^ Gina was the Six that was aboard the Pegasus in Razor, and was tortured by Cain's officers.

Anyway, I want to see D'Anna again, too. I'm actually really curious about which of the five in the opera house that she apologized to. I know that's just a small thing, but it's been stuck in the back of my mind. I'm thinking that it may have been Saul, because they poked his eye out... Even though it was Cavil that did that, I'm sure D'Anna had some part in that.

I have to agree about this week, too... They spent too much time with Roslin and the dying woman. I would've liked to see a little more Starbuck. I mean, the Hybrid told her 'You're the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace!' and they only showed her once after that, I think... And she was in shock [understandably], but she didn't try to stop the others or anything... I was expecting her to, especially after she hears that she will 'lead everyone to their deaths'. Y'know?

And you call yourselves sci-fi geeks?? That "dying woman" is Major Kira from Deep Space Nine! That's why she got alot of screen time.

And the hybrid didn't say Kara would lead them to their deaths, just to the end. The end of what is the question. The journey? Their lives? The knowledge of what came to pass and what will come to pass?

Notice the hybrid said the missing 3 will give you the 5 who come from the home of the 13th. I take that as the boxed Zena will tell them who the 5 final models are (the 4 currently known, and the final one she saw in the Opera house) and that the final 5 KNOW where Earth is (obviously) and they COME from Earth. Why else would they come from the "home of the 13th" as in colony?

The six kissing the six was just plain dumb and didn't make sense

Six represents the sensual side of human nature.

Interesting now that the centurions have access to higher brain functions that the model in the Hybrid room was clearly having an internal conflict over what to do when the Hybrid's plug was pulled.

And she kissed her because she was about to kill her. That's why she said "I'm glad it's going to be you" or whatever she said right before she blew her head off.

Blood for blood as the Six said, that's human nature - right?

They say the final 5 know where earth is, but as far as well can tell, the 4 that are known do NOT know where earth is, so I think there's a lot more to this than is known so far.

You can't say for sure they don't know where Earth is, they don't even know what they are yet. They are all still dealing with the fact they are Cylons after all. They are machines remember, they may have information they don't even know in there somewhere. They may have visions like Rosilin and that Six had (with Sharon if I remember correctly) Just like Tyrol saw that Supernova which was the sign they were looking for, they may all hold a key to Earth that they just have to "see" or "hear" or whatever.

Sorry, TNG is the only Star Trek I allowed myself to indulge. The others just didn't do anything for me :)

Why not do a more realistic kiss of compassion such as on the forehead or cheek? I just see no need to have the two on the brink of making out.

If my wife is on her deathbed, yeah, I'm going to kiss her on the lips, but they're not lesbian lovers, are they? With the way things go in this show, that could very well be the case. There's nothing saying a hug around the about to be dead six's head and a kiss to it isn't as passionate as one to the lips. Why not have a quick orgy to go out with a bang since she's passion and emotion? Whatever, I still think it was dumb. There was nothing else in this episode that provided sexuality, so they had to have it somewhere, right? Moving on

well there you go, if it was your life, if it was a loved one. They all love each other in a way that you'd love your wife, after all they are all the same person really, they act as one and such.

I wouldn't kiss my brother or sister-in-law on the lips if they were on their deathbed. Maybe I'm just weird like that.

At first I really didn't think it was Nana Visitor until I heard her speak. I found it quite interesting when her character and Roslin spoke of death and the transition to the other side. It's really reinforcing the Cylon's religious views. They believe in one God whereas the Humans (most of them) believe in multiple Gods.

I thought "kool" Kira is on the show. Then I didn't want to see anymore of the dying woman or Roslin. Frankly I thought this past episode was a let down from previous week. Yeah it was kool that they were on the Cylon ship and working with them. I thought it was HOT that the two cylon women kissed. I think they over played Six killing that woman. I also thought the hybrid or whatever was sitting in that pool was over played.

My interpretation is it may have been too dramatic but it goes back to these two sixes having a relationship on Caprica after her resurrection and the emotional toll of her assassination by the resistance forces. If the model has as a homosexual orientation (Gina and Admiral Cain), these two may have bonded somewhat incestuously during there counseling sessions. My thought was of Colonel Tigh putting down Ellen for collusion with the cylons on New Caprica before he knew he was one... I think the scene just brings back the humanity the cylons are attempting to develop but come off as overly dramatic to the distaste of the humans who witness their version of "humanity."

I'm surprised, actually. Gaeta seems to have a decent voice, depsite some of the shakiness. I have to agree though--make him stop!

Last night's episode was really good. Tension is rising... And now the Basestar is gone, with Roslin, Baltar, AND Helo. I can't wait to see what happens next. Too bad we have to wait TWO weeks for this one. Damn.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
