In the upcoming Cylon backstory movie, Daniel's role as a Cylon model will be explained from what I've heard. His role will be largely based on why Cavil is Cavil... though we already know that.

We shall see, but are the model numbers sequential to when they were made? Why go from #1 to #7 then to #X?

Remember when Kara drew paintings of Jupiter? How is it that she "saw" Jupiter only to lead the fleet to the real Earth. The Earth that was decimated by nuclear bombardment. Also, I distinctly remember Galactica flying past Mars or something like that. Either case, it's odd that the real Earth has the same planets as the fake Earth (ours). Wait a minute. Didn't we see North America when Galactica orbited the real Earth? Ugh! It's all so confusing now. Perhaps I should re-watch the complete series on DVD or Blu-ray.

Exactly, that's been pestering me the most.

The shots of earth were obscure when they arrived, but they did show the second earth in the season three finale, which I think was cheap for them to do since they knew that there would be two earths.

honestly I think you're right, but I also believe he said they changed the ending during the writers strike.... hell even they didn't know Ellen was going to be the 5th until well into the 3rd season, she had to keep it a secret for a year or so because of the writers strike... anyways, thought for sure there was going to be something more to the black hole other than a strategic base, would've guessed some nukes fly threw and destroy the revelations earth but it was a good ending that goes along with our history pretty well, damn wish they would've gave the nomads ship schematics tho...lol

* 12 colonies find a new planet, call it "Earth" (fake - our Earth) and settle about 3000(?) years ago in our timeline

You know, if anyone has changes to the above, let me know - let's see if we can get a decent timeline.

I am sorry to be picky, but it was 150,000 years ago. Great job though.

And Hera was pivitol,

Her kidnapping by Boomer brings the Galactica to the Cylon colony...

Cavil's holding a gun to her head produced the end of the war - Cylons get ressurection tech (although they didn't, like we all saw) and in the ensuing gun battle in the CIC Starbuck gets the Galactica to the New Earth with the musical notes as co-ordinates

The Cylons on the base get wasted by the nukes from racetrack's raptor - no more threat from them

The Cylons on the rebel base-star get set free and bugger off to explore the galaxy

The humans and skin jobs settle on "Earth" leading to us!

I gotta say, I watched the whole series over the last month and it was very good!

It was like reading a book, and maybe by watching it all together it felt more complete.

It saddens me though that there are no more episodes to watch =( Great show start to finish!

Lol mate, I too (and Rappy!) have been rewatching the entire series from start to finish over the last few weeks, and having rewatched it all again, I'm left thoroughly satisfied. A second watching of the finale is always a great idea. Man, I'm gonna be so bored on Friday's now :(

Also, managed to get hold of the soundtracks too, some amazing stuff in there!

Just reading some Star Trek stuff, and remembered RDM co-wrote the TNG Finale: All Good Things...

"Picard finds himself traveling between the past, present, and future while attempting to prevent thedestruction of humanity ? by his own actionsb>."

Sound vaguely familiar?

  • 2 weeks later...

Well what can I say! I started watching this series a month or so back and wanted to know why people raved about it so much and well I can see why because it was frakin epic! Everything about this series was awesome from the story to the soundtrack to the characters and when I just saw the finale and everything fell into place I felt like I had been on that ride as well with the Galactica feeling their pain and woes and jubilations!

Quite frightening really that ending, we are creating skinjobs! so maybe it will happen! :p

    • No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.
    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
