Despite my agreeing with every single issue you bring up (almost -- I'm that rare bird that actually likes the way Roslin looked in the mini... most of the time... hrm), the mini is totally my favorite "episode" of the series. I luuuuuuuuurve it. :D It totally grabbed me by the gut with its emotional *sock biff* and kept me entranced with its *biff pow* of fabulous special effects. And let's not forget that tantalizing promise of tewtally hot and tragic A/Ring to come. Mini-- you pwn my soul. *siiiigh*
But yes, everyone is very abrasive at this point. Lee has a stick the size of a totem pole up his ass, and I thought the exact same thing about Starbuck when she didn't take Tigh's peace offering (but then, I'm very much not like Starbuck, and I'll give them one thing -- people who act like idiots when they interact with each other and hold stupid grudges and are self focused and don't accept apologies? ...Realistic, if annoying. And they get better at least. I love the gradual story arcs of Tigh and Kara coming around re: each other, as well as Tigh coming around re: Roslin).
And yeah, the eraser head look is not a good one for EJO.

And I think your whole last paragraph is spot on.
