Worked once.

That could be the case....but it didn't work this time. Whereas I totally could buy into Starbuck being a punk/artist, I couldn't buy into this.
If they wanted to dirty him up a bit, they should've made him a womanizer. A real lech. That would be interesting. Watch him dodging his various ex-conquests...Dee...Starbuck...the Pres, etc. See how the women react to each other. Could've proven highly amusing.
BTW: Also, no Chief/Boomer/Helo plot in this episode. None of the actors so much as made an appearance.
The more I think about it, the worse I think this episode was. Could the show be jumping the shark? I guess next week will prove whether or not it is jumping. Back to back sucky episodes is not a good sign.
