ONE. So Laura Roslin isn't my favorite person ever. I know, I know. I didn't hate her mostly. But I didn't see her as this do-no-wrong deity that a huge chunk of fandom saw her as. And okay I loved Starbuck but I didn't see her that way either. I didn't worship her like many Roslin fans seem to do. She's like the Michael Jackson of the fleet. People just swoon.
And to be honest, there were times when Roslin downright irritated me. And not even solely in her actions but even just her mannerisms. Which, I guess that's more Mary's acting than Roslin herself? I don't know. That being said, for most of the series I cared for her character and was sad to see her go in the end.
TWO. I don't ship either Lee/Kara or Roslin/Adama. I may have appreciated those representations in canon. But when it came to fanon, it's Snoresville for me.
THREE. If I see one more arbitrary Gaeta/Someone-with-a-cock pairing, I am going to cry. I don't understand why he gets shipped with fucking every male character, from the principles to anyone to ever have a walk-on non-speaking role, just because he's canonically gay. It makes me bonkers.
(And I absolutely 100% advocate for more m/m slash in this show! It just feels too easy/cheap with Gaeta. Maybe that's why I don't like it.)
