Starbuck is an angel. She has been, perceivably, since the very beginning of the show. We cant really know for sure, wether it was real kara up to the eye of juptier, and then an angel, or if it was angel kara all along. Most theories ive read, see Kara as being the one true angel since day dot.

Hera was the best DNA of the last of the colonial technological genus. She represented everything that was good in both the colonials, and the skin-job's (who were ultimately a re-creation of the final 5's race of cylons).

Her role in the film was to impart these beneficial traits onto the rest of humanity on earth, in the hopes that they can break the cycle of humans and non-humans going to war with one another every few thousand years. Instead of just telling humanity to stop building machines of war, without regard to safeguards, and hoping for the best....change humanity, attack the root of the problem. Thus, Hera.

Angels don't always have to be pure and good

The other skinjobs didn't get resurrection, as Tyrol killed Tory, which prevented Anders from unifying the 5 minds of the final 5 to regain the knowledge of resurrection. Presumably a large chunk of the skin jobs died in the last moments of the colony fight (the Cavil's side certainly was wiped out, as his entire fleet was parked at the colony, and the nuclear missiles from the dead raptor pushed its orbit into the event horizon shortly after galactica jumped to earth.)

All along the watchtower wasn't anything meaningful other than as a method for starbuck to plot the correct jump cords. That it was a well known song has no bearing on the storyline at all, just a cool song.

Well, Homo Sapiens should evolve on any planet that's very similar to earth, so its not that much of a shock.

Starbucks rotting viper/corpse may of been an event to trigger her into finding the way back to earth...the REAL earth, and not the final-five's home planet. Either way, the last Starbuck we all saw, post-juptier, was an angel.

The old man would be proud.

Needs some Vipers though.

I was thinking the same thing, but after a bit of research I believe we're remembering the "Beast GTS", which was essentially a Dodge Viper...on which GTA3 and GTA4 Banshees were based. (In Vice City, the Banshee was modeled after a Chevrolet Corvette.) So it was there in GTA 1, just called something different.

ummm what about the Viper? or the Mustang?

One hundred and twenty-five heartless vipers and counting...

too bad coolhund, because the Viper line is slated for for the chopping-block in 2011.

I agree on the Supra.

This one might have awesome specs, but, regretfully, its still BUTT-ugly.
Yes I could get emotional in that car too, but as soon as I got out of it I would have to barf every time I looked at it. Looks like a BMW or other sedan ripoff, and why would you do that anyway, they are ugly as shit already.
Im still waiting for a real sportscar to show up again. The Viper is pretty nice right now, but I dont like the lack of reliability. I'm used to Toyotas, sorry.

Looks like a gophersnake.
Ground squirrels and rattle snakes are an impressive example of coevolution. Adults of some species/populations, are immune to rattlesnake venom, but their pups aren't.. and snakes love to eat them.
Adult ground squirrels (and several other ground-dwelling rodents) actively signal at snakes to let them know that the snake has been spotted, and will get bit to shit if he tries to eat that squirrel's pups.
Recently it was demonstrated that ground squirrels can even heat up their tail when they see a snake.. sending such a signal to pit-vipers which can 'see' in near-infared.
..and there are tons more cool stories:
Squirrels disguise their scent by chewing on rattlesnake skin!
and
A nice little article.

Oh it hurts me to see that Viper like that

exactly. this was confirmed on the miniseries commentary track by Ron D.Moore and in my opinion both livened the show up as well as made it more realistic (I know, that's an almost impossible feat - 1/3 sarcasm).

>> ^uhohzombies:
In the original pilot mini-series script, Kara's morning jog includes the lines "Whaddya hear?" "Nothin' but the rain." "Then grab your gun and pull the cat out" This was a Marine-style marching cadence that the special effects people later requested be re-used in the Viper battle sequence in Part 2. In the final cut the line reads "Grab your gun, and bring in the cat." In "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I," Kara again uses the expression "bringing the cat home".
I assume it's just a military thing in the BSG universe, and it was a moment of solidarity between Adama and Thrace, given how he sees her as a daughter.

Thanks!

when i first saw the original BS Galactica i went nuts and so did all the other kids i went to school with - we were eight or nine at the time. during the breaks we would deck together using our school tables a sort of a command center and then the other guys would take pairs and push each other on chairs around the classroom playing vipers vs. cylons - and of course nobody wanted to play baltar cause he would get beat up before the bell ringed...
