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:

/me cleans ears, vigorously

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.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
