What happened to starbuck's baby??

Starbuck had a kid back on new caprica when she was locked up with the cylon. The kid came aboard the galactica and was taken care of by someone else.

Was she a hybrid? Or just a clone human? What happened to that kid?

    Neither.

    Leoben was trying to get Kara to think she had had a baby, one created from her eggs when they were taken from her in another episode.

    The child was the daughter of one of the other colonists.

      Ah yes, I had almost forgotten about that detail. That was brilliantly sadistic...and yet somehow touching!

        How was that touching?

        That Leoban held Kara hostage in order to force her into a sexual relationship with him? That he abducted a child from her mother in order to further manipulate Kara emotionally?

        That's misogynist psychopathy in my book.

          Sorry, I realize re-reading my post I didn't say at all what I meant (I was running in insomniac mode when I posted).

          I meant it was touching in that it opened up Kara to feelings that she never knew she had (connecting with what she thought was her child). I really felt for her (as a new parent myself), and how brutal it must have been when she realized the entire thing was a sham. The methods in which Kara was manipulated in order to feel this way were reprehensible, psychopathic, and sadistic...
