Quick, someone make a joke with the word "coup."
So, today at work, I had this really long, complicated thought. It doesn't happen often, yeah, I know. Holy awesome!
( Roslin, Adama, and why arresting the President does not necessarily a military coup make... also, a rather lame Hobbes metaphor that's also kind of perceptive, if I do say so myself - no obvious Season Two spoilers )

Keep those rants coming :P
For what it's worth: in twenty-four hours, Adama goes from asking Roslin to dance to... putting her in jail. THAT'S SO AMAZING, YOU GUYS.
I KNOW! Isn't that crazy?! They both shift gears so fast...
The Dance- it was a nice moment while it lasted though. ;D

I agree with what you've said. Lee's actions sideline me a little because he's obviosuly supposed to have some nobility to him and 'standing his ground' or whatever was supposed to be his way of showing he had some guts. Except - except I think he totally misunderstood what his father was trying to do and as a result his actions come across a bit stupid. Yes, you shouldn't arrest the President because she disagrees with you but as you clearly pointed out, Roslin negated the contract.
The fact that she has been arrested leads to other interesting questions, like, how many people know? And what happens when the fleet finds out? How many people are going to side with the her and how many with the Galatica's command decisions? We already know that Zarek's going to be a pain in the hind. And how much is that contract worth in public?
