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"

    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.

    • Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
