As we anticipate tonight ’s instalment of humans vs. golem show Battlestar Galactica with this trailer time , I have one Leslie Townes Hope . And that is that we ’ll get our old Starbuck back , the one who was a full badass and fought blond amazon cylon Six on Caprica with her bare hands and repeatedly kill the cylon Leoben who imprisoned her . call up that Starbuck ? The one you call up Rambo could take something from ? ( Light spoilers ahead . )
For the last several episode , Starbuck has been going crazy in a way of life that does n’t make gumption in the context of her character . She ’s gotten all soft and weepy and has bulge paint . I could believe a Starbuck who was craze with bloodlust , but a Starbuck who is willing to bring a Leoben model cylon on panel her ship and work with him ? A Starbuck who ca n’t keep her crew under restraint ? A Starbuck who leave a mutiny to happen ?
I realize that this is a new Starbuck who has undergone some kind of shift that we do n’t realize after she chased that heavy Raider into the clouds and disappeared for month . Maybe she ’s a cylon or a clone or an saint or whatever . ( Please do n’t make her an angel ! That would be so LAME ! ) But part of what I love about this show is Starbuck ’s steely resolve and asskickery .
So let ’s hope tonight ’s episode , which will be partly about the fallout from the mutiny on Starbuck ’s ship that was look for for Earth , will bring the older Starbuck back . We need her , peculiarly in this time of Baltar - ization .
