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.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The podcast barely even mentions Anders, surprisingly enough.

I googled "Anders must die" and found an "Anders must die" thread on the SciFi BBoard: [link]
Some have taken to calling him "Blanders."
From the thread:
Yes I'm a proud member of the kill Anders club. Especially because the only reason he made it into the show was because Katee wanted him - that's a bad show for the show's creativity.
Huh? Are they talking about how Katee wanted Starbuck to get laid (IIRC)?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's especially weird, given Apollo's great traumatic lost love last week. Which was so traumatic last week, but not even a thing this week.

I feel like I need to watch both "Ethon" and "Scar" over again, which is not true of some recent episodes....

I agree that they could have spaced out "Black Market" and "Scar" better. But there was plenty that I liked: I loved that conversation between Starbuck and Boomer. I loved the Helo-Starbuck interactions. The pretty flippy ships!
Cat is an annoying character. . . or am I just seeing her from Starbuck's POV? I did like it when she actually did stuff that showed she could and wasn't just a loudmouth.
I think that they actually did need to show that Kara hadn't forgotten Anders (whatever you might think of him) -- but why right after last week? Perhaps they should have shown Scar last week, re-thought Black Market and shown it later or maybe, had a different vehicle that shows more examples of Apollo being messed up even before the whole blackbird thing.
(I'm very sad that they don't have the blackbird - - should they be making another one?)
SG1- it was very odd to see the Cylon PR guy. . .and SGA was totally "Look at the Princess".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.
Thing is, so does she, which is what I liked about it. I don't think the ep would have suffered without Anders in it, but I liked that her reaction to the flashbacks was also "WHAT THE FRACK! STOP IT!"

The Blackbird was so very actually useful, I don't see why they're not trying to replace it. Especially because they have Spaceship Designer Guy from the Pegasus to help it be even better.

I'm willing to handwave that they might not have all the right materials to hand to set up a regular production line, because it might make it way too easy to get the drop on the Cylons plotwise. But it would make sense to replace it if they at all could, or at least give us a reason why they can't.
