Resurrection Ship Part 1 and Part 2

just when I thought that President Roslin was the worst leader ever, Admiral Kane steps in. She abandons civilians after stripping their ships for parts. She condones her officers treating the "skin-jobs" hidden in the fleet like punching bags.

So, does Commander Adama step in line with military protocol and obey Admiral Kane? Or does he kill her and pretend like she never existed? Hard decision. But hasn't the Galactica Fleet been through enough? And haven't they learned that in a post-apocalyptic situation like this, the military cannot institute marshall law and expect the survivors to flourish (or even want to survive). And democracy, though a wonderful thing in peace time, isn't always the best option when you have tons of people searching for a new home in a war-like situation. So, how do they survive?

Luckily, Commander Adama doesn't have to make the hard decision. Remember the Six that she kept alive on the Pegasus only to torture her. I have a feeling that if the Six has the opportunity, she will kill Admiral Kane so no one has to get their hands dirty. Phew.

So, I wonder if you can really call the Fleet a democracy.

Spoiler alert. President Roslin killed democracy the second she decided to rig the election in order to keep Gaius Baltar out of office. (Of course, she got caught, Baltar won anyway, and things ended horribly.)
