Um, isn't that exactly what he was fighting against: people being given roles because of who they've been in the past and who they know.
Hee! Good point. :)
And I had another one in this ep with him threatening to kill Cally. I think it was just taken to an extreme degree and it didn't feel entirely in character. But it served a purpose within the episode.
I, too, felt his threat of executing Cally on the spot was extreme. And I've seen a few others mention the disturbing parallel this draws with Cain. It hadn't dawned on me until now, but remember the story Fisk told Tigh about the guy who refused to serve on Pegasus and leave his family behind? Cain had the familt lined up against the bulkhead and shot. Adama was threatening to do the EXACT same thing unless he got his way. Was this intentional by the writers?! And, if so, maybe we need the other Adama in charge of the fleet.
