Also, I just got to reading comments above, and have I ever mentioned how much I love reading the Laura convos between you, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]? Because I do, because as much as I love her character, I've always been fascinated by my own reactions to her and other people's as well. I find it so very interesting when I come across people who avidly hate her as well as the people who adore here, and I want to understand how she inspires such extreme reactions and feelings, and I... I'm trusting the show at the moment to deal with her character arc well, and I'm also trusting in Mary's positive reaction to the series' end as an offer of hope. However, I will admit, I would be quite... angry if she just gets passed over. I am also intrigued by something mentioned by Mary for the future episodes as reported by fans who attended the SF Ball.
