It ESPECIALLY drives me nuts that Starbuck is Starbuck, because she seems so obviously named after the character of the same name in Moby Dick, but how would that work? I do love the show so far, though, so I'm waiting for them to answer all my niggling issues with some smart reasons. /nerd I just started watching Season One this weekend…I have trouble reconciling how their culture could have evolved so similarly to ours (since it looks like they were separated around the time of the ancient Greeks?).
