BSG Roslin’s Water Glass and Pills

A set of items on Laura Roslin’s desk in her temporary quarters on Galactica in Season 4’s “A Disquiet Follows My Soul.” This set features the hero drinking glass on Laura Roslin’s desk and the complete set of eight pill bottles depicted in that episode. After believing that the Book of Pythia is completely false, she abandons her medical treatment and decides to live the remainder of her life without medication and throws all the pills and pill bottles in the trash can beside her desk, much to Admiral William Adama’s later chagrin. This set includes the hero glass on the the desk in the episode and a set of 8 pill bottles with art department designed medicine labels with such fictitious medicnes as “asmobarbitol”, “phuquemol”, and “aviloxycin.” While the “hero” or “double” status of these pill bottles are unknown “due to the presence of doubles” this is a complete set of props on her desk that pertain to her medication. Pill bottles are filled with empty gel capsules, mints, and placebo pills.
