June 12, 2008 - Want to know who the final Cylon is? Do you want to know really, really badly? Well, punk, I have news for you: you have to wait until next frakking year. TV Guide is reporting that Executive Producer Ron Moore broke the news Wednesday night at a special screening in Los Angeles.

The series won't be returning until "the first of the year," he said. This is due to the realities of post production, as well as competition from new fall shows and sports. Perhaps understanding how this will play with the fans, Moore added, in what TV Guide refers to as an apologetic tone, "Realistically, there's no way to get back on the air faster." TV Guide also points out that Moore told them the final scenes of the series were being shot now. This gives the internet about 6 good months to leak the end of the show?

IGN TV's Eric Goldman was at the same event as TV Guide and spoke with NBC Universal exec Bonnie Hammer. "We don't have a locked in schedule yet," she said in response to the question of when the show will return. "We just know that it's always better to leave the fans just titillated a little bit, but it will definitely be back." Most fans will likely agree that titillated is one thing, and waiting until next year is something else entirely.

:cry:y:

you act like "next year" is 12 months away... just turned summer, get out of the house, some shows will be on in the fall.... heroes... and 3 months after that we will be able to continue to the end of BSG,

seriously I don't think "earth" was "earth" maybe mars, $20 says the "face on mars" is a downed cylon baseship

While it's true 2009 is only 6 months away, Sci Fi hasn't given a date when it'll start it up again. It may not be until April or May of next year again. And yes, we have Heroes and all the other shows coming back in a couple months or so, not to mention Atlantis for us Stargaters.

And that was def. "our" Earth, whether it remains that way, who knows. I smell a Star Trek reset coming up sadly, but that's just me.

Added spoiler tags, just in case.

WOW! just WOW

I so wish I had a time travel machine so I jump in future to watch the rest of the season.

I obviously knew they will not reveal the fifth cylon. But what I cannot stop thinking about is when D'anna says something in the lines of "no, the fifth cylon is not in the fleet. There are only four."

What the hell!? My friend thinks the fifth cylon will be found on the earth (sending the signal) lol I doubt that..

I think maybe the fifth was not on the fleet when she said that (was one of the hostage). She did not reveal the fifth because either the fifth told D'anna not to or D'anna understands the hesitation of the fifth revealing his/her identity.

10 / 10 episode !!!

So it seems the 13th Colony killed itself, or another race of aliens wiped them out. I'm hoping for latter, then we can see a human/cylon vs aliens. haha, just kidding.

13th Colony killing themselves seems to be the most accurate event because the evidence is all around us. We will all definitely end up killing each other for any random reasons. :no: Oh, humanity...do you ever surprise us?

I have to agree with one the above poster's friend. I think the 5th Cylon is from the 13th Colony who is responsible for the deaths of the 13th Colony. Remember the prophecy:

""And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering....""

But the problem with that approach is the whole idea of "Last Supper" and the fifth cylon being Judas "the betrayer". You cannot put some random character on earth and make him/her the fifth cylon.

On second thought, what if the fifth cylon who used to be in battlestar fleet died, got re-downloaded and then went and found earth. Its a long shot..

One thing that irks me is that all five were supposed to find the way to Earth, which didn't happen and they didn't really find it, something just... turned on *gasp* ooOOoo that's big :yawn:

I like where the story is going, but the fifth Cylon bit is getting stretched out. Finding out what happened on Earth and the impact it has on the truce between Man and Cylons would be affected, bringing them closer to repeating the same tragedy and upon the brink of destruction, stopping themselves (like last night's episode). That's where I think it's going, but we'll see. Moore likes to throw random twists in the story, so I could be way off.

That, and we still have the mystery of Kara Thrace leading humanity to its 'end', says the Hybrid.

I'm curious to know, though--is the Earth they found 'our' Earth, or a made-up Earth just for BSG? I mean, they could say that the 13th Colony settled there a long time ago, and created the Earth we know today, and when the fleet got there is a time in our future, long after humanity [on Earth] met its end, as we might someday face.

I don't know, I just know that I can't wait for the rest of the season!

Wikipedia says there will be webisodes like the resistance to bridge the gap between epp 10 and 11 (12 and 13 if you count razor)

I wonder what direction they are going to go in now. they certainly did not give much away for where they are headed unlike the direction changer at the end of series 2.

At least we found out that most of the guesses as to the last of the 5 were wrong if the 5th aint in the fleet then dualla and zarek are out

Still it is taking a bit long to tell us, i was half expecting at that start of that episode when it says "one will be reviled" for them to add on "tonight"

    • How can it beat a Steam machine without a serious GPU? The two CU iGPU only provides about 5fps in gaming. That's not going to make any gamer happy.
    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
