Laura Roslin: Cylon or No Cylon
May 9, 2008 2:19 am Battlestar GalacticaLaura Roslin – President of the colonies, former school teacher and cancer patient.
Pros:
- She was Secretary of Education before the cylon attack. Is there a better way to influence another culture than through education?
- She lies, cheats, steals whatever to do what she thinks is the right outcome. Isn’t that a cylon trait?
- She has visions. Perhaps they are cylon messages coming through?
Cons:
- She was dying of cancer and then healed by the half-cylon/half human baby’s blood. It would be very doubtful that cylon blood would help her out.
- She’s out of child bearing age. That doesn’t seem to fit the rest of the female cylon pattern.
- She wears glasses. Now, that’s not much of a big deal, but none of the other cylons have any physical defects.
Overall:
Roslin would be a prime suspect were it not for her health issues. She’s in a prime position to really put the hurt on the humans.
Chances of being a Cylon: 8%
