Kara Thrace - Starbuck is dead.

Sad message for all Battlestar Galactica fans.

Kara Thrace - Starbuck - the best viper pilot in known space is dead.

During a patrol over a gas giant where the fleet was refueling, Starbuck sees a ?nonexisting? Cylon Raider and pursues it into a storm system which resembles her mandala. Apollo decides to give her another chance, and offers to fly as her wingman on her next patrol. During the patrol, Starbuck sees another Raider and again pursues. Viper of Starbuck exploding after suicidal attack and Apollo confirming death of Kara Thrace.

Possible questions:

Is Starbuck really dead? Wasn't this scene a trap of Cylons? Is Kara Thrace captured by Cylons? Will Kara return?

Personally i have no answer but i wish this genial rebel Viper pilot is back.
