At the Caprica roundtables, we finally got to sit next to Ronald D. Moore. And we couldn't resist asking him: What was the deal with Starbuck at the end of Battlestar Galactica? Here's what he said.
Our Favorite BSG Fan Theories
It's not just Moff who's offering up crazy ideas
Starbuck To BSG Viewers: "Hey, I'm Up Here."
Apparently, Starbuck's gotten taller, or we've gotten a lot more breast-obsessed, going by this new Battlestar Galactica poster. And meanwhile, it turns out Felix Gaeta's sexual orientation isn't quite what you've heard. Spoilers ahead.
The True Meaning of Starbuck's Bonfire
No, it is not a Battlestar Galactica spoiler if I tell you that there is an image of Starbuck and a bonfire in the "coming soon" scenes for the second part of "Revelations," the stunning episode that ended the first half of season 4 over a week ago. Though both parts of the episode were meant to be shown back-to-back,…
When Did Battlestar Galactica Jump The Shark?
The reboot of gritty robot-apocalypse show Battlestar Galactica was a breathtaking revelation, with its complex characters and hard-edged political allegories. And we didn't miss any of the glitzy 1970s baggage that the show jettisoned. But over the past three and a half seasons, little bits of schlock have started…
Bring Back the Old Starbuck Please
As we anticipate tonight's episode of humans vs. robots show Battlestar Galactica with this preview clip, I have one hope. And that is that we'll get our old Starbuck back, the one who was a total badass and fought blonde amazon cylon Six on Caprica with her bare hands and repeatedly killed the cylon Leoben who…
Is Starbuck The Worst Commanding Officer Ever?
Starbuck continues to make some weird command decisions, in this clip from tonight's Battlestar Galactica, "The Road Less Traveled," which just went up on Hulu. It's like Apollo slipped her some cubits to make his stint as commander of the Pegasus look great by comparison. But at least she's not about to elect a Cylon…
Is Battlestar Galactica Full Of Clues?
How many times do you watch every episode of Battlestar Galactica? The answer may depend, not just on how much you enjoy hearing Edward James Olmos' smoky rasp, but also on how eager you are to freeze-frame key moments every episode in search of clues. If you look hard enough, there are little details in recent BSG…
Super-Fast Evolution Means Capricans Would be Hideous, Not Hot.
Brace yourselves, Battlestar fans: in real life Starbuck would probably be ugly as sin. Think more like a Ferengi, less like a supermodel. So would anyone else from the 12 Colonies, most likely. That's the implication of a new study of evolution here on Earth, which shows that natural selection can work at break-neck…
A Major Showdown, From Tonight's Battlestar Galactica
Admiral Adama and Starbuck have their tensest moment yet, in this clip from tonight's all-new episode of Battlestar Galactica. It's not that spoilery if you've seen last week's episode — in a nutshell, the actions Starbuck took last week don't seem to have improved her situation at all. The new episode will be…
