Battlestar Galactica: Is Starbuck Dead?

Well for anyone that has read my blog before you know I enjoy Sci-Fi. On the top of my list of shows that both my wife and I enjoy is Battlestar Galactica. The show always seems to push the envelope with great stories, enough action and AMAZING performances. Last night there were no punches pulled again in an emotional and powerful episode. Edward James Olmos had a very powerful scene at the end of the episode that will be one of those moments always remembered.

Starbuck goes down in flames while having visions of her mother, Leoban and the Eye of Jupiter. However in her visions Leoban is not Leoban… so who is in her mind… What do the visions of her past have to do with the Cylons, Eye of Jupitor and the current Oracle??? Is She Special???

The5 (Starbuck Is Dead (NOT) Edition)

  1. Special - Many of the episodes have been focusing on the fact that Starbuck is “Special” and has a destiny to be realized. She is NOT dead since they have put so much effort into this plot of her being something special to kill her off would be a strange turn.
  2. Eye of Jupiter - Starbuck kept seeing the “Eye of Jupiter” in everything from Dreams, Old pictures, Storm Clouds and even dripping wax. This is her destiny and will play out in the future. Who or what she is still needs to be determined.
  3. The Ship Of Lights - Well this episode could be a play on the Ship of Lights from the original seris where Apollo “Died” and came back. As Kara began to crash she was washed over in a BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT…
  4. The Other 5 - In a similar play with the ship of lights it could be a combination of the ship of lights and the 5 Cylons. She saw or thought she saw a Cylon Heavy Raider. What is to say they did not take her and have a plan for her that has been in place since she before she was born. Her mother was a hero of the first Cylon War… Could she have been captured and altered so Kara would be the “Special” child???
  5. The Cylon In her - Is she a Cylon? Did the Cylons create Her? Have the Cylons had something to with her entire life?

I honestly hope they have not stepped over the line and killed off Starbuck. I feel as a fan of the show there are really only a few characters that must be part of the series. Adama, Apollo, Starbuck and Baltar… The rest of the characters could easily be killed off. However the show has proven it is willing to kill of characters and keep the stories fresh and powerful…

Starbuck may you return!!!

Daily Observation: Battlestar Galactica proves again why it is one of the finest shows on TV…

  1. Hey, I’m another SAHD…also hooked on Battlestar. Come on…You have got to enjoy the Chief Tyrol character a little…the working class stiff? I like the extras as much as the core characters, although I could do with a little bit more of #6 lurking here and there… ;-)
