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.

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. . /

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats.

Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
