i just rewatched it again. Anders says HE and its perfectly clear.

He clearly says "she was 7". I know it. I watched the scene at least 3 times. He follows with "I'm sure". Why don't you watch this to jog your memory?

WARNING: Click the link at your own discretion. It's a part of episode 15.

i guess you can hear anything you want

True, but only if there's something wrong with your sense of hearing.

He clearly was speaking fast at that point. Going with context of what was stated, it is likely he. I can't believe we're having another one of these arguments.

This is not 'another one of those' conversations. No one is trying to lip-read 'he' or 'she' (like six or ten).

The line was deliberate and was hidden/woven into the scene for one reason or another: it's either a clue or red herring. There is nothing to interpret, Anders says,

"Yes. He died... Daniel died. She was 7. I'm sure.".

Skip ahead to the 5 min mark in the Youtube vid linked above.

I don't know what you mean by that, but I'm going by what the character said. I know what I heard. The YouTube video is proof. Watch it if you haven't done so already.

Thank you!

its cool canadians maybe it was a she in your broadcast :D

That makes no sense, haha. I doubt they would do that. Why would they make Canadians hear "She"? :laugh:

Anyway, I invite others to watch the YouTube video in my previous post. Pay close attention to what Anders says. You can clearly hear him say "She". Heck, crank up your volume to max and hear it. He says "She" and then says "I'm sure". I know he said it because the the first part of "she" and "sure (shure)" sounded similar.

So we have two definitive male references, one debatable female reference. Considering the state of mind of both Cylons at the time they spoke the words, I'm going to have to go with Daniel being a male, the argument I made from the start.

Wow, I frakked up. I watched a better source with some high quality headphones and concluded that Anders said "He" instead of "She". It definitely sounded like the latter but it was merely the way he pronounced the word. I formally retract my previous posts regarding this issue. By the way, I knew the Daniel model was a male but I guess I was hoping it would be Kara Thrace. My bad! :wacko:

I was watching some of the BSG marathon of episodes from season 3 - 4 on Sci-Fi today and noticed a small bit of discontinuity. Remember back in season 2 (I think) when Starbuck injures her knee and she can't take the G forces of flying a mark II viper with her bum knee. Well, at the end of season 3 when the cylons attack, Anders has a knee injury of some type, hobbling in it, then he suits and jumps in a mark II viper when the cylons show up and pilots it fine, other than fumbling with the gun trigger. I wouldn't have thought much of it if he had at least been flying the mark VII viper... :hmmm:

This episode was mostly dull, and I just might shoot myself if I have to deal with Adama's drinking habit yet again.

I thought maybe the Ellen Tigh character would have a change, but she was the same old nagging bitch she has always been, I can see why Saul Tigh went after a better piece of ass after millenniums of putting up with her. They say the five of them were close, but I just can't see it with the way the characters are written. Another transition episode, setting up an intense episode to come later. Expectations are too high for the rest of season after the two part mutiny episode.

was starbucks quote a hint or a red herring, when she said that tigh and ellens scene at the raptor was like watching her parents making out.

I noticed that as well... perhaps a tad bit of foreshadowing. If Ellen had all her memories back though, seems like we would have known it this week. Maybe she was a creation of their lab on Earth, a test subject of their organic memory transplant, a prototype for their resurrection tech. I'm gonna stop guessing and just watch the last four episodes though ;)

I liked it. A bit slower, but we needed to process the info from the last episode. I like the way they have paced to story over the series as a whole even if that makes for some slow episodes occasionally. That Michael Hogan (Saul Tigh) has not gotten more critical acclaim for this role is a crime.

i enjoyed the episode i just thought it was just a cheap trick for the writers to go to the love angle for a miscarriage. I know they mentioned it in previous episodes but it was a lame cop-out imho.

I thought it was great that ellen was the way she was; It made perfect sense and her vindictiveness was just a treat to watch.

Now starbuck saying it was like her parents make out was a nice touch i just hope it turns out to be true.

    • 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.
