Though it always bothered me that Adama sent her to assassinate this person without ever telling her the motivation behind it. I mean, Kara never knew (as far as I can tell) that Cain had civilians killed and abandoned. Which was basically the thing that pushed Roslin over the edge.
Forgot to add:
I also noted the immaturity in the way Adama handled every situation in this episode, including the order to Kara to "shoot her in the head," vs Cain's "terminate Adama's command, starting with Adama." Semantics, I know, but ... it was just glaring. And yes, it was certainly inappropriate for Adama to give such an order, knowing what risk it presented to Kara, without giving her any details. She's 'just a soldier' and she's to follow orders, but Adama had established that there was more than that and owed her more than that. I'm glad that her eugoogoly was also a dig at Adama for this.
Intriguing! I'm just reading up on the original Cain and it turns out Adama was his superior and relieved him of duty for insubordination. Hmmmm... I think I'm going to have to spend some serious time studying the original series. I'm intrigued to see how and where the new pull from the original.
