My big thought about Season 2 of BSG is how are the civilians going to react to Adama making himself pretty much the Military Dictator of the human race. He's had Colonial One boarded by force and arrested the President for countermanding his orders and locked her in the brig. In the prior investigation into Cylon infiltrators he made it clear that he's above the law and his word is unquestionable, even to an independent review board created by the president.
New Galactica has specifically created a colonial government that is highly remnisicent of the USA, and that means that military power is ultimately accountable to the elected civilian authority, but either Adama has just taken every concept the colonies were built on and trashed it, or this is a major disconnect between the tone they were trying to establish and what was displayed.
Adama is pretty much setting himself up to be a dictator, and since the fleet relies on Galactica for water, defense, and just about everything it would be very difficult to overthrow him. Although Tom Zarek might be tempted to start rabble-rousing. It also might provide an interesting spin on the Pegasus storyline if/when they find it, if the Commander of the Pegasus believes that Adama is over-the-top and lost his mind (in an interesting reversal of the original Pegasus plotline).
