laura Roslin fangirl LOL). And it's funny, because though MM tore my heart apart with her acting in those scenes and the facial expression, I'm being very optimistic in my reading here, I think it's interesting to note that the devastation she clearly felt at the announcement of the Admiral's execution was overshadowed in the next moment. I actually love how they show her pulling together and unleashing herself after Zarek's line about how she should surrender because it would be the best thing for the "people." The rage on her face in that moment I thought really was the entryway in everything that happens afterwards I thought, so Bill actually didn't color that scene as much as I might have thought of as a shipper. The timing of his words and her shift in expressions and body language seemed to indicate that she was angry that Zarek would even dare say that to her. That he even had the right to say that to her.
(^_^)" I don't know. Hence, my rambly, ill-written thoughts. *sighs*
