Where can I find the promo for the next episode? I checked YouTube and such and didn't find it, and it doesn't seem to be up on SciFi.com. [Actually, judging from their Battlestar page, they have Sine Qua Non listed as the next episode. Are we taking another week off?]

[edit] Never mind, it seems they just haven't updated the site for this week yet.

You mean this promo?

D'anna tells Roslin that she's one of the five. If this were true, then why would they reveal the biggest question in a preview? It's a lie!

could be a llie, but then why would it? the only other possibility is that Adama is the fifth. But he was aboard when the four heard the noise. Then Roslin wasn't on the Galactica then. Roslin is the fifth. Someone may have messed up revealing it in the preview. Or there is a bigger reason why Roslin is the fifth. My money is on Roslin being the fifth. I gave up on Starbuck being the fifth.

I highly doubt that the promo was an edit slip. I'm sure Moore wouldn't have approved of it if it were true. Who the fifth Cylon is is by far the biggest secret in BSG, so to reveal it from a 30 second promo is just dumb at best.

Still does not prove it other wise, or rather disprove it.

Didn't Moore or someone say that the final cylon wasn't on the Last Supper poster? If so, then it can't be Roslyn, and it simply was clever editing to mislead us.

Just like all the other promo 'reveals', I think that this one is just clever editing: D'Anna saying what she said, and then a cut to Roslin, making you think something [that you thought you already knew], but in reality it's probably something way different.

And thanks for the promo, for some reason I was thinking the name of the episode was the name of another show.

My impression of the promo clip was Roslin was a shocked response to someone else in the room being outed as a cylon, my bet is D'anna is delivering the revelation that either Torry or Anders is one of the final five, both were on the basestar if when it jumped away if I remember correctly. I'm sure they want to keep the saber rattling going for a few more episodes before revealing the final one.

Ah, that's an excellent observation!

The only major characters on the Basestar I think were Roslin, Baltar, and Helo. Plus all the workers with the Vipers; I'm not sure if there were any major characters in that part. Tory was shown in the newest episode with Lee, so she wasn't on the Basestar.

It's entirely possible that D'Anna was just outing Anders.

That's the most probable explanation. I have a feeling that the known 4 are going to get outed to the characters one by one (in a painfully slow way just for us) before we get to find out who the fifth one is.

Actually I think you are right.

    • 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.
