Interesting thought but wouldn't that kind of negate one of the chief strengths of HOG later on, which is all about Adama being "tired of running" because he *hasn't* done any turning and fighting since the Destruction?

Agree with that completely, and I think it's the key to understanding Sheba's behavior in the episode to begin with. Too many people who are quick to condemn Sheba on this point (often with the wrong idea that it somehow shows TOS not depicting women in a strong way) I don't think take into account that what's really happening is some intelligent building off of a previous episode, which was rather novel for sci-fi TV at the time.
