Starbuck, bitches.

Sometimes I forget, that conversations had in my living room with sophia_helix do not automatically translate into having posted about it. So this BSG speculation is a few weeks old.



Kara's dad, who taught her the magical cylon song, was Daniel, the gentle artist 13th Cylon who was killed by Cavil. She is the actual first half-breed. That's why she's different and special and knew the magic song and paints mandalas.

Clearly Hera inherited a certain amount of cylon knowledge, like the song, so that is consistent.

It doesn't really explain the fact that Leoben is all obsessed with her exactly; although, I'd hazard a theory that he was possibly totally in love with Daniel and she is reminiscent of him.

Also, if the future really is cylon/human mutts, that really does make her the end of (pure) humanity like the hybrids keep saying.

Ha, yeah, he also denied that Kara wasn't dead. Although I suppose technically he was not lying. Sort of. Somehow.

In this case, he'll be all, "Wait, did I say Daniel was not Kara's father? No, what I said was he's not not Kara's father."

Yeah, there is a reason I have never listened to one of those things.

Ron D. Moore has denied pretty much everything ever put to him and it has never been even slightly relevant to the show because he has no plan so when he denies stuff, it's usually before whatever it is has even occurred to him. In this case I think he was quoted as saying they have "no connection" or something, which could be taken in all kinds of ways. But obviously I haven't heard it myself.

Obviously he is just mad he didn't think of it first.

Also I am reminded of JKR feeling the need to deny Neville/Luna for no particular reason.

[sainfoin-fields.livejournal.com]

I still have no idea why she did that, particularly since she admitted after DH that it kind of made sense. Oh the woes of being an awesome character without a point!

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

Also thanks JKR for making DH totally all about Harry/Luna and then pretending it wasn't.

SHE RECOGNIZED HIM THROUGH POLYJUICE.

At the end, only Luna understood that the last place he wanted to be was this big celebration, so she helped him escape. Because she UNDERSTANDS HIM.

But does he understand her ? No, he laughs at her and pities her and feels uncomfortable around her. She understands what he felt like after Sirius died but that's not enough to base a relationship on.
