She might have assumed that Boomer had been sent after her, somehow, by Adama
That's what I would've thought Kara's first reaction would've been-- but instead, she *immediately* concludes that Sharon (but not Helo) is a Cylon.
Perhaps "brittle" isn't quite the right word; not quite "cold", either. Bleh. Brain cell fall out backside of head. Admiral Helena Cain seems to be the exact opposite of Ellen Tigh, and I'm not entirely convinced by her characterization and circumstances either-- if she's the only female officer on the Pegasus, then yeah, she might've felt it was necessary to be extra-hardassed to keep the menfolk in line, but does the Galactica's crew have an unusual level of gender-integration, or is the Peg unusually gender-segregated?
As of midway through the second season, my main peeve is now the inconsistency of when/how individual remote Cylons pool their data together-- Sharon 2.0 has some of Sharon 1.0's memories, but not updated all the way to Cally's accidental weapons discharge; Baltar's own private #6 knew about Sharon 2.0's pregnancy, but (apparently?) not about the status of the #6 aboard the Peg; the supposed weapons dealer back at the original supply asteroid said that as soon as his current body was killed, all of his knowledge would be core-dumped back to Cylon Central so the base-stars would immediately know where the Galactica was when that happened, (but not before?); etc.
And why is Sharon 2.0 so much more self-willed than Sharon 1.0? Yes, she certainly has more conscious knowledge of her Cylon identity and her intended role, but would that nec'ly be enough to withstand the occasional override commands which Sharon 1.0 seemed to fall prey to? Or were 1.0's various acts of sabotage the result of an ongoing opportunistic pre-program ("Whenever convenient and clandestine, wreak mayhem") rather than occasional isolated activation signals ("At the next covert convenience, wreak mayhem and then resume identity amnesia")? In some cases, like (not) seeing water in the survey scans, she barely seemed conscious of her actions or in control of her own senses.
