I looked forward to seeing your analysis, and as usual, you don't disappoint.
Roslin -- Yeah! Why, oh why, did they need to keep swooping in for big close-ups of her teary-eyed face? I guess I am an AR shipper, but I still found it insulting -- does the show not think that I will remember that she likes Adama? And I thought I'd throw up when she murmers "Bill!" when she thinks he's dead. Yucky.
The whole QUORUM was exectuted! When she come down the ladder of love and collapses at the site of Adama, I like to think that she has been briefed on the massacre, and when she falls apart it is not just because she sees Adama alive and well -- I like to think she falls apart because she is truly OBE (over- come by events) -- the events: being shot at in a raptor, the frustration with the radio, the struggles on the cylon baseship, the search for the proper words to convince the fleet, that this may be the end of the human race, finding out that the WHOLE QUORUM has been MASSACRED -- oh, and it's good that Bill is alive, too.
I do think you're wrong though, about Adama not being given a reaction to the news that Tigh has been executed. I thought it was perfect and moving -- no screaming and crying, just the quiet beat of devestation. This time I thought the show was trusting me to know that Bill had just taken one in the chest (and he didn't have to whisper "Saul" with teary eyes).
