It's not enough that she gets it, by being her sex toy husband, Anders gets a free-pass too on everything he does these days. Sigh. Alas. Notice how, when Lee commits mutiny, everyone in the fandom calls him a spoiled prick and there are consequences he needs to face? Notice how, when it's Kara, Sam or Helo, they're right and everyone else is wrong and that's just the way it is? (Ok, I'm overstating things a little, but you see the point...) Sam was never soldier material... Sorry, but that's just the way I see it.
In the past, I've argued that Cylons could never measure up to humans because of their immortality. Ditto. What's the point of living when you can do just start over again at the end? How does that encourage you to make choices to better yourself and the world around you?
Lee's sworn-in is not a cut scene after all! This makes me very happy. *g* The question is, what is he being sworn-in as? VP?
There's a spoiler about that at the Patriot Resource, but I won't say more here in case you don't want to know.
But what about Zarek?! Hmmm, maybe the Colonials have a law that says VP cannot succeed President? That will explain why Roslin, not Zarek succeeded Baltar's presidency after he went missing.
I think that they explained that by saying that Zarek, while popular among some fringes of the population, wouldn't be widely followed, and more importantly, that Adama and the military at large would never go for it. He could stay as VP, but if he tried to remain President, Adama would just refuse to support him. At least, that's how I fanwanked it, lol.

Very thought-provoking post, btw. :)
