Holy crap.
Okay, the upshot is that Starbuck is "dead," but only for the moment. She'll be back, but the buzz is that she is not in the remaining three eps of this season. On a nicer note, BSG has been confirmed for a fourth season [due January '08], so that better be when we get a continuation of Starbuck's story. The first obvious guess is that she's a cylon. In fact, the Leoban in her vision told her he was there to help her "discover what hovers in the space between life and death," a distincly cylon locale. However, the more I think about it, the less satisfying that is. There are too many little things that make her being a cylon unlikely.
While it is possible she's simply dead, I reject that notion in the face of two & a half years of being told she has a destiny. Surely her destiny isn't to go crackers, attend a vision of her mother's last moments, then fly her viper into a gas giant atmosphere never to be heard from again.
Ah hell, maybe Starbuck's neither dead nor "dead" - she did have her hand on the eject lever. She ejected in the nick of time and the raider she kept seeing actually was there, and it picked her up. Next time we see her she'll be sharing a pad on a basestar with Leoban, maybe even finding out what was done to her back in season 1 on the farm.
If she's a cylon, do any of the other cylons know it? Does Leoban know? Perhaps Mama Thrace knew she was raising a cylon and that's why she told Kara she was special, and why she was so mean to her. Or maybe Kara's only half cylon; perhaps her daddy was a cylon, and Hera's not actually the first cylon-human hybrid. I did think it was interesting that Helo mentioned Hera is seeing a psychiatrist, and maybe Kara will want to as well [not that Helo would know anything about Kara's cylon status, but who knows].
On a much lighter note, it was nice to see Adama & Roslin hanging together. In the scene where Kara runs into them the hallway, there was a brief moment when they were turning to walk away and he had his hand on her back. They're so cute.

I'm telling you, Erica... Bill and Laura have been lovers for over a year now. They're just too mature to be overt and such about it. With them sex ain't the thing...but it does happen. I swear it by the fuckin' eye of fuckin' Jupiter, bitch!
Goddamn! Now those are the "bonus scenes" I wish they'd make available online!
