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.

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"

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      The concern of this article is not getting "hacked". No one is taking over my Google account and anyone that was is far away from self-hosting their passwords. It was about your big tech account of choice deciding to reduce features or getting out of the password manager business altogether. Bitwarden (or say Proton) is professional security company offering opensource solutions. They are going no where and one can easily download or export their passwords to another password manager service regardless. They again also offer self-hosted option. I doubt many people were sold on this solution based on the write up. The author had a number of warnings and caveats themselves. A local, self-managed solution is not for 99% of users.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
