Matlamat

Daripada Battlestar Wiki.

Sifat matlamat Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's spesifik bermula dalam episod musim 1, "Flesh and Bone", menerusi "Maelstrom", di mana watak mati, dan menerusi dengan kesan teologi yang merumitkan dalam episod musim 3 terakhir, "Crossroads, Part II". Penunjukkan dari peristiwa siri mencadangkan bahawa Thrace mempunyai hubungan tidak dikenali kepada satu atau banyak lagi tempat peristiwa dan entiti: Kuil Lima, lima terakhir Cylon, Triba Ke-13, dan Raja-raja Kobol.

Thrace yang diberitahu bahagiannya dalam matlamat oleh salinan Cylon Leoben Conoy kedua dalam episod musim 1 "Flesh and Bone" semasa pemisitannya. Barisan cadangkan bahawa matlamat Thrace juga melibatkan Leoben sendiri:

Dalam dialog yang sama, Leoben itu bercakap penderaan Thrace diberi oleh ibunya, Socrata Thrace.

Mata Mustyari

Sesuatu elemen mengatakan tentang matlamat di musim 2. Dalam episod "Valley of Darkness", Helo dan Thrace memasuki apartmen Thrace lama, di mana, di antara lukisan lain, lukisan serupa "mata" yang ditunjukkan. Banyak episod-episod kemudian, dalam "The Farm", Cylon yang selepasnya dikenali sebagai Sharon Agathon memberitahu Thrace selepas melarikan diri dari ladang: "They know who you are, Kara. You’re special. Leoben told you that. You have a destiny." Simon juga mempunyai ilmu penderaan Thrace sebagai kanak-kanak melalui diperiksa doktor.

Dalam pertengahan musim 3, episod-episod "The Eye of Jupiter" dan "Rapture" menampakkan Mata Mustyari, simbol ditinggalkan oleh Triba Ke-13 dalam Kuil Lima. Apabila the home star of the algae planet goes nova, the star's discharge is very similar to one that was observed in the distant Ionian system at the time of the Thirteenth Tribe's journey, and greatly resembles the symbol of the Eye in the temple. Only Helo had seen what is now called the "mandala" by the Fleet leadership before, and shows Thrace the photo of one mandala from the Temple of Five, comparing it to Thrace's symbol. Thrace remembers the words of the Leoben from "Flesh and Bone."

By "Maelstrom", Thrace is seeing the mandala in many objects: the dripping of wax, and as the colors of a gas giant's planetary storm. Thrace becomes increasing distracted by and attracted to the symbol whenever it appears. When she is knocked unconscious during her last flight and "awakens" in her old apartment (where the mandala appears again), a person in Leoben's likeness greets Thrace and allows her to relive the last moments with her mother. This section vaguely alludes to information that Socrata knew about her daughter's path in life and tried to prepare her for it as best she knew how. The podcast for the episode by Ron D. Moore supports this by stating:

Socrata Thrace's use of oracles strongly support the connection between Thrace and the Lords of Kobol.

Hubungan Aurora

When Thrace visits the oracle Yolanda Brenn, the pilot finds a figurine of Aurora, ostensibly a figure of worship in the Colonial faith, if not a Lord of Kobol itself. The oracle tells Thrace to keep the figure until Thrace realizes who should receive it. That person is Admiral Adama. After Thrace's death, Adama places the Aurora figurine on his sailing ship model as a figurehead. The figurehead on a ship given by Thrace may allude to a connection to the path to Earth through Thrace and her destiny, but little more can be determined by this aired information.

The most mysterious element towards the end of the episode involves the revelation by Thrace that the Leoben in her vision is not in fact Leoben (nor does it claim to be). What or who the vision was that guided Thrace in the vision is unknown, but "Leoben's" presence with Thrace in her last moments before choosing to die reflects the "Flesh and Bone" line from an actual Leoben: "You have to deliver my soul unto God. Do it for me. It's your destiny, and mine." The "Leoben" claims to guide Thrace to what lies "between life and death". Thrace then reawakens in her cockpit, and finds herself rapidly losing altitude, endangering her Viper. After briefly saying goodbye to Lee Adama, she intentionally lets her Viper drop below the critical altitude. Thrace sees a vision in a white light (viewers also see Thrace as a young girl) after which her Viper explodes.

In the Season 3 finale, Kara Thrace's destiny as a possible avatar of Aurora appears to gain support when she reappears in a pristine Viper Mark II, flying alongside and speaking with Lee Adama. The fact that Apollo spots Thrace's Viper on his DRADIS suggests that it is a physical object, not a hallucination or other vision. The method of Kara Thrace's resurrection is unclear. The podcast for this episode confirms that Thrace did die, and has returned— something that, prior to this episode, only a humanoid Cylon could do. The resurrected Thrace is not a virtual being ^[1]. If this is so, she might be the 12th Cylon as to this point 11 others have been identified and being a Cylon would allow her to resurrect.

Awas dari Hibrid Pertama

Dalam pengakhiran "Razor", semasa serangan di atas bintang pangkalan Cylon, Hibrid Cylon memberitahu Kendra Shaw bahawa "all of this has happened before and will happen again" dan bahawa Kara Thrace "will lead the human race to its end. She is the herald of the apocalypse. The harbinger of death. They must not follow her." Despite being unable to fully understand any importance of the Hybrid's warning, Shaw tries to warn Commander Lee Adama aboard Pegasus, but Cylon jamming prevents Adama from receiving the full message.

Hybrids have historically shown to be able to sense or foretell momentous events for both Cylon and human characters^[2]. Colonials have similar individuals which have had the same ability and spoken to both Colonial and Cylon: oracles.^[3]

Dalam kegunaan popular, istilah "malapetaka" yang mencadangkan hari kiamat melalui pentempuran. A more correct meaning is "ilham", defined as an uncovering or disclosure via communication from a previously hidden or unknown divine source that could not be known apart from the very moment of the source's time of unveiling itself. The babble of the Hybrid to Baltar also refers to the "five lights of the Apocalypse," presumably the Final Five and/or the Five Priests. If this stricter definition of apocalypse/revelation is used, Thrace's destiny (possibly hindered by Hybrids, aided historically through oracles) may lead to an encounter with the Lords of Kobol, Cylon god, or other divine source -- an event that neither side may be prepared to do as of the conclusion of Season 3, based on previous series episode events where both Colonials and Cylons have denied the existence or divinity (and, in short, the validity) of the Lords of Kobol and/or the Cylon god.^[4]
