Is Starbuck revealed as a Cylon in the new series of Battlestar Galactica?

Answer 1

No, as of the end of season 3 she has not been proved or disproved a cylon, but there is still one of the final five not yet accounted for, so it is unclear at this point. _______ My understanding is that the Cylons are either of the nuts-and-bolts or humanoid variety. Wasn't the scrappy woman pilot who shot Cain in the "Razor" prequel a Cylon? If so, then she would be the 12th. _______ There are four kinds of cylons. The non-humanoid ones (centurions, raiders etc.), the twelve humanoid models, the hybrids aboard the baseships and the human-cylon hybrids (two known to exist). Obviously there are a lot of non-humanoid cylons and they aren't really relevant to this question. Also, not much is known about the hybrids aboard the baseships (other than that they speak what seems to be nonsense and essentially control the ship) or the human-cylon hybrids (they are Nicholas Tyrol and Hera Agathon), as that has not been explored much yet on the show. But your question pretains to the humanoid cylons. Out of the twelve models, seven are known to the colonials, and we know of eleven of them. Known to the colonials are: D'Anna Biers (3, and deactivated, aka, boxed), Aaron Doral (5), Six (known by a variety of names: Caprica, Shelley Godfried, Gina, etc.) Sharon Valerii (8), Leoben Connoy (unknown), Brother Cavil (unknown), Simon (unknown). But there are five more cylons, known as the final five. They are unknown to the cylons, except for one of the 3's (revealed during Rapture), but as she is boxed, she can tell no one. We know that four of them are: Saul Tigh, Tory Foster, Samuel Anders and Galen Tyrol. These cylons are different from the others, at least in the case of Colonel Tigh, there is a significant personal history which is absent in the seven models, they are suspectible to illness (Sam suffered pneumonia on New Caprica, Tigh is an alcoholoic) and more prone to injury (in comparison with the other seven cylons). That leaves one cylon model left unaccounted for. I personally find it unlikely that Kara Thrace would be that final cylon. Given her apparent resurrection and recent events, I think that would add up just a little too easily for this show. I doubt she is a cylon, but clearly the other characters suspect that she might be and who knows what's going on in her head.

Answer 2

Yes, Starbuck is revealed to be a Cylon in the new Battlestar Galactica series. Her character undergoes a significant transformation in the show's plotline.
