Starbuck Was A Cylon All Along: Battlestar Galactica Theory Explained

A Battlestar Galactica theory that Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) was actually a Cylon makes sense of some of the BSG finale’s more contentious moments. As Ronald D. Moore’s revival of the classic Glen A. Larson show reached its endgame, it revealed that some of the characters believed to be Colonists were actually the Final Five Cylons. This revelation was key to Battlestar Galactica‘s final season, as it provided an additional layer of tension by blurring the lines between heroes and villains. Among the Final Five was Colonel Saul Tigh (Michael Hogan) who had previously been one of the most anti-Cylon characters in the show.
