I remember when they had that episode where Starbuck was in one of those "baby" hospitals the cylons set up on Caprica to mix breed with the humans, they took something out of her. Knowing that she was a favorite of Adama, maybe they cloned her with the view that she would bring destruction down on all who followed her.
She is not a cylon or a replicant, she is a clone in a captured viper made to look like her own. That way the corpse in the cockpit was the real Starbuck as ther tags was still attached with Zaks ring.
I agree someone is pulling strings here. Something we have not seen yet. Remember the classic series with the Emperor? Are we going to see something similar? We saw human experiments and classic cylons once before.
I can just hear the rumor mill starting to crank up.
