Well, I'm not joining any Caprica fan club or anything, but I will continue to watch.

Sure, it's not awesome, but I see it being better than a lot of crap that some how generated far more attention.

No skin off my noes, either way.

I've watched the pilot and the follow up episode. I'm reserving comment until the show has a little more ground under it.

I will at this point say that I've noticed a lack of the "higher" tech present in Battlestar Galactica. The city and suburbs of Caprica City have a 21st Century feel about them. The skyscrapers in the city don't look much like the steel and glass wonders of the BG opening and rather look more like downtown Chicago or LA. I've also noted bare atmo in the different shots in and around Caprica City. By that I mean there aren't any ships flying around. In the sequence when Rosilyn learned of her cancer before the Cylons attacked you could see ships flying to-and-fro. In this new show the skies are rather bare. I know spaceflight is possible because the kids were going to hop on a transport to Geminon before their unfortunate demise in the pilot episode, but the lack of ships is not the feeling of Caprica that the orginal show engendered.

Perhaps what Ronald Moore will drive towards is a buildup of ships as a function with the coming cylon war. But who knows.

With respect to the lack of techiness on Caprica, I tend to agree. The wardrobe of many citizens strikes me more of 1920's - 30's era Chicago or New York. Of course, this is 50+ years before the fall, but again, they're supposedly centuries ahead of our current level of technology. ( But then again, not everywhere in the 'verse has to be the latest and greatest, as we well know )

And also, Galactica herself had " old style ", low tech hand sets for its in ship communication, which resembled more like what we'd expect to see on an WW2 US naval ship.

The look and feel of Caprica wasn't going to be what wins over viewers and ultimately tell the story. Again, much like other shows we know and love.

I'm still on the fence about it. I think they overused the substitution of Human Zoe for the Robot Zoe, as if they thought the viewers wouldn't be able to remember that Zoe's consciousness is in the robot. It was particularly distracting when Daniel, Lacy or the tech guys were making eye contact with the shorter Zoe when they should have been looking up to the taller robot.

My problem is, I kinda know what's gonna happen.
It's the Episode 1, 2 & 3 syndrome.

Well, we actually don't know much about specifics; we know that somehow Zoe manages to spawn an army of Cylons, and that Billy Adama survives, and that the eventual human/Cylon war is harsh enough that Colonial tech starts regressing (I weep for Serge's inevitable fate), but beyond that everything's up in the air (the Graystones, the larger Adama family, the Soldiers of the One, Zoe's friends --hell, even Zoe herself might not live to see the rise of the Cylons).

I'm not even completely sure when the Final Five first reached Caprica; was it before or after the First Cylon War?

I'm disappointed in Crapica.

Cylons are spoiled brats and their human parents are nutty professors.

Adamas are kosher mexican mafia.

No wonder BSG is frakked up! But the plot does make sense, in a neurotic sort of way.

BTW all christians, muslims and jews are terrorists in BSG. Writers plagerized the MIAC Report.
