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?

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

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
