^ 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.

    • This makes me think of Dune for some reason.
    • I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
