Starbuck and Tigh are on the loose. Unlike we first suspected, Tigh hasn't gone back to becoming XO. Starbuck isn't flying. The fate of Starbuck and Tigh though makes me wonder if BSG has gone even darker than it was before...But this doesn't bother me - it looks like some interesting storylines will come up with these new situations. I wonder if this might have been a deliberate choice, since so much is happening on the Cylon basestars - to make the distinct difference between the human and cylon sides in the story. What I wonder about:The device that the scouting Basestar found in the Lionhead nebula seems to be of human origin, most likely left by the settlersof the 13th ColonyWhat was it original purpose? Was it a marker? Why did it affect the Cylons so badly? Is it just a coincidence, a ancient biological virus that either mutated in space or died out on the 12 Colonies, meaning the Cylons never took precautions for it? Was it a mechanismn to protect the 13th Colonists from the Cylons that they shouldn't even know to exist when they planted it?Is it a sign for a connection between the 13th Colony, the Cylons and/or the Cylon God?</blockquote>
