I don't mind witch hunt episodes, per se, but I did have a few problems with this one. You mentioned them in your post:
I'm curious as to how, exactly, Doral was able to obtain the right papers to board the ship. Are there forgers amongst the fleet?
I'm not sure how useful it is to let the public know about the human-form Cylons, given they don't have any reliable way to detect them.
I'm not sure why everyone chose to keep quiet about the relationship, as that violation would, I think, be much less serious than that of aiding and abetting cylon agents in an act of terrorism.
And while I'm touched at his loyalty to Tyrol, I don't understand why that crew member wouldn't simply state he might have accidentally left the hatch open because, again, carelessness seems to be a less serious crime than aiding and abetting cylon agents in an act of terrorism.
Baltar walking, holding hands with nothing, ranting at nothing? Why don't more people treat him like he's crazy?
Nobody ever taught the crew about getting their stories straight, huh?
I'm surprised that it took them 17 days to see Doral. I tell myself he must have been hiding. How he got onto BSG is a whole other question.
The crewman's false confession was contrived. There is no way I believe that this man would put himself in that position, merely to protect an illicit affair. If he thought someone's life was on the line, his sacrifice might make sense. Otherwise, he comes off as stupid.
I did, however, love how Adama dressed down Tyrol. Soft touch, indeed. I love Adama more each week.
