It was one of my favourites too. I actually liked the swift justice system that the Colonials meted out. It proved they had little tolerance for termination, and in a people at war with Cylons, that made a lot of sense to me.
One other little thing I would change would be the ambrosa. I remember seeing that bright red liquid that looked more like Koolaid than any fine liquor, which is how they depicted ambrosa in the Long Patrol. I thought ambrosa should be a dark amber, more reminiscent of a fine scotch. I don't mess with canon often when I write, but in that case, I made an exception.
