You guys do realize that the name of Starbuck in the original BSG was probably a name-drop reference type thing to Moby Dick, right? I mean, even when scifi was chees(..ier?), they still liked to include little literary bits once in a while. Forbidden Planet for instance includes freakin' Shakespeare references (I think to The Tempest if I'm not mistaken?). Heck, the ORIGINAL scifi as it were, Mary Shelley's "Frankstein"? Was subtitled "A Modern Prometheus", which references way the heck back to ancient Greek myth. It's not at all impossible for it to be a reference to both things. Or, by referencing one, accidentally referencing the other. Um.
