Dirk's just trying to get a job
By The Magrathean

Isn't it obvious that all this venom Dirk's spewing is just an attempt to get a role on the series? I mean, first the guy goes along with the new show, appearing in that admittedly lame-sounding "Starbuck and Starbuck at Starbucks" ad. Doesn't say anything negative to anybody then. Why? Because he's hoping to make a good impression, lay the groundwork for a guest-starring role.

But he doesn't get the call. So what's the next course of action? Start in with the ranting. Try to whip up that portion of the fanbase that's still loyal to him. It's what seemed to work for Richard Hatch, right? Dirk figures that if he complains loudly and longly enough, the powers that be will try to "buy him off" in the same way.

However, while Hatch's criticism of the new series was essentially "That's not the show we wanted," Dirk's criticism has been "A woman can't play the role of Starbuck." Hatch put in a lot of time, effort, and his own money coming up with his own version of a new Galactica series prior to RDM's version; Dirk, as far as I know, hasn't done anything similar.

What's really awful is that Dirk's trying to inflict damage to a fine actress's career, using sexist terminology, all just in order to get a role for himself. That's unforgiveable.

So I'm with Katee on this one. I hope they never give Dirk a role on the new series. But I'll wager if they did he'd snatch it up in a heartbeat, and leave all his "principles" behind.
