I agree with both of your criticisms. The scene with Lee and Adama was nice, but the "Because your my son" felt like a real platitude, especially since everything we'd seen to that point made it seem like Adama did think Kara could do it better. I guess he was trying to be supportive, but Lee's old enough to not need to be coddled like that. I'm glad that bugged someone besides me.
As for Baltar, I complained last week about the fact that his actions really make no sense, and people responded that they do if you assume that he's just gone completely insane and thinks he's somehow protected. I think it's a pretty weak excuse, though, and I do agree that he's probably the least well-written character. Everyone else's actions usually make sense to me even if I disagree with them, but Baltar I just don't understand.
