True, but man, that'd be one quickly-grown clone...and with all her memories (as far as we know)...
Or a clone... remember she had an ovary harvested on Caprica after going back for the Arrow...
My crazy theory is that Starbuck is a younger version of Ellen.
They are both the 12th Cylon.
I dunno...can't quite wrap my brain around that one...
Another similar take:
"Tigh and Ellen's daughter?" I'm sure they could write that one in. Saul and Ellen had a child after they were "reborn"(or maybe just Ellen and some random guy) , gave it up for adoption. Baby got raised as Kara by her mother, who turns out to be the adoptive parent.
I know I'm reaching. Still, it's fun to guess what those crazy writers have in store for us.
I think it'll be something even more esoteric than that... Since it freaked Leoben out and if the Hybrid's right, it's going to be something really strange...
She's the "devil". The harbinger of death. Leoben finally understood.........then ran AWAY from her, horrified!
Just like Count Iblis on the first series.
She could be cloned, but a ship can't be "cloned"....
LOL
Actually, and this is my own conjecture, I don't the Cylons had anything to do with Starbuck or her brand-new Viper returning to Galactica...
Yep, something bigger and beyond the original cylons or humans. And I agree, Kara as the harbinger of death thing really has me intrigued too!
