In Battlestar Galactica (2004) robots called Cylons attack the humans by hacking their computer network. They are able to destroy most of humanity and all but a handful of human ships. One of the ships that survives is the Battlestar Galactica, an old ship that was about to become a museum, and is too old to be connected to the network. The man in the picture is Admiral William Adama, captain of the Galactica. He orders that computers are not to be networked together, so they can't be hacked by the Cylons.
In real life cyber security provider CrowdStrike had a bug in one of its update files. The file went out as part of an automated update to computers at many businesses around the world, including banks and airlines. The bug made the computers crash, grounding flights, making payment systems inoperable, etc.

Thanks for this article describing the actual computer system update crisis ... but still, i do not know what this photograph of some guy means in your post ...
Edit : never mind someone else explained it to me here
Except this time the threat was from Chief Tyrol, surely not foreshadowing anything at all.
It's funny that I am rewatching the series right now. Thankfully it is still as good as I remember it
BTW I love how this show continues to hold its own today. I started rewatching it a couple weeks ago, and my wife stopped behind the couch one day and now I am not allowed to watch a second of it unless she’s there to enjoy it too.
I haven't watched the show before, but it's been my Sunday ritual for a little while now. I watch while ironing my shirts, it's really good ! Character writing is 10/10.
It's a blessing and a curse. It's great to be able to share stuff but also, what do you mean you're too tired to watch it's the last episode of the season come on
I usually pump the brakes with series. She likes to binge, I prefer to watch a couple at a time and let the story sink in before proceeding another day.
I would so hate watcing a great show with you. I want to know what happens next and I want to know it NOW haha
Nah, if I binge I find I forget a lot of the content. Watching one or maximum two episodes at a time stretches the good feeling from the watching, maximizing pleasure.
.... Just watch it again.

I love how the ONE time they did, all the fears were validated.
The network with its fake daemons and firewalls lasted how long? A minute or so?
Gaeta (sp?) did a damn good job all things considered
Well, for a while at least.
Athena was the one who did all the work. What did Gaeta do? Plug some patch cables in?
Set up a multi layered firewall that delayed the inevitable for long enough for them to execute their plan, for one.
Gaeta is the unsung hero of that series.
Gaeta is a traitorous shitbag as evidenced by his death by firing squad.
