There’s A Reason These People Are Fucking Stupid And Proud Of It.

For All Mankind | Margo + smiling

"Even Margo's smiling."

Sergei + being a smug bastard (complimentary)

I couldn't get any sleep last night so I watched the elevator scene again (as one does) and I can't find the previous discussion. But Margo definitely takes her shoes off during the pufferfish discussion and puts them back on when the elevator stops on the fifth floor. It's intentional, she sighs and lets her feet rest.

I am becoming aware of the effect a lack of trust in the media has had on people, paired with a dearth of research skills.

I'm glad our time on this Earth overlapped.

Bill Adama: “You ever think about the times much on New Caprica?”

Laura Roslin: “I try to think about the good times, yes, I do.”

Bill Adama: “One in particular stands out in my mind.You were wearing your really bright red dress. Said you wanted to build a cabin.”

Laura Roslin: “It was Baltar’s ground breaking ceremony. I got a little silly that night.”

Bill Adama: “You ever wonder what would’ve happened if the Cylons hadn’t have come back?”

Laura Roslin: “I think given Baltar and the terrain we couldn’t have made a go of it. What about you? Do you think you would’ve stayed on Galactica, or do you think you would’ve settled?”

Bill Adama: “It’s pretty hypothetical, isn’t it?”

Laura Roslin: “It is. Until it isn’t.“ *laughs* “Did I just say that?”

Bill Adama: “It’s worth just seeing you laugh like that. We’ve been at war so long sometimes we forget what we’re fighting for: Raise our kids in peace. Enjoy one another’s company. Live life as people again.”

Laura Roslin: “Like that night on New Caprica. That’s really what we are talking about here now, isn’t it?”

Bill Adama: “That and other times.”

Laura Roslin: “So if the Cylons hadn’t come back…?”

Bill Adama: “But they did.” *pause* “We have certain responsibilities.”

Laura Roslin: “Yes, we do, Sir. And… I will be back in a few days, and if you’d like, we can talk more about that night. Bill? The answer’s yes. I absolutely would’ve built the cabin.”

Kiss the fourteenth, in a rush of adrenaline.

For All Mankind, Margo x Sergei. AU set a little ahead of S4, but diverges from S3. Margo had never wanted to go to space.
