Awesome, awesome stuff. I love your mind! I really hope BSG writers are this clever and maticulous, and not just pretending. I hope S4 explains a lot, but also is very interesting. Please, please lets hope its not a let-down like the matrix sequels.

Can't wait

And I love reading your ideas!

We’re given a new mystery at the end of season 3 with Starbuck’s return. That she would return was beyond doubt. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a major character die in circumstances anything like her supposed death and not come back. However, the real clincher was, ironically, that they took her name off the credits. Regulars on TV shows get contracts that require they be paid for every episode, whether they appear or not, and that they be credited for every episode, whether they appear or not. In order to take her name off — to fool the fans — they would have had to get her permission. Had she been really, most sincerely dead, that wouldn’t have been asked for.

There was some debate at first as to whether she was just a vision for Apollo, but Moore has confirmed she’s “real” and not just in his mind, and even more that she actually “died” in the maelstrom and has returned. Now we also must wonder about the heavy raider she chased to her death. That raider never showed up on Dradis while she showed up and then vanished. The audience saw the raider from Apollo’s PoV, suggesting it was real, but Apollo himself didn’t see it — either because it was real, but not visible to him, or he just didn’t notice it. But he sees Starbuck.
