I think you have good, good points and you maybe 100% right on. However, I thought that both Adama and Gauis's behavior were pretty right on, IMHO. I think the familial family pride in Lee would be common in someone his age and he was giving Lee confidence by passing on a family heirloom to 'help him'. I've seen this is people before.

Secondly, IMHO Baltar's huge ego always put his survival in danger and is still evident as he lifts his arms upward proud that God used him.

I love this show and the writing................ Loved the star-wars reference.
I like your take on the Sharon sickness thing, I kinda missed that one.
