"Before addressing all the insanity on the show last night, I want to point out what’s probably obvious---the Adama/Roslin love affair is just another example of how television improves dramatically when writers relinquish certain crutches and fears, and instead tell stories that reflect the range of human experience. By finally getting over the rule that middle aged lovers should be shown in a non-passionate, desexualized manner, the writers accomplished the twin goals of writing some of the more intriguing characters on television and also moving forward this incredible mutiny plot that hinges so much on Roslin’s unwillingness to lead. Needless to say, congrats to them for also putting a woman into a role that you never see, outside of maybe “Buffy the Vampire Slayer"---as the critical leader, without whom the community falls apart. She’s like Jack from “Lost” in that way." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
