Battlestar Galactica: Maelstrom

Kara continues to have dreams about Leoben Conoy and the mandala she painted at her old apartment on Caprica. While on patrol in her Viper, she encounters a Cylon Heavy Raider. When Tyrol cannot verify her claim that the Cylon ship struck the Viper, Admiral Adama and Lee become concerned about her mental stability. But, of course, this episode will forever be known as, 'When Kara Thrace Died.' image What. The. Hell. The best show on television just took a huge risk; a larger risk than when they jumped a year in time and settled New Caprica! At least that didn't have cast changes, and they rectified it within four episodes. Leoben has always been kind of creepy, and he played well to that trait in this episode. Along with his agency as the chorus to lead Kara to her destiny. The perennial, "she's that actor from Portland who went to my brother's high school!" girl just popped her television death cherry. What remains to be seen is what happens next... does show come back with the white-light space angels similar to the 1980's version? Does she reveal herself as one of the final five Cylon? Or does she just show up in flashbacks, or possibly as a ghost in Lee's subconcious (like Six in Baltar's brain)? We know Katie Sackhoff has a five year contract... They of course have character trap doors. She had her hand on the seat ejection. There was a white light. "They're waiting for me." Frack!
