Well I've got plenty to say.

A) WOW! Incredibly powerful.

B) The not-Leoben guy said he was going to show Starbuck the place between life and death not actually death. Starbuck may be gone for awhile but not for good. If I remember right in the original series didn't Starbuck go missing for awhile and then returned after having lived stranded on a planet with a centaurion for awhile? Well, they didn't show Starbuck gripping that ejection lever for nothing and I'm guessing she really didn't dream up that ship....

Oh, I'm sure he will and it will be a very sad moment, however Lee, Adama and everyone else in the fleet thinking she died doesn't change the fact that she didn't!

I’ve been wondering how and if they were going to deal with this. If you’re a savvy fan of Battlestar Galactica, you’ll have noticed how the new BSG seems to eerily match the old in the general storyline, to the degree that it can. Of course the old BSG was very abridged, so there’s a limited amount of material to draw upon and it has pretty much already told all the old storyline, from Caprica, Pegasus, food shortage etc, etc.

But one major point from the original story that had not been addressed was the fate of Starbuck, which savvy fans will remember was told in a special made-for-tv-movie following the cancellation of Galactica-1980. Benedict didn’t return for Galactica 1980, because he was involved in the A-team, so they made up a story that Starbuck had been lost in space and presumed dead. Later when the special came out, it told how Starbuck had crash-landed on a deserted planet out of communication range of the Galactica while chasing down a Cylon Raider. On the planet alone with a Cylon, he and the Cylon befriended, reluctantly at first, but then they became close confidants.

So I’ve always wondered how Starbuck would end in the new series, and now we know. It is eerily similar to the old. In many ways, the old Battlestar Galactica is like a myth told years or centuries later, after it has been embellished and aggrandized with parables and analogies. And the new BSG is like the real story, less heroic, more gritty, more real, but still the same story.

Yeah, you did. I just now read your post. But Starbuck doesn’t return. The story was told by Zee, a child prodigy on board the Galactica, who years later relates to an elderly Commander Adama the fate of Starbuck through a dream. Whether Starbuck dies is not known, but he never returns to Galactica.

Oh okay. I forgot about Zee the brain-child-fleet-leading-mutant-genius. But they got cancelled not long after that right? Perhaps they were planning a return eventually?
