Why did laura roslin die

And men, as well! Stop living this divided, dual consciousness and bring your masculine and feminine [sides] together, because it can be extraordinary. Speaking of masculine and feminine, the relationship between Roslin and Admiral Adama is very tender — they allow themselves to be fully human around each other.

Would you ever like to see it consummated? First of all, Eddie [Olmos] and I just had a natural chemistry, a recognition of camaraderie. We have very similar values when it comes to acting, and how to behave on a set. Sort of two old warriors together, do you know what I mean?

So there was a great deal of instant camaraderie, even though [our characters] were instantly put into the position of really annoying each other [at the start of the series], really adversarial, very much into the gender power struggle right from the get-go. Because Laura is a very isolated woman, she has virtually no friends, family, loved ones.

Does she entertain any ideas about consummating some kind of relationship with him? I think she needs to be very clear-headed. Home Article ''Galactica'' stars talk about the shocking finale!

Mary McDonnell, Battlestar Galactica. We may still face our doom if we make our machines too smart and too sentient. There were still some gaps in the narrative that required major leaps of logic, but showrunner Ronald D.

Moore had a fast and easy explanation for everything: God did it. Basically, anything that hadn't been explained could be chalked up to a divine influence of some sort. Forms of Baltar and Six still exist in the 21st century somehow? God did it. Kara came back from the dead? Totally God. Hera was conceived because of the genuine love between Helo and Athena? Thanks, God. Basically, a whole lot of God filled in the blanks for the finale of Battlestar Galactica.

It was an unexpected twist for those who expected more straight answers than spirituality out of the last episodes ever, and it remains largely divisive to date. As it turns out, the ending we got in the "Daybreak" episodes wasn't the only one that had been considered by Ronald D. Moore and Co. Moore shared this tease in a Syfy message board comment via io9 about what might have been the final chapter of Battlestar Galactica :.

There was a point in the development process where we discussed the idea of the Galactica not being destroyed, but having somehow landed on the surface more or less intact, but unable to ever get into orbit again the particulars here were never worked out, so don't ask how she made it down without being torn apart.

We talked about them basically abandoning the ship and moving out into the world. Cut to the present-day, in Central America where there are these enormous mysterious mounds that archeologists have not been able to understand it may have been South America, I can't recall the exact location, but these mounds really do exist.

Someone is doing a new kind of survey of the mounds with some kind of ground-penetrating radar or something and lo and behold, we see the outlines of Galactica still buried under the surface. The showrunner had another ending up his sleeve as well. Evidently, we have the writer's strike of - to thank for the direction of the series finale. Moore revealed a second alternate ending in a chat with io9 , saying this:.

There was a different ending that we had, it was all about Ellen aboard the Colony. She was sort of turned by Cavil, because she found out that Tigh had impregnated Caprica Six, and that deeply embittered her. And she sort of became dedicated to the idea of destroying Galactica and the fleet out of revenge. And [she and Cavil] got Hera, and then the final confrontation became very personalized between Tigh versus Ellen, and should they forgive.

Originally, hell had no fury like a Cylon scorned. Moore ruled this particular ending out when he decided it wasn't grand enough for the final act of Battlestar Galactica , and so we didn't get our last glimpse of the survivors in the midst of a cyborgian domestic dispute. Helo and Athena's daughter Hera was last seen in Battlestar Galactica happily playing in the grasses of what would someday come to be known as Tanzania. In actuality, Hera's remains were discovered , years after her death.

Scientists came to the decision that she represents Mitochondrial Eve, which made her the most recently-discovered common ancestress for all living humans. The twist that Hera is Mitochondrial Eve and therefore a mother of sorts to the human race somewhat justifies the lengths that the crew aboard the Galactica went to in order to rescue her from Boomer and Cavil. Unfortunately, the flashforward also revealed that the remains of Mitochondrial Eve were those of a young woman.

Hera may have lived long enough to hook up and bear the children of an early human, but she didn't live to become an old woman. Hera's happily-ever-after on Earth was short-lived. Her sanctioning causing Adama to place her under arrest. Her arrest causes tension in the fleet.

In Epiphanies , Laura is close to death and we her memories of what happened shortly before the Cylon attack. We see that as Education Secretary, she had to try to deal with a strike by the teachers and how she deals with the Union leader. We also see how she was having an affair with the President of the colonies. Her death is averted when the blood of the captured Number 8 Sharon Valerii is given to her and it cures the cancer.

Although Adama has Laura arrested, the two become close and find comfort in one another's arms. Laura finally succumbs to the cancer but only after she has reached Earth and dies alone with William Adama. There's no register feature and no need to give an email address if you don't need to.
