The Laura Roslin/Mary McDonnell Appreciation Thread

[Maj.Tahn]

Yeah. MM has aged gracefully. She is beautiful, elegant, graceful,
intelligent & witty. Remember when she advised the Cmdr against
the tribunal & Bill didn't take her advice. Later, the tribunal slowly
degenerated into the very witch hunt MM warned Bill about. She is
tough & very decisive too. MM will blow you out the airlock quicker
than you can say Jack Robinson. I saw a movie MM was in, early 90's.
She was really hot. She definitely would have given Tricia Helfer (6)
a run for her money. Who can forget how MM lulled that super b***h
Cain into underestimating her & surprised Cain by ordering her to work
with Adama to destroy the Resurrection ship. Her performance was
phenomenal. She should have been nominated for an emmy for when
she saw Billy in the morgue. I had tears in my eyes when MM gently
brushed Billy's hair out of his eyes. That is why she is the academy
award nominated actor she is. Super talent.

Yeah! Right on!

Poor MM (and BSG) were robbed at the Oscars...
Maybe they'll get the credit that they deserve someday. After all- there were a lot of dream ballots that featured BSG heavily!

Oscars? We wish.

MM definitly deserved that Emmy, so does EJO, I fact, they should just give one to the whole cast and crew.

Oh, you're not a bad fangirl, as long as your a fan thats what counts!!!
I've only seen her in Dances w/ Wolves and Independance Day.
Donnie Darko is one I really want to see next. And she was nominated for an Oscar for Passion Fish...which is also next on the "to see" list for me...which is rapidly growing!!!
