Something about that look just conveyed years of frustration to me. It was the grimace of inevitable disappointment. ;)
I would think having lost one the fleet needs the other more. Now they have Tigh as admiral, and I don't think I need to go into why that has the potential for utter disaster. :) I agree on both points. I found it so melodramatic of Adama that when he realised he was being unprofessional his solution was not to pull himself together, but rather to hare off on his own and leave everyone else to sort things out on their own. He's a far cry from Laura who talked about having the weight of so many lives in her hands.
I feel they dropped the ball at the end of S2 with Lee's depression (making it all about his romantic life when they had this perfectly good idealistic crisis) I think that was poor planning on their part. *nods* I always saw the potential and liked the idealistic side of it and frankly just kind of dismissed the romantic side (though I do think Lee is someone who fixates on his romantic failings as a form of self-flagellation when other things are bad, so that much made sense to me). But yeah, it's paid off long term. :)
