It's so cool that you are watching this fantastic show and that I can experience your reactions. The depths, the abysses, the important psychological and philosophical questions will surely continue to overwhelm you, captivate you and move you emotionally... I'm looking forward to it! All the best from Germany!
Worth mentioning that Tigh approached the situation of Doral the smart way, getting a security detail to get him from behind, while Adama bulled through with a confrontation. And of course Adama knows what's going around in Galactica. He's the CO, that's part of his job.
that networked question comes up a lot. I generally think no. We have seen that Boomer blanks out and does things she does not remember. Maybe the sleeper agents do have some kind of ability to receive instructions. Maybe Doral was her handler.
I told ya guys, Adama's room is the best set in season 1 besides the CIC. That scene between the chief and Adama was once again, amazing. The way he push the chief to cough up that confession and drop that vague BS he was trying before was so good. Making it obvious that he knows what he was trying to hide. Really good writing and excellent character work.
Hadrian could have approached Adama more diplomatically, but looking at it from her perspective, it makes a certain amount of sense. It has been just over 2 weeks since the Cylon attack that wiped out most of their civilization. Since then, there have been two internal attacks on Galactica using explosives stolen from their own armory (Water an this one). After this attack, she finds out that Adama has been withholding vital intelligence from her that could have prevented one or both of the attacks. During her investigation, she discovers either a conspiracy to cover up the involvement of Chief in the attack or a systematic lack of discipline that was exploited by the Cylons. Hadrian made a number of valid points. She is going after a number of POV characters, so we're inclined to view her in a negative light, even though we know that Boomer was involved in at least the Water attack.
I noticed you said, "innit." A very British thing to say. My mother spoke "Cree" which is a Chippewa language. They use a word, "innit" and it is used exactly like the British use it. I think it might be because of British influence from the War of 1812.
