   The awesomeness that is Battlestar Galactica transcends ideological
   differences! It may be delayed but never will it be defeated. My
   thoughts, as always, hidden below.

   ([1]show)

   Starbuck is dead. Pretty ballsy and a move it looks like is permanent.
   No amount of Cylon baby blood is going to fix this one.

   Still, I canât not believe weâre not going to see Kara Thrace again in
   some fashion. Listening to Ron Mooreâs podcast for this episode it
   seems like Karaâs destiny was to die but what kind of destiny is that?
   Maybe I misunderstood. Leoben (or what Kara thought was Leoben) said
   she was to go to the place between life and death. If we recall that
   is where DâAnna was trying to get to and, for a moment, arrived at.
   Though at the cost of her life. Perhaps thatâs why she couldnât stay?
   She would eventually be downloaded and live again. Kara, on the other
   hand, may be able to stay there. Thatâs just speculation however.

   In that place are the Final Five and, it looks like, maybe even the
   five prophets? Could they be one in the same? And if so what role does
   Kara play in it all? And if it wasnât Leoben guiding Kara through this
   episode who, or what, was he?

   Jamie Bamber gave a great performance as did Eddie Almos. If you
   didnât get a chance to listen to Ron Mooreâs podcast for this episode
   hereâs a funny bit of trivia for you:

   It wasnât scripted for Adama to tear apart his model ship like he did.
   That was Eddie acting in the moment as he had done in the past with
   equally great results. The problem was that ship didnât belong to the
   show. It was a museum-quality replica worth a few hundred thousand
   dollars the producers were renting. It was told a few of the crew went
   white after seeing what Almos did and quipped later that if he had
   told them he was planning to do that they would have built a ship for
   him!

   Luckily, the ship was insured.

   A very good episode after a number of average ones. Next week the
   trial of Baltar begins.
