Tough writing, agreed; but I sort of like Adama being smart enough to pick his spot when he sees the opportunity.

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.
Glad to see that I wasn't way off base in connecting LL with WotG that way.

As always;
