Starbuck's final fate - one theory, and similarities to other media SF?
A link on Latteaddict's great post regarding the Lee/Kara relationship on BSG has made me come to a new conclusion regarding the character of Starbuck. This is spoilery speculation with MAJOR spoilers for Babylon 5, Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and Galactica 1980.

The *next* president on BSG
I wouldn't like anything bad happening to Lee Adama at the end of BSG, but if by chance he decided to leave politics (you know, if he married a certain pilot whose peccadillos might make it a lil' harder to be reelected ... or if he wanted the chance to raise a real family ( Read more... ) -
