This one is called "Falling Slowly" and it's A/R. About mid-video is where things go from great to amazing. Kudos to whoever made it. I wish I could edit like that. Perhaps one day...
*Sigh* Seriously, how can one not totally fall for this storyline. Two people thrust together in positions of power following the near annihilation of mankind. The school teacher turned president, dying from breast cancer. The retiring commander of a battlestar, now humanity's protector, surprisingly sensitive behind the military mask. The road starting out rocky for both of them, then understanding, then betrayal and finally the rebuilt of trust. Now united in their goal to lead humanity to their new home, Bill and Laura share not only their burdens but a growing affection that is amazing to watch on screen.
I bow to Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell for bringing these two characters to life in such a powerful way. They're both amazing actors and a powerhouse in themselves.
