I want to ramble.
But I don't have the time before work. *frustrated*
Short version: BSG isn't a character-driven show, it's an Issue and bad Soap Opera Plot Device-driven show with characters that are not internally consistent. (and we spend far too much time fan-wanking said inconsistencies away)
If I want issues? I will watch and episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation. At least the characters will be logically-evolved.
And, on a completely different (though related) BSG subject -
How DID Sam's people figure out that some cylons looked like humans? We're never going to know, I'm sure. It was probably a Fantastic Idea in the writing room at BSG and they never bothered to come up with a why. Something that they do a LOT on this show.
It's really kind of sad, because at one point, it was almost halfway decent.

I've gone and got lost in my own double negative. What I mean to say is I thought Adama and Cottle were out of character. Did I say that the first time or the second time? Adama at least - he stands by his men better than that, even against Tigh.
