Ah, but that's just it! Battlestar Galactica is unique in that it doesn't have typical writers or marketing. Proof of that is in things like the "one year later" move, completly balls out and a complete gamble. Most shows, like CSI or Lost, would cash anf burn with a move like that. BSG is more popular than ever. Maybe audiences are tired of being pandered to and predictibility. Yes, it would be easy as hell to kill Anders. Will they? I haven't the faintest idea because this show keeps me on my toes.
Anders could have plenty of flaws: competitiveness, vengence, flip flopping, being a renegade, not answering to anyone, etc. etc. They all might have been hinted at. But, you have to remember, not all main characters are flawed. Dualla really isn't a flawed character. She's a moral compas for both the Adamas. Her relationship with Lee is her beiong perfect, and Lee being fat. Anders could be a good masculine balance to Deedee.
