Thirty Days of Battlestar Galactica # 1--Favorite Female Character

My favorite female character is Laura Roslin.

She is such a rich, complex character with the best story arc on the series. I like how she evolves from a true believer who will take ay steps to do what she thinks is right, even if it is shady, to losing faith in herself, but finally finding redemption by the ed.

It is tough for actresses Mary McDonell’s age to land a role like Roslin in the youth obsessed entertainment industry. Usually, a character like Roslin would have either been an oversexed vamp or an old battleaxe. She managed to play the role asa real perso with real se appeal. No exaggerations.

Top notch.
