Battlestar Gallactica News- Roslin Goes Crazy!

Usually on the show, Roslin (Mary McDonnell) is a very calm person. She is the unmovable, serious president of the Colonies. The episode in which she just kind of loser it was called, "Taking a Break from All Your Worries." This is a welcomed change by many people including Mary who self who thought playing her a character a different way was kind of fun.

In the episode, "Taking a Break from All your Worries," a couple of things happen. First, Apollo decides he wants to go to the bar in the Gallactica (strange, I know) and ends up stumbling around complaining on the ship. also, there is some screen time given to the whole Apollo Starbuck love thing as well. I'm not really into all of that "love stuff", but I guess it's a step in the direction of female views. Then again, why would make anyone think women are watching sci-fi for the love and relationship scenes?

Miss mcDonnel said, "I found it really quite wonderful to play because it was easy to play," McDonnell says. "There was an emotional ball of fire inside her regarding this man and his - duplicity. I was grateful to the writers and to Eddie (co-star Edward James Olmos, who also directed the episode) that they allowed her to cut loose like that. To me it just made her more human. And you know what? I don't think it's over."

The story of Battlestar is changing. it is time to see what comes next. The relationship between them and the Cylons is getting more complex with each passing season. The 4th season will be the better of the rest now that every character has intermingled in some way with the other. We can probably expect some kind of confrontation between the two: either they will go to war or declare each other friends. We shall see when the next season comes, until then, we can only dream.
