The Return of Starbuck


is a misleading title.

He did not return to the fleet.

It was Starbuck's return to the "show" I am guessing. Also by mentioning his name in the title, it's a major drawcard to get the original series fans to watch it.

Not really. It just meant to refer to returning to see what had happened to the pilot. Or more of a revisiting of his character. When the teaser for the spisode aired it was clear that Starbuck was on a planet but there no was no suggestion that he would return to Galactica. That actually did occur however in the Telefilm version of the episodes, Return of Starbuck and Experiment in Terra when the first half of the episode was edited material from Return of Starbuck was edited into the storyline of Experiment in Terra. All references to Dr. Zee (as a baby) and Angella (pronounced as Ann Gella)were omitted, as well as Cy, Starbuck did manage to make a craft out of his viper pod and a cylon engine, and he returned to the fleet in time to help Apollo with the incident on Terra.
