Wow, this last episode ["Maelstrom"] really got some fans' undies in a bunch. For those interested in adventuring through some of the messageboards, expect the usual mb fare, plus a lot of histrionics from people who've been personally betrayed by Ron Moore and will never watch BSG or anything on the SciFi channel again. Heh. The cool thing, though, is that the strong fan reaction has resulted in some really interesting ideas about what's up next for Starbuck [if anything].
So, what's happening in the real world? Though she's got a contract with NBC Universal [owner of the SciFi channel], Katee Sackhoff is busy as shit these days. She's recently done voiceover work for Robot Chicken, just finished a pilot for NBC, is working on a Lifetime movie, just did voiceover work for a video game, as well as a handful of other projects. She also stated in an interview earlier this week that she does not know when she'll be returning to Vancouver [where BSG is shot], and would not say whether or not she'll actually be returning for season 4, due to start shooting this summer.
The gist of it is, the producers have sent numerous mixed messages about Kara Thrace's fate, distinctions have been made between Thrace & Starbuck [a la Sharon/Boomer/Athena], and no one involved in the show is willing to make any definitive statements about what to expect regarding the future of Sackhoff's character.
Oh no, you mean we have to watch the show to find out what happens?!
For my own part, I'm excited by the prospect of going to DragonCon, as it falls between the start of shooting season 4 during the summer and the airing of season 4 in January. That oughta make for some interesting panel discussions, wherein the fans actually find out nothing at all about what's coming in January :)
