what happend to starbuck
never see this episode what happend.
what about apollo to?
I think we're led to believe that Apollo died in combat; meanwhile Starbuck is either the direct or 'adopted' father of the little genius boy (the one who looked like Oliver from the Brady Bunch Show). During some mission Starbuck is engaged with Cylons and gets shot down, he crashes onto a planet and finds the Cylon fighter wreckage. Then he reprograms and activates the Cylon, who he nicknames 'CY' and they build a shelter and begin to construct a vehicle made from both ships. Starbuck's intention is to return to the Galactica and come back for him. At one point CY defends Starbuck using a Cylon rifle it had repaired - further cementing the trust / friendship issue (similar to 'Enemy Mine'). During some conversation CY points out that humans require one another for pro-creation and companionship - so he heads out to find him a wife. He comes back with some beautiful woman who looks like she's been messed with. Soon after some baddies (I think they were a Cylon patrol) arrive and mortally wound CY before Starbuck can finish them off. Of course, the woman is pregnant and she needs to get off this hostile planet - Starbuck sacrifices his place on the ship to get her off the planet and into space, I think he either wrote his story and/or recorded it somehow. The ship takes off and is found by some patrol and the mother dies after delivering this 'super baby.' As I recall, there is some quasi-relationship (maybe magic?) between the baby and spirit of Starbuck.
It's been a long, LONG time since I've seen it - but that should be close.
Starbuck helps deliver the baby, & Him and CY build a combo ship of Viper & Raider....Which carries the mother & child back to Galactica, But Adama tells Dr. Zee that he arrived alone in this make-shift ship of Starbuck's. The mother was some kind of Omni being...possibly 1 of those light beings from the original show.
shareThis is a cross-post from the TOS group.
The last time I had seen the Planet Starbuck episode, where he befriends a cylon (a pretty bitchy and emotional cylon) is being judged and has a kid, would have been when it first aired. I caught it today on Space. I know this was done for BSG:TOS, so does anyone know what they intended to do with this episode in context of original series continuity?
Is the fleet supposed to come back and find him?
"Don't call me toaster, meat sack."
this episode wasnt done for the original series... larson knew galcatica 1980 was getting axed and thought "^&* this i want to do proper Battle Star Galactica once more before it all ends...he was not happy with galactica 80..
one of the best episodes ever... loved the liberated cylon.. would have made a GREAT permanent character and if they went for a season 3 it would have been great to have brought back starbuck and CY (a rebuilt one of course)
There's two versions of the Starbuck story. In the original, Starbuck is left to fend for himself on an unknown planet. You can guess that since the woman was there then maybe there is some kind of habitation. This is by far the very best episode of Galactica 1980 which is likely due to the use of original actors and writers from Battlestar Galactica.
In the second version, they used bits and pieces of that story to help make a two hour TV movie but eliminate the girl and the ship is seen flying off - you assume it's Starbuck inside.
These edits have led to a lot of confusion among fans who have seen one but not both versions. Kind of like the TV Movie that intermingles Apollo getting an Earth broadcast and then some 'modern day' astronaught finds Adama's metal covered journal floating in space and learns of the Galactica's trials and tribulations.

I saw the final episode. Did Starbuck live or die? This show an an image of Starbuck and then the show ends.

Jeesh, how old are you guys?I'm 42. I'm a virgin. I live in my parent's basement. I've invested $48,000 of my income from my many decades of service on the paper route in various Official Battlestar Galactica memorabilia. It has recently been appraised at being of a value exceeding $6,000.
Battlestar Galactica forever!!! share
