Provenance

Taken directly from the set of the NBC/Universal production, Battlestar Galactica, by Propworx staff.

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 is a 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. 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.
