They did a version of it on Space: Above and Beyond too.

Now I'm imagining Starbuck in a Sopwith Camel, shaking her fist and shouting, "Curse you, Red Baron."

And 3 "linear time? bah!" episodes is way much.

Yeah -- again, I liked it in this one, but after last week...

(Thought knowing that last week's nonlinearity was a last minute fix to keep the episode from sucking while this week's was in the script does make me feel better about it.)

Hey, that princess from SGA is the one who played Gretchen from Wonderfalls! Who could forget that voice? And the red-haired son was played by the dearly-departed Pendrell, from X-Files!

What a silly episode. It cracked me up. Reminded me a few of the season 4-5 ish SG-1.

And the red-haired son was played by the dearly-departed Pendrell, from X-Files!

Really? Did not recognize him at all. Almost immediately recognized Gretchen Speck, and then couldn't concentrate whenever she was on screen.

Yeap. Brendan Beiser is the name of the actor. It took a few viewings before I realized where I'd seen him before. And! The dead king was played by Harlan from Tin Man, one of my favorite SG-1 episodes ever. Ahhh, reusable Vancouver actors. Gotta love them.

Also: Jared from SG-1 = Aaron Donal from BSG.

I think I loved the SGA episode for the sole fact that McKay's helper was called Baldrick. So that would make McKay Blackadder, right?

ETA: I loved the end to BSG. Helo and Starbuck have a great relationship. Sharon was so pretty this week.

Two "beloved S1 characters feel suicidal" eps in a row is a bit much.

Yeah, that was my biggest problem with the episode, I think.

re: next week's episode - how many terrorist organizations does Galactical have to contend with? Let's see - there was Zarak's uprising in season one, the peacenik terrorists from a few weeks ago, and now some (right-wing?) revenge terrorists?

Maybe next they'll have the anti-nonlinear time terrorists. And the anti-suicidal Viper pilot terrorists.

You know, the convo between Boomer and Starbuck and the conflict between Starbuck and Kat were some great stuff. What I don't understand is why they had to drag Anders in. He was on a couple of episodes earlier on and now he's some great lost love of hers, enough to put Starbuck out of comission? The history with Zak and its effect on Starbuck made sense given the guilt and how close to the Adamas she was, but this, this felt weak. Also, I dislike the whole notion of someone like Starbuck, who's got so much interesting complexity of her own, being reduced to incompetence because she's pining fer frak's sake. Bah.

What I don't understand is why they had to drag Anders in.

ITA. He's almost turning into BSG's Riley. Which is why I like to imagine Anders getting killed in humorous ways.
