What do you hear?
Nothing but the rain.
Grab your gun and bring in the cat.
Boom, boom, boom.
Adama to Starbuck more than once.
So what the heck is that all about anyway? What did I miss? What's the inside story?

What's the inside story? Orca, There's been some discussion on this...and I even postulated a kinda fanfic-ed theory. Check the discussion out here. ragnaranchorage.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=tns&action=display&thread=1101630977Respectfully, martok2112 |

OK. So it means whatever the writers decide it means, if they ever decide it means anything.  |

On the miniseries DVD commentary, I believe it's Ron that addresses this.
He said he was trying to come up with a "military cadence styled" piece of banter that would fit the relationship between Starbuck and Cmdr. Adama.
Later, he was very pleasantly surprised to find that people working on the basestar/galactica battle from the mini had not only echoed his "throwaway" dialogue, but found a way to incorporate it directly into the sequence, especially the use of fragments boucing off the canopy as "the rain".
My guess? It's something Adama and Starbuck came up with to help break her out of a bear-shirt (bezerker) mentality.
Always did love that line, from the first time I heard it.
Hope this helps. ;D

So instead of a "SMOKE ME A KIPPER" t-shirt we could have a"GRAB YOUR GUN AND BRING THE CAT IN " t shirt. What would be a good image to have on it, Starbuck smoking a cigar? I'd buy one!
