American Boy

I’m just addicted to Estelle, so I thought I’d title this post something in dedication to her.

Shout out to Sour who isn’t blogging anymore but who I was reminded of Tuesday when I GOT HER CHRISTMAS CARD I SENT HER BACK IN MID-DECEMBER BACK IN THE MAIL AS UNDELIVERABLE. Math = 2 months of my card floating in the USPS ether, me thinking Sour got the card and Sour thinking I forgot about her. I did not forget about you.

On Tuesday night I got to chat with my BFF who I hadn’t really chatted with since she was here in NYC. Seeing her here was awkward at the time and I was, honesty is the best policy here, concerned that our friendship was no longer strong because I have issues with worth and with staying in people’s lives and with blowing shit up into something only paranoid people could even touch with their lightsabre, but that’s me. I realized that when I see my best friend it’s absolutely essential to have girl time with just her. I’m still getting used to this whole Girl Time concept. I had female friends growing up but never as close of friendships as I had with the animals and men in my life.

During said chat I expressed something that I tweeted once a few weeks ago but no one seemed to say anything at all whatsoever about it so I didn’t say anything more, but now that the last few episodes of BSG are playing out I’d like to tell you how it’s going to end:

Starbuck is the daughter of Ellen and Saul.

Think back to the first season, the tumultuous father-daughter relationship they had. And think to this season, the fact that Six and Saul are having a baby together. The original 5 could naturally procreate. And so Ellen and Saul made Starbuck. But that Ellen, she doesn’t have an ounce of maternal instinct so you never saw her so much as flinch at Starbuck.

I have other theories on how the show will end, but I’m very proud about figuring this out a few weeks ago so I’m gonna leave it at that and go eat some burnt ham. And by burnt ham I mean ham that I intentionally burn in a pan.

Look, two posts in one day! Just like old times…

  1. So, the “new” Starbuck escaped right before their Earth was destroyed and somehow jumped back to the fleet. (I put the quotes in since she found her remains and the remains of the viper on the planet).

    Also, what do you think of Ellen Tigh being the Creator? All I can say is “Ellen Tight?”

  2. ARGH ! SPoilers ! I’m behind ! Behind !

    Fortunately, though, I can’t remember most of the names, anyway.

    Okay, I remember Starbuck, cause, well, male is I.

  3. My only issue with your theory is who blocked Starbuck’s memories when she got ‘reborn’? She would remember waking up in the goo – Ellen wasn’t around, the fleet 4 wouldn’t do it, and I don’t think Johnathan would have just let Starbuck go.

  4. Dawg suggests the Ellen doesn’t remember her because her mind was wiped too. I really don’t know how it all could work out but they keep giving hints such as last night’s when Starbuck said “they act just like my parents”. It’s too hard to ignore for me…

  5. But Ellen and Sol also talked about how they could never have children no matter how hard they tried.

    The scene between Adama and Sol was heartbreaking.

    Only 4 more episodes! They have a lot to wrap up.
