ok, most of that was completely meaningless to me. but i couldn't read "Lt. Starbuck" and not comment. did your brain add that in there, or did it come from this tv show thing?

'Starbuck' is the call sign of the Viper pilot Lt. Kara Thrace in the new BSG series. 'Starbuck' is also a call sign for one of the major characters in the original BSG series, but I don't know anything about that series in general.

So no, my brain didn't just add it in there, it's from the show...why?

oh. too bad. it would have been cooler and supremely more nerdy if it had been your dreaming brain that supplied the name.

'Starbuck' is the name of a character in Moby Dick.

I had forgotten that...but I'm pretty sure there's no connection. Starbuck in BSG is just a pilot, not a first mate, and tends to buck authority more than submit to it, reservations notwithstanding.

Coincidentally, I did not know that Starbucks was named after the Moby Dick character, after Pequod was rejected. Thank you wikipedia...?
