Yes, indeed. There are definitely some parallels to be drawn between H/Y and Laura and Bill. The main difference to me is the quality of writing. On Miami, as much as I love the H/Y storyarc, the writers seemed to back H into a corner with it. The writers weren't sure where to go next, so they wrote Yelina off to 'change things' , with the option to bring her back. Had Yelina's character been given more to work with and been better written, the possibilities are endless.hope BSG fans can catch my thought
In BSG, Laura's character is so well written, so dynamic (in a subtle way) and so involved in much of what goes on in the show, that this in turn makes the Laura/Bill relationship fascinating to watch and the writers have so many options at their disposal as to how things can develop (some of which are currently making us nervous wrecks, lol).
Tally made an excellent point to me the other day. Miami has two women at it's helm as showrunners/producers (Ann D and Elizabeth Devine) and between them, they evidently didn't know where to go with the H/Y storyarc. BSG has two men as showrunners (Ronald D. Moore and David Eick) who have been behind the quite brilliant portrayal of Bill and Laura's storyarc. Food for thought and a definite feather in the cap for these men, certainly thus far.
