Overview

An ace Cylon Raider, nicknamed "Scar" by the Viper pilots, has been causing problems for the Fleet; Starbuck and Kat compete to hunt it down while Starbuck pines for "a dead guy".

Summary

• Starbuck and Kat hunt down a Cylon Raider which has killed several pilots.
  • Source: Patriot Report

Questions

• Is Scar a reincarnation of the Cylon Raider that Starbuck captures in You Can't Go Home Again?
• The Fleet has obtained enough metal ore to (eventually) construct two new squadrons of Vipers: will they be Mark II's, or Mark VII's?

Analysis

• The title "Scar" probably refers to the "ace" Cylon Raider this episode centers around; all Cylon Raiders appear visually identical, so to tell this one apart from the rest it probably has a distinctive "scar" from battle damage.

Notes

• As the episode begins, mining ship Majahual has been conducting operations in a thick asteroid field for 29 days.
• Admiral Adama has dispatched Pegasus to protect the bulk of the fleet while Galactica safeguards Majahual.
  • The last time Pegasus was seen with the Fleet was approximately three days before the end of "Black Market", meaning mining this episode takes place a minimum of 26 days after that.
• Kat is now qualified to fly Viper mk. VIIs.
• New nuggets are still being trained and added to the fleet's ranks. Kat's assertion that "no replacements are coming" in "Final Cut" appears to have been unfounded.
• Pilot training apparently takes place on Pegasus, with recruits being assigned to Galactica afterward.
• Nuggets enter the Colonial Fleet at the rank of Ensign after completing flight training.
• Kara Thrace retains the rank of captain, but is now serving as a pilot on Galactica under CAG Lee Adama.
• The Fleet has found an asteroid containing large supplies of vital metals needed to build completely new Vipers in earnest (instead of making do with what spare parts they have). The Fleet has obtained are large enough supply of metals to create two entire squadrons of Vipers (it has never been definatively stated how many Vipers are in a "squadron", but based on non-official concept outlines various interviews, it is probably 20).

Noteworthy Dialogue

• After Starbuck pours Kat a drink in her new Galactica Top Gun mug, she raises a toast to every pilot that has died since the re-imagined series began:

Starbuck: To BB, Jo Jo, Riley, Beano, Dipper, Flat Top, Chuckles, Jolly, Crashdown, Shepherd, Dash, Flyboy, Stepchild, Puppet, Fireball...(stops, crying)

Apollo: To all of 'em.

Admiral Adama: So say we all.

Crew: So say we all!.

Starbuck: So say we all.

Official Statements

• According to an interview on Subject2Discussion.com on January 3rd, 2006, along with "Home" (Parts One and Two), this is one of Katee Sackhoff's favorite episodes.
