In the first shot around Colonial One when Roslin tells Adama the press are there, you can see people who look like press. Later on, they're gone--hiding in the cargo hold, I guess?
They look like the same people holding guns against Tigh later to me. I must be mistaken though.
he was afraid Roslin would spill the beans to everyone.
I hadn't even thought about that!
As for their agreement in the mini... He coerced her into giving him an autonomy he had no legal right to. As she was an unknown entity at that point, I can see why he did it, but to expect her to prioritize a coerced promise to him over what she believes (rightly or wrongly) to be the only hope of a viable future for humanity...a little unrealistic on his part, imo.
I agree. To me, the law trumps a personal agreement, (I think Adama would believe just the opposite though.), at least in a situation as serious as this. Plus, as you say, that was when she an unknown entity. I think she's earned her right to govern at this point.
