Besides fan speculation, there hasn't bit a single word about Starbuck's "death."

I hadn't ever thought of Starbuck as a Cylon. That would suck. Be weird, but suck. There has got to be a catch to all of this. She is a strong character. I would think that if she were planning on leaving the show, there would have been like a press release or something. I know they are having an issue with the current time slot and ratings, but jeeze, this is a bit extreme. Wow. I hadn’t ever thought of Starbuck as a Cylon. That would suck. Be weird, but suck.

As you said, there was too much build up for it to end in 15 seconds. Also, yes, I heard about Olmos destroying the model ship that was on loan from a museum. I saw it at metafilter.com, which, oddly enough, is currently not working. Is that where you read the snippet?

Slone Wed, 07 Mar 2007 16:52:37 +0000 http://system13.org/?p=276#comment-674 I'm not sure whether she's a Cylon or there's another weird explanation, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been showing her drawing for years and making a big deal out of it for the last half-season if her whole destiny was "You're going to die in a storm that kinda looks like this." There's more to this we don't yet know. Relatedly, did you hear the crazy story about that model ship Adama destroyed? I can't give a link since even the place I read a snippet from isn't letting me connect right now, but apparently that was an ad lib... with a rented prop that was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

She wanted to see what was on the other side, like Loeben talked about. And yeah, I don't really believe what she said in that gag reel either...

Wasn't it possible for her to leave the viper by the ejection seat? Watch this spoiler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdmo_KCsutI She's saying something about the end of episode 3, though I don't believe her :P Yep, I was shocked too.
