Battlestar Galactica spoilers (WARNING: SPOILERS (hence the title))

[aggiesean]

I was surprised there wasn't a BSG spoiler thread yet here. There has been some tagged discussion before in the season threads, but it may be better to have a place to discuss these more "in the open".

I'll add a few spoiler banners just in case the page preview shows some of the below:

That's better.

I'll start with a point from TVGuide's Ask Ausiello, posted today, that nearly gave me a heart attack, and is either a HUGE spoiler or a HUGE foiler, (so I'll add a warning for those who prefer reading the small ones only):


Question: You have the power to make me feel better in a split second by confirming that Katee Sackhoff isn't getting killed off Battlestar Galactica (http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/battlestar-galactica/191395).— Clara

Ausiello: My powers are apparently failing me, because all signs are pointing to Starbuck's imminent demise. In a radio interview (http://www.cortandfatboy.com/index.php?id=416) with Portland's KUFO-FM last month, Katee all but confirmed that she's leaving the show later this season — although she stopped short of saying Starbuck dies. If you ask me, this whole thing carries with it the stench of a highly coordinated foiler. I mean, Ron Moore would be out of his frakkin' mind to deep-six Starbuck, right?


Please tell me this is a foiler. (needs hug)

:Cowdance:

I would hate this as well. ANother rumor had her rescued by the cylons and turned into some kind of bionic hybird, ala the Borg. I always felt that Starbuck was integral to the prophecy; certainly Leoben has been reiterating that since the beginning.

Starbuck gets killed off! You made my day :)

I think that in the original series, or actually Galactica 1980, Starbuck (Who's currently appearing in Celebrity Big Brother in the UK) disappears and fathers that super brainy, super annoying kid. Though we've already had a child story line with the new Starbuck and I assumed that the super brainy character had been transfered to the new Baltar, the Cyclons certainly seemed very interested in her before. So yeah, I'm now looking forward to some Starbuck torture at the hands of the Cylons, though I expect I'll be disappointed. :mad:

Is anyone here interested in discussing the spoilers leaking out from the final three ep screeners sent out for review? (Leaked first here (http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3122121&st=2460))

Apparently Tyrol, Tigh (!!), Tori and Anders are led to an abandoned room by a shared hallucination and start freaking out that they are cylons. Also Starbuck visits Lee in a raider. These seem to be confirmed by some of the legit articles out there, but of course they may play differently on screen.

[Without Dane]

That's interesting. Hmmmm.

[Mysterious Mike]

Sounds like they may be taking Kamal Root

[lost_ian]

Well I don't think we've seen the last of Starbuck. With such a disappointing departure I'm assuming for the moment that she is either one of the final five or that the Cylons have a teleport device and teleported here out at the last moment. We saw the Cylon Raider from a third point of view not just Starbucks so it wasn't a halucination.

[drabauer]

ApparentlyLee sees her next week in her viper (!?). Whether she's real or just a vision like ChipSix remains to be seen, but she claims to know the way to Earth.

[Vitriol]

Has anyone seen this?

Apparently nobody in the "Last Supper" promo shot is the Fifth Cylon.

Hi Ashley. That's old news, as RDM said it in an interview with Mo Ryan, and it was repeated all over (including at scifi.com).

Now, all we have to determine is if he telling the truth. After all, he created Leoban, whose entire raison d'etre is to mix "truth with lies."

The most intriguing tidbit about "The Last Supper": the final cylon will be someone who fits mythologically with the seat in front of the chalice.

[Vitriol]

Well, apparently I'm unobservant.
