These are those moments where you're sitting there, innocently watching an episode of BSG and all of a sudden, some horrendous or unbelievable thing happens to shock you out of your complacency. These moments stay with you as they tend to have a fairly strong impact.
Just a couple of examples fresh to mind:
1. Killing of the Quorum
2. Executing Tom Zarek and Felix Gaeta
3. Killing Athena to go back to the Cylon baseship
4. Cylon's having women as baby factories on Caprica
5. Nuking all the colonies in the first place
6. Pretty much everything on New Caprica
7. Dualla killing herself
What other moments can you think of?

Starbuck
One of the most enigmatic, annoying, sympathetic, strong, weak, dead, alive characters I have ever seen.
I am still trying to figure her out.
My question is was she an angel or not? If so, as you say, she was the most unaware angel there must be. And she was a hallucinating angel - when she was having that whole song thing with her dad at the piano. An angel seeing dead people...
What do you reckon? I mean she can't be human...humans don't vanish instantaneously. Usually.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE END...
Here are some of the issues raised already from the conclusion of BSG.
- Starbuck, the least likely corporeal and non-self-aware angel I've ever seen
- All that technology sent into the sun?? People sent off in small groups with how much in the way of survival skills???
- Adama going off to build a cabin on a mountain. On his own (or with Roslyn's grave...) and leaving his son and the rest of humanity - to do what?
- Starbuck and Apollo not ending up together (which is an interesting one, because after wanting them to get it together for the first two series, I actually think it's better that they didn't, too much water under the bridge, more realistic etc)
- God v the pantheon of human Gods, never explained, v. confusing!
- Baltar and Caprica 6 hallucinating each other - never explained.
So have a think....feel free to start a new thread on any of these or any other issues you want to talk about!
