Works for me! Maybe her father the cylon is one of the five and it's really someone on the ship... Oh, the possibilities...

And yes, I'm now laughing at my own silly imagination!

But as someone was saying above, they've done too much work setting all this up to have her really just dead and gone. My question is: how long do we have to wait till we see that she's alive? I guess the last episode of the season, cause they'll wait long enough to make us doubt.

They have discuessed who her father way -- a famous painist (see 2x02 "Valley of Darkness").

I am still in shock from this episode. After I watched it I spent a few hours convincing myself she wasn't dead. After listening to the podcast, though, I am pretty sure that she is.

RDM and David Eick keep hinting that her death will have further reaching consequences than are obvious now. BAsically, they say it wasn't her special destiny to die, exactly, but to die in this particular way, at this particular time...?

I just can't believe it. She was -- is my favorite character.

The most frustrating thing is that I just can't hate the episode they killed her in. Katee Sackhoff shined. Every scene she had she sold. And she was filled so beauitfully. The lighting in the scene where she and Lee talked sitting next to her viper? Amazing. The scenes of her in the cockpit? Wow. The special effects rocked my socks.

But really, it was the emotional journey of the character. Katee Sackhoff was amazing. And so was Jamie Bamber. The Lee character has really come into his own this season. Through seasons one and two I found him pretty annoying. But now, he's one of the most sympathetic characters on the show.

And Adama smashing the boat! Oh god... a hilarious aside from the podcast: That moment wasn't scripted. EJO was caught up in the moment and destroyed the boat. The hilarious part is, it wasn't a prop. It was a museam quality boat worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! Fortunately, it was insured, but sitll... haha, Eddie.

My wife purchased for me the complete BSG original series, in the cool cylon head. I remember watching an episode recently where Starbuck crash's on the planet, befriends the cylon, builds the hybrid viper/cylon ship and he himself flys back to galactica. I also remember the 1980's one where he sends the kid back to Galactica because theres only room enough for one person on the ship.

That being said I don't think thats what is happening here.
I love the post about the cylons rescuing her, healing her then having her wake up in a Cylonesque res chamber just to frak with her. I don't think she would give up fleet secrets but man that would be sooooooo evil.....

I usually watch BSG in bed, since I have to work early on Mondays. When that part came up, and he smashed that boat, I looked at my wife and said, "Wouldn't that be hilarious if that wasn't a prop? Someone's like, 'WTF?!?! I spent HOURS on that FRACKING THING!! What's HE DOING?!?!' Someone's gonna be paying out the arse..." And then we just laughed.

So funny that it appears I was right..lol

Neat trip to the BSG studio, with a little bit of the badger.
