Talk:Kara Thrace

message: Pardon my nerdiness for a moment... There are some other minor similarities between the two Starbuck characters (Sockhoff and Benedict), which may or may not be worth mentioning in the article.  For example, each of them is foretold of a special destiny (Thrace in her encounters with the hybrids, Starbuck in his encounter with the Seraphs in "War of the Gods").  Along the same lines, both of them are referred to as angels (we'll see how that pans out for Thrace in the series finale).  I'm pretty sure that's a deliberate coincidence.  There are others that are probably just accidental... like the fact that Thrace's father was a piano player who deserted his family ("Someone to Watch Over Me"), and Starbuck was an orphan who's father turns out to be Fred Astaire ("The Man with Nine Lives"). 68.57.200.188 (talk) 00:51, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I think Starbuck's "Race" should be listed as Unknown because we haven't been told what she is. In the series she tells Adama that she doesn't even know what she is. Later she tells Lee only that she was send back from the dead to guide the fleet to a new home and her journey is over, and poof she's gone. Actress Katie Sackhoff in an interview said that what her character is wouldn't be resolved in the series finale. Ronald D. Moore and David Eick have as far as I know, never said what she was either... if they did, then we need a reliable source - preferably the SciFi channel, or one of their personal blogs. Starbuck may have started as human, but ended as something else. Calling her a human, a Cylon, a Cylon-hybrid, alien, or divine being/angel is completely speculative and should be reverted until there is a confirmation, if ever.

replies: text: I think it is speculative to list unknown. Even if her character was human in the beginning and then became an "angel" she would have still been human. There is no consensus for the change. --< Nicht Nein! (talk) 00:10, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There is nothing speculative about listing her as Unknown. At worst it could be left as blank. If you wish to list her as Human, then you will need to provide a source. Further, should you find a verifiable source, then you will need to find a source explaining that she is still human when she is an angel, otherwise that is speculative on your part. 124.214.131.55 (talk) 00:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

text: That is my assumption as well, Kara was possibly the first Cylon-Hybrid (at least before Hera), her father is Daniel (Number 7) who mated with a human and had a child without the other Cylons knowing. She obviously became something else after "Maelstrom" because we see her dead body and crashed Viper. Someone or something remade her so she could lead the fleet to Earth. Remade her Viper too. I was wondering since we see Kara vanish like Yoda at the end of the series if her Viper vanished too? Cyberia23 (talk) 20:55, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

text: That was my theory as well. However, it is officially wrong. In an interview, Ron Moore specially deals with this issue. He states that "Daniel is definitely a rabbit hole" and he warned people not to pursue it because they would be disappointed as it was not meant to be. Bendono (talk) 09:23, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I edited out the reference to Lee seeing the Raider in Maelstrom, as RDM says in the commentary that Lee did not see the Raider.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.243.179 (talk) 04:28, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Okay, as I've been watching this show lately, they seem to make it abundantly clear that she is a perpetual angel. Would those who edit this page more frequently be opposed to me acknowledging this with the category of Fictional angels? Yay? Nay? DarthBotto talk•cont 09:39, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
