I still don't get why people are complaining about the ending. I mean, ok the Starbuck thing might have been a copout on the producers part, but still. They obviously had the plot in mind for over a season if not longer. And to make a long argument short, it's a SCIENCE FICTION show, not a reality show. I think people forgot this, considering how "realistic" BSG portrayed everything (mostly). But you always had that spiritual/religious overtone to the series, starting from the first episode of the mini-series for fraks sake.

Like Lebeon (sp) said (and they showed it in the scene where Kara realizes everything more or less in the CIC) he doesn't see Kara Thrace, he sees an angel sent by god. Same with Head Six and Head Baltar. It makes sense now that they weren't imagionary at all, but "angels" or whatever you want to call them. Guiding (sometimes badly) Baltar and Six in a certain direction. Sure, there were plenty of plot holes, but for a series that took chances, and was a SCI FI show, I don't understand the people complaining about it now. It's like, they were watching a totally different show or something...

Good! Didn't want you to have missed an awesome part of the overall story.

Nah my mate sent me a text file with the order so I just watched in it :p

I actually really enjoyed Razor learning more about the Pegasus was awesome.

I'm working my way thru re-watching everything. Currently, I'm half-way thru Season 3 and there are a lot of details I forgot about when I was watching the finale. Having the ability to watch everything in order from the mini-series on has helped answer some of my questions. However, the whole Starbuck ending was still a disappointment, and I don't think anything will change that.

The Plan sounds interesting, and I can't wait to view it.

The Battlestar Galactica saga began on one devastating day, when the human population of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol was annihilated in a series of surprise attacks by their own creation-the Cylons, a race of sentient robotic clones. The few survivors huddled together on space ships, facing almost certain death at the hands of their ruthless enemies. In Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5, Commander William Adama (Emmy Award?-winner Edward James Olmos), the hawkish military leader of the last surviving battleship, searches for a habitable planet as the murderous Cylons follow relentlessly. As mysterious premonitions help Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) the President of the Twelve Colonies, guide the ship t- the fabled Thirteenth Colony, Earth, treacherous double agents, Cylon spies and internal dissent plague the Galactica. The ship's crew and passengers battle for their lives-and the survival of the human race-armed with only cunning and determination against the military might of the CyloBATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON 4.5SON 4.5

    • This makes me think of Dune for some reason.
    • I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
