Yes, finally some more info on that kid...

I think the reason they keep killing off everybody is because they want you to feel like anybody could die - like they were capable to taking Helo (or something) in a second.

[watsisname]

Well they haven't killed anyone from the miniseries yet (as far as I can recall anyway).  I'd be majorly pissed if they killed Helo. 

[blowfish]

Elosha was in the miniseries.

[Mars]

Helo is the ****z right now.

But they're not going to have anyone left for Starbuck to lead into doom pretty soon.

Not counting Billy, Cally, Crashdown, Socinus..

[blowfish]

Was Crashdown in the Miniseries?

[WMCoolmon]

No, 33. I pulled the list off of BattlestarWiki and his description cites the Miniseries.

So not counting Billy, Cally, Socinus..

[Dark RevenantX]

Starbuck is not leading people to doom.  You misinterpret the meaning of the Hybrid's words.  She is leading them to their "end" (goal) but tends to be there when people die.  The whole death thing is exactly like the hybrid in Razor rambled on about.

[General Battuta]

That's an interesting reading, but I'm inclined to believe that 'you are the harbinger of the apocalypse...you will lead them all to their end', delivered in a portentous tone to portentous music, suggests that poor Kara Thrace is, in fact, going to get everyone killed.

[jdjtcagle]

C'mon they aren't going to kill off everybody... are they?

I bet Baltar is the only one that lives and becomes a god like figure to a young Earth.  That would make sense since the first BSG back in the 70's was basically saying that our great culture and past came from the stars.

[General Battuta]

Well, of course, somebody might still stop Kara. She might very well stop herself.

[jdjtcagle]

I still don't get why she hears music.  What did Leoben say about Kara hearing the music?

[Solatar]

Baltar is the only one that survives and renames himself either Abraham or Gilgamesh (depending on the amount of influence he wants to have)

[jdjtcagle]

I can see Gilgamesh but not Abraham...

I could see the ark being Galatica
Tribes = symbolic animals
Conflict on Earth = Flood

Being I interpret the bible literally I constantly look at other theories contrary to what I believe.  I seemed to remember one close to where this story could go...

Hmm... Something else came to mind:  The hybrids (1/2 cylon) could represent what Genesis talks about the angels (cylons) breeding with people creating giants (hybrids). 

[watsisname]

*facepalm*  I need to watch the miniseries again. 

[Solatar]

Then we have Utnapishtam or Noah.

I like the "saving from the flood" analogy, but I don't think Baltar gets to be Noah.

[General Battuta]

I still don't get why she hears music.  What did Leoben say about Kara hearing the music?

I think he's just using music as a metaphor for the call of Earth.

[Fergus]

I'd be majorly pissed if they killed Helo. 

Yeah, I think RDM's quite attached to that character judging from the podcasts, so hopefully they wont be offing him...yet at any rate.  I'm pretty sure Seelix and the new guy on the Demetrius that always argues with Starbuck are teetering on the edge.

[Dark RevenantX]

Harbinger of Death = One who signals or is there when death happens.  Does not mean the source, or the cause, nor leading people to death.  Simply calling it out.

[General Battuta]

Actually, the First Hybrid said 'she will lead the human race to its end'. So yes, she will be doing the leading.

Whether 'end' means 'death' has been debated here...except that she's also called the 'harbinger of death', as you pointed out, which is probably telling.
