He called the wierd cylon shuttle a "Raider" and called why I always assumed was a raider (since I have the little ship on my desk) a "Bandit".

The Cylon fighters are called "raiders."

The Cylon transport thingies are called "heavy raiders."

"Bandit" and "bogey" are fighter pilot terms dating back (I believe) to the second world war. When a pilot picks up an aircraft on radar visual but can't ID it, it's a "bogey." When the bogey is identified as an enemy fighter it's called a "bandit."

I just don't understand what her destiny is, other than to disregard orders and commit suicide by flying into a storm. I'm all for heroic sacrifice, provided I understand what the sacrifice is for. And here, I don't."

If just seems like "Oh, let's kill her by confronting her issues with death with some spiritual mumbo jumbo and flashbacks as she follows a phantom Raider into some clouds and have her blow up without resolving any overarching thing. That'll really make the audience happy."

I need to go back and look again, but if I remember correctly, in the last few cuts between Starbuck and the flashback the camera was very tight on Starbuck's face. We can't really tell if she's still in the cockpit or not. I'll have to take a look at the CGI when her Viper starts burning up to see if she's in there--but my money's on no.

My theories, and I know nothing of the 1980 BSG, so could be way off with all this:

1) Starbuck is one of the five. Has to be! She's some weird sort of cylon that grew up from a little girl, which is why her mother hated her so much and treated her like crap. Because her mother knew...

Or not. It does seem so obvious that maybe they're trying to mislead us with that.

2) Either way, the storm was the eye of Jupiter, and Starbuck needed to go down there to learn some truth that's important for helping them the humans find earth or the cylons find God or something like that. The storm lives over some technological something, possibly cylon created, possibly left by the 13th tribe, that makes it safe for her to go down there...

Or, maybe it's the place she'll be "reborn," if theory #1 is true, and she'll learn all sorts of cool things by being dead for a while and she'll hang out with the cylons and do lots of God talking.

If I was BSG ficcer, I'd be all over this LOL!

And Adama smashing the boat! Oh god... a hilarious aside from the podcast: That moment wasn't scripted. EJO was caught up in the moment and destroyed the boat. The hilarious part is, it wasn't a prop. It was a museam quality boat worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! Fortunately, it was insured, but sitll... haha, Eddie.
