Hopefully the last couple of episodes turned out like that mainly due to the writer's strike - having a 22 episode season condensed into 13 (studio decision?) and then into 9 episodes in a very short space of time must have gave the writers (along with the other production staff) a major headache in how to pan out the first season - let alone coming up with an ending to the season.

I think there's enough quality on show in the first season to warrant and second season (and more) - and hopefully a longer one at that.

I'll definitely be tuning in for more.

Top player -almost genius-like at chess before a time when computers and over-analysis rule all.

The man may have been paranoid, complicated, awkward and have some outlandish views - yet if it was true that his mother was a spy, and that the various US security agencies did indeed keep close tabs on Fischer himself it was no wonder that he railed against the US.

Sad that he's dead in that he brought a lot to the game - love playing his fischerandom chess - a welcome fun game when 'proper' matches get a bit heavy

Hi shimy - good to see you back mate



I think the final cylon may well be Dualla - she is technically an 'Adama' by marriage to Lee (Leoban told Roslin the cylon is Adama), Dualla's first name means resurrection (Anastasia), and if you look back to certain episides early on you can see by here reactions to certain events that she may be hiding something (eg her reaction when the listening device is found in the CIC, listening in on conversations in S2 between Lee and Starbuck) - and as Ron Moore keeps on saying it's not Roslin, Bill or Starbuck it most likely has to be Dualla or Gaeta (can't be Helo - he's the father of the 1st human-cylon child - and everyone else is already a cylon ), so I'll go with Dualla.


(and am prepared to eat humble pie when the final cylon is exposed )

Oojason! Good to hear from you mate.

Thanks to Moth3r too, for your kind comments.

I've just got a lead on another 'exclusive'. I really hope this comes off!!

Still nothing back from DWR though




Hopefully will be spending a bit more time here now (no - don't all run away )

If you'd like a hand with PIFing your new creation on when the time comes let me know - only be too happy to help out mate.

^ Was it the screener version of Razor you saw mate?

Am interested in seeing what scenes they are adding back in for the final cut - and also what scenes make it for the 'unrated edition' - if there is indeed a difference between them?

I thoroughly enjoyed Razor (screener version), the FX were top quality for a tv show and it was a nice piece of nostalgia with the addition of the old style Cylons (more scenes to be added in later). The Kendra character was an interesting one - especially towards the end of Razor.

Certainly has kept me interested for the eventual 4th season (c'mon the UK - please screen it first from December/Jan )

Should be interesting to see how the Flashback minisodes continue to play out too...

For some reason I did find Vista Premium runs quicker than Basic - though as I couldn't find a permanant (cough) way of upgrading the OS I reverted back to Basic.

Computers, eh?


Can I assume it's a single core 1.8 Intel? Like a Pentium 4? Or is it a Core 2 Duo? Also, I'll assume that your graphics chip isn't an ATI or Nvidia. In that case, you don't really hav 200 mb graphics ram. What you've got is an integrated POS graphics chip that's taking 200 mb of system RAM, leaving you with about 1.8 GB of system RAM. You could probably turn off Aero to get a speed boost.

The other question is, what do you consider poor performance? I've personally never seen bad performance from Vista outside of the initial user login (when it sets up the desktop).



apologies - I forgot about my post in this thread - aye it is a single core intel, but it has an ATI Radeon graphics card. The 'Aero' substitute I rarely use as I think it's just a nice gimmick - same as with the sidebar (which seems to be the main cause of the power hogging).

I put Win 2000 on on a dual boot - and that runs very smoothly (as it did on my old P3 2002/3 laptop) - I'll keep both on for now - but at the momoent I can't think of a reason why I'd use Vista over 2000 other than the gimmicks.
