Scar is a good standalone episode. It fills in a lot of blanks about why Kat and Starbuck are so antagonistic while still delivering a good military story. Plus the reason why they are there is good for plot integrity (to mine metal to do things like build vipers using Pegasus automated workshops).
I guess to each his own. I guess the reasons why you liked it were the same reasons I didn't... Did care much for most of the stand-alone episodes. Really didn't care much for the military stuff and that episode seemed dedicated to military stuff. I just couldn't understand the rivalry between Kara & Kat; I guess I would have to be more militaristic in order to really get it...
Oh well...
