Battlestar Galactica or BSG for short, is a franchise of American science fiction films and television series, the first of which was produced in 1978. Season 2 of the reimagined series was rated by TIME magazine as the best TV series of 2005. It was that series which raised many discussion points relating to life, philosophy and religion among watchers. It is the title of series of book adaptations, original novels, comic books and video games have also been based on the concept. A reimagined miniseries aired in 2003, with a 4 season television series starting in 2004 and continuing onto 2008-2009.

All of the Battlestar Galactica productions share the same premise: In a distant part of the universe, a civilization of humans live on planets known as the Twelve Colonies. In the past, the Colonies have been at war with a cybernetic race known as the Cylons. With the help (knowing or unknowing) of a human named Baltar, the Cylons launch a sudden sneak attack on the Colonies, laying waste to the planets and devastating their populations. A few thousand of the human survivors flee into space aboard any spacecraft they can reach. Of all the Colonial Fleet, the BSG appears to be the only military ship that survived the attack. Under the leadership of famed military leader Commander Adama, the Battlestar Galactica and its crew take up the task of leading the ragtag fugitive fleet of survivors into space in search of a fabled refuge known as Earth.

Now nearly halfway through the fourth and final season of the Battlestar Galactica reimagined series, fans are fiercely theorising and debating as to who the final Cylon is and how the hell will they get to Earth (or when)? Who is Kara Thrace (Starbuck)? What does "harbinger of death" mean in relation to Starbuck?
