I had the thought as Starbuck and Six were beating each other up that this episode was very much driven and carried by the women. To which I say, hell yeah.
Damn straight! :D
I was thrown by Helo's protective jump, too. I hope we see more explanation/resolution of that in S2.
I'm glad it wasn't just me.
The whole two-parter was about both Adama and Roslin making bad decisions, as Lee put it.
Good point.
He already put himself way out of line with that move, and he knew it - and that was what brough her to capitulate and avoid bloodshed. I have to wonder if part of his motive was to get just that to happen,
I don't think he expected her to do that. JMO
and I think she folded more in his interests than hers.
I think it was probably her objective to avoid bloodshed, including Lee's. I'm just not sure I think it was the right move, either stratgically or politically. Letting the military commander arrest the president because he doesn't agree with what she did seems like a very bad precident to me.
