Battlestar Galactica - Starbucks disappearance explained

[lendial]

so god did it?

[pghcraig]

Cavil for instance reminds me a bit of Lilith, the women said to be the first woman god created, but she was made wrong and eventually destroyed and replaced. Cavil was a mistake, David (the eve character, or was it adam? can't remember the boxe cylons name) was flawed to, but differently flawed. Look at the cylon models that turned on one another... ala Isaac and Abraham... it's science fiction though, and i thought this ending was the most kick ass thing EVER.

[pghcraig]

Everything was parody. I think Starbuck was the Jesus figure in the parody of Christianity. Jesus died, rose from the dead... and our religion says he'll return to deliver those who believe "home." Starbuck died in that storm, and was sent back with a purpose that she didn't even know. Jesus did not know he was the Messiah either. There are lots of parallels.

[pghcraig]

I think when you watched this show as it aired over years of time, you might miss things that validate the ending. I marathoned the show's first 4 seasons, and only saw 4.5 as it aired. There were references to Starbuck being an angel starting in season 2. When Kara is held captive by Lee Yomen on New Caprica, he makes references this this then.

[Nicklnitro]

@pghcraig you clearly didnt have the subtitles on likle i just did. i faced the entire series in a month. its Leoben =] not lee Yomen.

[prcagna]

so elegant 

[magicpals]

That caught me off guard in a hilarious way. Well done!

EVERY time I play GTA IV from now on I'm gonna say "Goodbye *player*, you won't be forgotten." :D

[metalxl2]

RIP Starbucks ;( (crying like child )

[firepatriot42]

Agreed, Yes she was brought back to guide them to Earth. When here mission was over she was taken back.

If you remember when she went into the Mandala storm she saw her mother and was given a chance to forgive her and make things right.

Her mother had said that she was preparing her for something special and that she had a special mission in life. At least that's what I remember.

[CallMeMister99]

Booo000H!!

You stupid game-tag comments almost rob the scene of it's dignity.

[black25330]

ahhhh Starbuck is LD. mana mana!! everybody head to the zone!!

[damiion666]

@black25330 lol

[50Calabyte]

lol I just laughed like a mad man. You get a sub.

[cmsahe]

We are facing extintion at the hands of an evil cabal right now.

[damiion666]

I hope she disappears off the face of the universe. The worst thing that could have happened was to turn starbuck into a female...talk about being politically correct.

[CallMeMister99]

@damiion666 ... and she would smear your face across the floor, for saying so! FAIL!!

[CallMeMister99]

@damiion666 She would SO smear your face on the floor for coming out with that. You FAIL.

[billyboyjennings]

Godsdamned lag spike...

[AyumiLunaticKid]

yes, kara won't be forgoted, the best coffee will be named after her :P starbucks

[AGTLI]

@AyumiLunaticKid Was thinking the same thing when this ep. 1st aired. lol

[AyumiLunaticKid]

@AGTLI x)

[ReliableSunPower]

That last episode was fantastic.

[boogeyman664]

these series broke my heart when it ended

[fredbeaudet]

This should have been the last time a character say: what the frak? instead of goodbye Kara

[Calick]

I never had trouble to understand the finale. Kara was killed in the Mandala storm and brought back by "God" or whatever you guys wanna call it so she could guide mankind to Earth. Some cylons (mostly Leoben) call her an "angel".

I'm not religious, but this show is about the human race and some superior being saving them from extinction by giving them Earth's coordinates (in the form of a song), and resurrecting Kara. So yeah, you gotta admit that miracles are real in BSG.

[lau399]

@Calick -- I do agree with your explanation....the problem is people understanding the fact that angels have flesh and bones...which it's true!! They are like us. I might sound weird but I liked the way she ended. It was original and very true.

[Spacegoat92]

LoL, Rage quit

[lamicorp]

lee adama + starbuck <3 i was hoping for that the whole bsg and then.. she just disappeared :-/ dammit!

[Luckyduckgal]

OMG I criiiiiiiieeeeeeeed so saaaad

[RichfromNH]

Starbuck has left the game....awesome...

[SilensDiabolus]

@RichfromNH lmao logged out and uninstalled the game, breaking the disc in half.

[xHAMNOOx]

You made me laugh in the middle of one of the saddest scenes of the show. Laugh like a cockatoo.

[ThisisAliFareedshow]

Spoiler Alert FRAK!!!!

[XvxBERSERKxvX]

Damn lightning storm knocked out a fuse and shut her whole house down.

[BehelitOutlaw]

[ProphetofWar]

I was NOT expecting a Grand Theft Auto IV reference! Hahaha!

[nighthawk5588]
