It's about time. I hope Friday's episode is good (as always).

Hupp: Thanks for that link. Non-US users always get screwed over with online episodes/webisodes. Not anymore! I shall do my part in spreading the word.

I think there are only 10 episodes left. Also, with all the You Will Know trailers, do you think they're going to reveal the identity of the 5th cylon on Friday or wait a few episodes?

I figure they'll reveal it towards the end of the season, because Moore likes to be a jerk like that :p

From one of the Season 4.5 preview commercials, it is revealed that Saul Tigh finds out who the fifth/final Cylon is. He did seem kind of shocked... :o

I just hope Gaeta isn't the final Cylon, because they made it too obvious so far with the webisodes.

At last, they?ve come for me. I feel their lives, their destinies spilling out before me.

The denial of the one true path, played out on a world not their own, will end soon enough.

Soon there will be four, glorious in awakening, struggling with the knowledge of their true selves.

The pain of revelation bringing new clarity and in the midst of confusion, he will find her. Enemies brought together by impossible longing.

Enemies now joined as one. The way forward at once unthinkable, yet inevitable.

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

I can see them all. The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin. But in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know enmity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of one splintering into many.

And then, they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of an angel. Not an end, but a beginning.i>

We now know what Gaeta would want redemption for:p:p But, I hope its not him - seems to easy of a choice.

Maybe I have missed the convo on this, but on one of the trailers for "4.5" as it is being called, someone says "I remember everything"

Voice sounds familiar, maybe he is the final cylon.

I think it sounded like Anders or Tyrol, probably remembered why they left Earth for the Twelve Colonies.

Also, more clues on 5th Cylon...

Things we all want to know, and will get a definite answer from the remaining episodes according to Moore.

Q: I'm wondering, without you giving it away, whether these things are going to be addressed or whether these are things that we're thinking a lot more about than you were.

RM: Do you have a list?

Q: Yeah.

RM: Okay.

Q: Obviously, the identity of the final Cylon, we will find this out?

RM: Yeah.

Q: The origin and nature of the Final Four and how they're different from the rest of them?

RM: Yes.

Q: The origin of the rest of the skinjobs?

RM: Yes.

Q: What happened to Earth and what happened to the 13th Colony?

RM: Yes.

Q: Who, if anyone, is orchestrating all of this?

RM: Basically, yeah. I don't know if it's going to be wrapped up in a neat bow. The show has an answer for it, whether it's a satisfying answer, I don't know.

Q: Will "All this has happened before and it will happen again" be explained in some way?

RM: Yes.

Q: The opera house?

RM: Yes.

Q: What happened to Kara when she went through the Malestrom?

RM: Pretty much.

Q: Identity and nature of the "head" characters?

RM: Yes.

Q: Tigh and Six's baby, and whether that means Cylons can breed?

RM: Yes. That's not a "yes" to whether they can breed -- the question will be answered.

Q: The fate of Boomer and whether there are other 1's, 4's and 5's floating out there?

RM: Yes.

Q: Roslin's health?

RM: Yes.

Q: Okay, that's a "yes" on all of them.

RM: See? We knew what all the questions were! I'm kind of proud of myself. "Yes"es to all of them. I thought you were going to throw a curve at me, like, "Oh, (bleep)."

Q: You said there's a part of you that wished you had done what David Chase did with "The Sopranos." How do you want, or how do you expect, people to react when we get to the end of this?

RM: I hope it's satisfying. Ultimately, I hope it's satisfying. This one is a closed-end story to an extent, setting aside "Caprica" for the moment. It's a beginning, middle and end, "Battlestar Galactica." This big story, how it all began, the apocalypse of the 12 Colonies, then the journey, and then they get here. This is the end of all these characters that you have come to know and love. I really wanted it to be satisfying and answer questions that the audience has asked for a long time. I wanted them to like the answers, or at least appreciate the answers, that thought was given to them. At the end, you can say goodbye to the characters as you're saying goodbye to the show, and there's not a dry eye in the house.

Judging from the webisodes, I'd say the final Cylon is Felix Gaeta. It just feels too obvious though and my instincts are telling that it can't be that easy. I mean, why would they create so much mystery around the fifth and final Cylon only to reveal his identity in a bunch of webisodes? I'm beginning to think he's a "scapegoat". Anyway, the voice in the trailer that says "I remember now" must be a survivor on Earth. Maybe the final Cylon is a former inhabitant of Earth, before it became a lifeless rock full of ruined skyscrapers and buildings.

The logical conclusion would be one of the four Cylons saying he remembers. In one of the 4.5 previews Anders asks Chief if he remembered something, so I would say it's one of the three males, probably Saul, given the roughness of the voice.

They are making it painfully obvious in the clues that it is Gaeta, which is exactly why I do not think it is him.

I'm going to stick by my original guess that it is Lt. Anastasia Dualla (Adama).

If we want to hold the show to its word, it's no one in the fleet.

If we want to hold the show to its word, it's no one in the fleet.

D'anna could have been lying tho.

The problem is who :

Would be hungering for redemption and not be in the fleet?

The only ones I can think of is Jammer who got air locked in the Collaborators episode because he collaborated with the cylons when they occupied new caprica.

or ....

Ellen Tigh. She wouldn't be in the fleet and would probably want redemption for giving info to the cylons in exchange for helping out Saul Tigh.

I haven't seen the latests set of webisodes so i cannot say about Geata, but would seem from what people are saying, a cop out. Plus why wouldn't Geata have activated like the other 4 on the Galactica.

My personal belief however still remains, Tom Zerek!

could someone sum up the story of the webisodes please?

thank you

Baltar was telling the truth about Gaeta all along. He too was responsible for the death of thousands on New Caprica.

During the occupation, #8 model tricked Gaeta into giving her names of people to "save" from the camps, but in actuality the Cylons were killing off majority of the people on those lists Gaeta provided.

If you don't watch the next episode of Battlestar Galactica when it airs live on Friday, you could pay a terrible price. The episode will run a few minutes long.

It's happened to all of us ? a show goes over the allotted time-limit and you're stuck never actually knowing who's the murderer on Pushing Daisies. Or worse, if Heidi and Spencer really did get married for reals? Then comes the swearing and the screaming and the breaking of objects because your recorder cut off at the crucial last few minutes, leaving you without answers or closure.So be warned ,BSG fans ? this weeks' Friday premiere will run OVER 3 and a half minutes. Don't be a victim ? set your recording devices correctly. . /

    • 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.
