At the end of season one we had a civil war.
**********SPOILERS**************
Adama wanted to go and colonise Kobol and use the Cylon ship to help blow up the immediate danger of the Base ship.
Roslin - now a religious believer - wanted the Cylon raider to help capture the Arrow of Apollo and go to Kobol as a means of finding Earth.
Now if we were really there...
who would you have supported?
Adama made the right choice and he is possibly still right that Roslin is/was losing her marbles, brought on by the Chamalla (spelling?) extract hallucinations.
Who in their right mind would listen to prophecies and mythology and then commit the best material advantage (in the form of the Raider) to a wild goose chase when there is a Base Star right up your arse?
I think Adama was right to bang her up, he was relieving her of command. Yes it was a military coup, but so what? Didn't George Washington and friends lead a rebellion against the elected rulers of America (there were MPs you know as well as that stupid King!).
Roslin wasn't even elected. She was 43rd down the line, hardly an overwhelming mandate to be President of the 12 Colonies. Imagine if Ross Perot became US Prez cause of the Republicans and Democrats being blown up... people wouldn't stand for it.
Anyway...
over to you....
