I thought the show was pretty good despite the shit ass previews they had been showing for about a week.
The only problem with the show--other than unbelievably oily Lee--is the Admiral seems to be going soft.
Mondak kind of brought it up earlier and at the time I just thought "this too will pass," but soft Adama seems here to stay, which irriates me to no end. Where on earth is the incredibly tough, but fair hard-ass from the mini-series and season 1? After Sharon shot him, he's changed from the rough, respectable father figure with a heart of gold into the doddering, soft relic that nobody listens to and then walks all over. The Grandpa Simpson of Galactica, if you will.
Helo shoots Sharon and suffers nothing? Gets in the President's face with chest puffed out and no reprimand other than weak ass gesture of the hand? Sharon, for all intents and purposes, leaves the ship to consort with the enemy and then she just flys back to Galactica with nary a trouble. She just walks off with hubby to see the doc, while the rest of the deck crew appropriately flip out over Caprica showing up.
I understand the idea is that they're family, but godsdamn aren't they taking it too far? The survival of the human race is at stake, the fate of the race to Earth is hanging in the balance and Adama can't seem to keep his crew in line. The only person who seems to be trying--or at least talking about it--is the President and they're painting her as a hypocrite.
Not to say there haven't been flashes of the old Adama, I just wish it would stick.
