I'm not sure where you're getting these flaws from. For one, Adama has never sounded desperate. For two, the "more mouths to feed" argument is your own, and not something the show brought up. It's your outlook that's pessimistic there, not the show's. And for three, how is that not a textbook case of the aleviation of tension? (Most of) our characters lost on Kobol are back, the government/military schism has been healed, and our crew finally has a clue where to head to find Earth. How is that not an alleviation of tension? How is that not optimistic?
