Starbuck is the final Cylon.
"You are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace. You will lead your people to their end."
The hyrbid wasn't talking about the Colonial fleet. She was talking about the Cylons. Starbuck's actions-- finding the damaged base ship-- will result in the destruction of the resurrection hub, thus making all Cylons mortal-- in effect, leading them to their end.
If Starbuck isn't the final Cylon, kudos to the writers for setting up such a wholly believable misdirection.
Posted by Peter at May 20, 2008 01:15 AMActually, this last episode did some nice fire-fueling for Starbuck, as you pointed out, as well as for the president and Baltar (both appearing in those visions with the Cylons).
But just because they're pointing so hard at those 3, my money is still on Gaeta as the final Cylon. :)

I'm thinking Gaeta, or maybe Tom Zarek.
