This is simply a tribute to the fictional character Lt. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, as portrayed by actress Katee Sackhoff. All lines used in this tribute were actual dialogue from scenes featuring Starbuck in various episodes of Battlestar Galactica, which recently concluded its 4 year run with the finale on March 20, 2009. I simply gathered them from various sources over the Internet including Sci Fi channel, Battlestar Wiki. org, various news websites that reviewed the series as it progressed towards the finale. All creative rights belong to and are copyrighted to the Sci Fi channel, NBC, and its associated affliates. I only intended their use on this page as a tribute to my favoite character.
Showtime, People!
The pilots refer to me as Starbuck,
You may refer to me as ‘God’.
Like the old man says,
Sometimes you gotta roll the hard six.
Out of the box is where I live.
After they attacked, I never…
I never pined over any of my old crap
Never missed it.
Stupid view of the parking lot.
Broken toilet in the bathroom
You know, everyone I know is fighting
To get back what they had
And I’m fighting
‘Cause I don’t know how to do anything else.
Ten thousand light years from nowhere,
our planet shot to pieces, people starving,
and I’m gonna get us in trouble? 
Starbuck to all vipers -
do not fire…
repeat, do not fire!
I am a friendly, okay?
We’re all friendlies.
So, let’s just…be friendly.
What’s the charge this time?
Striking a superior asshole.
You are a better person than I am
Because if I found out that you’re a Cylon
I’d put a bullet between your eyes.
Attention on deck!
That means on your feet, nuggets!
Can I make a suggestion you won’t like?
You love me, you can’t take it back,
There are no takebacks
Me in a dress is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I have my flaws
Gods, I have to cheat
Just to keep the pieces
All nice and neat.
Lee says when I take a souvenir,
I don’t screw around.
It’s funny though,
After all we’ve been through,
We are right back where we started.
You’re the CAG, and I’m your hotshot problem pilot.
I guess that’s all we’ll ever be now, huh?
It’s the end of the world, Lee.
I thought I should confess my sins.
The bird’s on the deck.
I’m on the deck.
I don’t know what you’re bitching about.
So life’s a bitch
What do you want to do
Cry about it?
Its not going to last forever, alright?
Earth is out there.
I retrieved the Arrow of Apollo for you
Based on a vision! A vision!
You wanna tell me what the hell you were thinking?
Lords, it’s Kara Thrace. I’m runnin’…
Running a little low on O2
And I could use a lucky break…
No? OK, just thought I’d mention it.
Frak!
There must be some kind of way out of here.
We’re going the wrong waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Look, a close call like that?
That’d mess with anybody’s head. Alright?
You know, it turns out I didn’t need you anyway, so…
Let’s just be glad that we both came back alive, alright?
Frak me. Are you… alive?
Hybrids call me the harbringer of death
So where do you want to go when you bite the big one?
I wanna go right there, next to Kat.
Leoben says it has happened before
And will happen again
Baltar says I’m an angel
I have a destiny
I’ve been told that by a Cylon remember?
Sam says he’ll see me on the other side.
Kara Thrace and her special destiny?
It sounds more like a bad cover band, Sam.
Forgive me if I don’t say thanks.
I write my own destiny.
Frak!
What am I??
Don’t freak out
It really is me
It’s gonna be okay
I’ve been to Earth
I know where it is
And I’m going to take us there.
Nothing but the rain
So I’m going to grab my gun
And bring in the cat
I just know that I am done here.
I’ve completed my journey,
And it feels good
So Say We All
Okay, you’ve been fun,
You’ve been a great audience
Dismissed!
To Ron Moore – THANK YOU for a genuis of a great FRAKKING Ride
To the Cast – EJO, Mary, Jamie, James, Tricia, Grace, Aaron, Hogan, Kate V., Trucco, and Tamhoh. You all won’t be easily forgotten – it’ll be hard to imagine you all taking on different roles outside of BSG.
Lucy Lawless, Dean Stockwell, and Richard Hatch – wow, such brillant bad ass characters!
Last, but not least..
To Katee Sackhoff, who played Starbuck, you deserve a Cosmos Emmy for the many facets you brought to Starbuck. You’re right up there on my list with Lucy Lawless, aka Xena.
So Say We All!
