I didn't expect them to move on from Earth this fast. They spent three and a half season on the quest to Earth. After they actually found Earth they spent two episodes on it, just to move on again without answering that many questions as to what really happened.

This episode seems like a filler as well, although it could very well be the beginning of the end of the fleet. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the entire fleet will go self-destruct in the final episode.

Yes, last night's episode was pure crap. Reminds me of just about every episode from S2E1 on.

Well, I think it's necessary to have a setup episode every so often when the storyline takes such a dramatic arch in big swoop. It's like finding Earth in the last 15 minutes of season 4.0 was too rushed and out of place.

The cylons want to be seated at the quorum as the 13th tribe. If the human/cylon alliance does return to Earth to colonize it, they become essentially the 13th colony. The original 12 overtaken by skinjobs are destined to evolve into some form of humanity and all that has happened before will happen again... at least that's the way I'm starting to see it. The cylons (old humans) want to reclaim their home colonies taken by the cylons (now humans) millenniums ago and will nuke the colonies again in the future.

I think that (finally) explain why the last cylon wasnt important. This is not lost. "We" dont need a hang to keep watching an empty series. Galactica is more than that. By far.

If you try to remember how they get there, how Roslin was president and how she is ending, you will see how the character was developed. And thats just her.

We didnt expect either that kid wasnt the chief kid. And a lot less that was the hotdog kid, heh. She was pregnant when he was leading the revolution on that planet, and he didnt know that he was actually a cylon.

The series is about to end and I think that every episode is pure gold, because every character is saying good bye.

The biggest problem with your argument is that they hyped it up for 11 episodes about the one being revealed. If it wasn't that important, why couldn't D'anna just say that the fifth one is dead or who that person is? Hellen being the fifth, and dead, will have some kind of impact on the overall story, else why waste the potential? It doesn't make sense to make a dead character the key to a mystery if they're not going to somehow be crucial to the story.

That doesn't explain how Earth gets destroyed though. Next to that from what I understand the Cylon wars weren't with the ancient Cylons of Earth (old humans as you call them) but with new Cylons created by humanity (the old Cylons).

Am I still making sense here? :laugh:

It was a slow episode, but I think having the start of another mass mutiny will drive the show towards more answers.

From the web episodes, we saw two sixes involved in Gaeta's betrayal. So, it?s possible that more sixes still on the rebel Cylon ship knows about Gaeta?s involvement on New Caprica. I think as the mutiny goes on, the people following Gaeta will end up killing him once they figure out his crimes - Starbuck might have the finishing blo;) ;)

I don't think the Earth we've seen so far is the real deal!

Just reading through a sci-fi wire interview with some of the staff talking about their favourite moments

http://scifiwire.com/2009/01/battlestar-st...ies-moments.php

and Jamie Bamber (lee) says: "Actually, one of the best ones for me was the moment when after 60-something episodes we were all in the CIC; me, Eddie and Mary finally hear that we are in orbit of a planet that we think is Earth."

looking forward to seeing the next episode tomorrow :D

Damn, now that's Battlestar Galactica. I loved the tense atmosphere of the episode. I hope that soldier threw a flashbang instead of a grenade.

Of course it was a flashbang. Why risk blowing a hole in the ship when the door between them and that hole is partially open? Not to mention there's no way that's how one of the key characters would go :p

I hope it ends like The Shield does, where all the characters meet a fate that is not what they expected... if Galactica doesn't go down in a blaze of glory taking out the Cavils baseships, I'm gonna be sorely disappointed. :woot:

NO, I think you missed the point about cylons and humans fighting for ages. Peace is the way this will go, it is the only way the humans can live. Largely the fate of both are one. I want to see reckoning mentioned by Adama. I want Geta and Zerik to finally die and anyone who supported the mutiny. I would have shot the marine like starbuck wanted. This will be an exciting final season. I really would like another season.

yes, i loved it. It was great to see roslin show some real rage for once.

Yeah it is her fault that this happened. She should have seen the vacuum she was leaving.

Awesome show, much like season One. Five star episode.

The whole premise "all of this happened before and will happen again" and I think peace would ruin it, imo. I want to see a fight to the death, a unity of the survivors, and a fast forward to the beginning of the next cycle. Then they can reboot the series, new ship design, new faces, but the same roles, all over again. :yes:

It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. 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. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different 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.

      At least AMD is still taking Windows 10 seriously (after the oops) before it consumer extended support ends. @WaltC - Memories, 2x Voodoo in SLI with a Riva TNT with an Aureal A3D soundcard.
