If it had been this season's Col. Tigh, he'd have ripped her arm off, taken a couple of bites out of it, and beat her to death with what was left.
This is one scary guy. We finally get to see why Adama keeps the old boy around.
Yet again, he gets undone by his scheming wife. Also too, he handles the reins with heavy hands. When the Cylons attacked the twelve colonies, he would have gone back. When Adama was shot, he declared martial law, taking down the civil government. He certainly has the guts to make the tough calls, but he'll bite off his own nose despite his face at times, meaning his command lacks balance.
