Well, maybe not spoilers by most peoples’ standards, because I have a question about Razor, which aired over a year ago, and season 3, which also began a year ago.
See, at the end of Razor…
Major Shaw wants to broadcast the message to Commander Adama that Kara is the harbinger of death et al., but something (the hybrid?) blocks her transmission, and all they hear is “It’s about Kara… crackle hisssssss… boom.”
Later on, in Season Three…
Kara has the whole speech from the Hybrid memorized, but she never heard it. Nobody but Major Shaw heard it, and she daid. Was there another conversation with a hybrid that I missed? Was the conversation with the hybrid controlling the plagued Base Star exactly the same message as the one that Major Shaw heard?
Okay, the thread is spoiler-marked, so I’m not boxing this.
Kara met another Hybrid, from when Leoben showed up at the Demetrius, and took her and Anders and Jean Barolay back to the basestar. That Hybrid then gave the same spiel, which Kara knows.
From episode 4.8, “Faith”–
Hybrid: “You are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace. You will lead them all to their end.”
Starbuck: stares in horror at the hybrid
Hybrid: “Crayons eat the running velcro, toweling the suntan produces hockey cheese. End of line.”
I made up that last bit
I was beginning to think I had run the hybrid episodes together; I’ll have to go back and rewatch that season. Interesting that the hybrids, for all of their wacky hockey cheese comments, provide pretty much verbatim prophecies about Kara.
Sometimes you really crack me up.
Sometimes you have to roll the hockey cheese.
