i was glad to see they did'nt chicken out and just make defectors from pegasus. i think zarek makes a good case.the average joe does'nt know he's had "his hand in the jar" as adama says. it seems like a fact that adama and roslin DO kinda keep secrets and ARE making decisions to stay in power.they are doing it because they think it's the right decision but those decisions have been a disaster. we know as viewers that all the prophecy stuff will come true at least somewhat. roslin was'nt seeing snakes just from the drugs,y'know. but for the characters, they have been follwing a president's religios prophecy. think how insane that is. "funny how we turn to the cylons for help when her prophecy turns out to be a bunch of crap." "we then turn to the people that destroyed 99 percent of our species?", or something like that. for each individual that's my mom, my dad, bro,sister,spouse,children. hell no. i would love to be a marine rushing the cic to arrest adama. from their prospective he absolutely should be punished. roslin should be airlocked or worse. i actually think it was very unrealistic that someone did'nt kill her when she was jogging.
ofcourse, in the end all will be revealed. loving the show. it DID need a kick of action big time.
