I never watched Caprica - gave up on the new BSG after season 2.
Still, I feel bad for SyFy.
FYI, I love Warehouse 13

Caprica was pretty much my favorite show on Syfy. I like the pacing and the character development - both in-world and virtual.
------------------------------------------------------------
I was not a fan of their overall pacing, but I did like the character development and I thought they hit on a good storyline with the virtual world, but then it went nowhere. Very frustrating too was their jumping from storyline to storyline trying to cover all and never really getting much across. One exception the story of Joseph looking for his daughter in the virtual world.
Otherwise I was a fan hoping that the writers would really let loose. I really thought it was doing well, but it didn't help that SyFy decided to break up Season 1. Oh well......sorry to see it go.

To compound my frustration, the Space Channel in Canada has the rights to air the five remaining episodes, and Ep. 14 was broadcast Tuesday night at the same time it would have been on in the US if SyFy hadn't canceled it. On top of that, I have not been able to find a torrent of it.

Not enough sex and humor. Cylons apparently have neither.

First Keith Olbermann gets fired, now Caprica. Or was it vice versa?
Either way, Republicons can't have Christians named as terrorists. Everybody knows only Muslims do that.

At first I didn't like Caprica and had something bad to say about every episode except the last 4 because I was so fed up I stopped watching them. Then I heard about the show being canceled so I went back to Amazon.com video on demand and downloaded the episodes I hadn't seen, and then watched everything from start to the last episode.
I must admit the show actually was starting to get interesting, and maybe I was wrong about it being a bad show.

It was slow for the first few episodes after the pilot, but picked up nicely by the end of the first half, then everything since the hiatus has been very good. Episode 14 is finally available, so I assume anyone interested will know how to find it. Definitely could not complain about not enough action in this one.
I still don't understand why SyFy couldn't air the last five eps as planned even if they didn't intend to renew it. The way they've handled it is a slap in the face to not only the fans, but also to Ron Moore and David Eick, Jane Espenson, Drew Z. Greenburg, and all the other writers, actors and crew. I can't imagine that they think reruns of ST: TNG and Hollywood Treasure will bring better ratings.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd pin it on "DVD sales". They might be thinking that whatever ad time they had sold is already sold for the timeslot, so why not hold the eps hostage and make the fans who really want to see them PAY to see them. Just a thought. It's TV - they don't care about content or quality, only the money.
Since we're not likely to get any closure, I won't be buying the DVD set anytime soon, if ever. And I've been burned buy Syfy/SciFi enough times now that I'll likely not give them any more chances.

They are going to air them, just in January, when they were originally scheduled, before they pushed things up to October.

It was vice versa, and Olbermann wasn't fired - will be back on air tomorrow night.
