Doral cannot accept Roslin taking charge of the situation because he believes she is not qualified to be giving orders
I think it's really more that Doral is trying to sow dissension amidst the surviving humans and one way to do it is to pit the military's representative (Lee) against the leader of the civilians. (Which is actually what ends up happening with Lee's FATHER, but Doral has not reckoned on Lee's actually caring about the fact that there is civilian control of the military in the colonies :P)
This is the moment in which I fell in love with Lee too - the "lady's in charge" without a moment's hesitation.
I think my perception of the show and pilots has changed merely in the sense that I still can't stop feeling sad and disappointed and surprised that the showrunner took all that chemistry and awesomeness and threw it away. As for the backstory, I am still not accepting that table nonsense, SORRY!
When I first watched the mini, Lee was my favorite, and through four seasons, he stayed my favorite, for the reasons that Innibis articulates. Lee was something different from the ordinary run of scifi heroes, and I'm a sucker for a good father-son-angst triangle and that's what sucked me into his story (that and the Roslin stuff.) That's not to say I DIDN'T like Kara at this point, but I always had as well a sneaking sympathy for Tigh, so I was not wholly in her corner from the beginning as I was with Lee. Still I liked Kara a LOT in the miniseries and in season 1. I'm hoping the like will carry over into the rest of the show during the rewatch :P
