If you're referring to the

Select to view spoiler:

Tigh shooting Adama

scene, then it had deeper meaning than you're crediting it with.

For one thing, it demonstrates that Tigh isn't shrugging off the whole Cylon thing as easily as he pretended to. He's putting on a bold face for the benefit of Anders, Tyrol, and Tori, but no-one knows that he himself is freaking out about the thought of losing control --which is gonna put stress on him. It's already affecting his job (with Adama calling him on it). The others have a support system, but Tigh might end up being the one that exposes them.

It might also lead to some interesting scenes between him and Sharon; he's now started wondering how much of the infiltrators' behaviour is deliberate deception and how much is subconscious. I don't think he ever really believed that Boomer hadn't walked in with deliberate, pre-meditated intent to kill Adama (and that she knew exactly what she'd done and was playing innocent to try to escape blame). Now he's starting to wonder.

(And yes, he knows that Athena is not Boomer, but I'm certain that Tigh paints them with the same brush. Even if the Old Man trusts her, she's still a Cylon.)

The vision, and the content of the vision, colour everything he thought he knew about Cylon behaviour.
