Yeah, I was kind of hoping she'd been written out, but I'm fine with her sticking around now.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
New Cap City!
I laughed out loud at that. So perfect, so awesome. First time I really felt like I was digging the vibe on the holoband realities, instead of just passively accepting it.
Part of me even wonders if all of BSG happened inside the holoband realities ... might explain some of the weird stuff. ... cough, Starbuck ...
For the record, I don't think that, but it's as though parts of the BSG reality sort of floated in and out of some meta-world. Although I guess the virtual spaces that the Cylons created were pretty much the same thing as the holoband realities.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I first heard the term "de-res" in Tron. Is that where the term comes from, or does it predate that?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
the vibe on the holoband
I originally read this as "hoboland." I need a nap.

I want to say that it was a CAD-CAM term for engineering designs being peeled back from versimilitude to structural views onscreen, but I'm not certain.

Has any other science fiction used the term?

Excellent episode! This just turned the series from "Oh, Caprica is on." to "Can't wait for Caprica!" for me!
Love Tamara! Loved the Tauron ceremony! And omg... when Daniel asked Cylon/Zoe to rip her arm off, I cringed sooo much. So glad they didn't show Zoe after that!

Max Headroom is coming out on DVD!!!!! I am SO HAPPY.
MH was my first experience of the tragedy of Brilliant Show Cancelled Unfairly. I can't wait to see how it holds up on dvd (as compared to the crappy dark third-generation VHS-to-.avi version I have on my external hard drive).

That's awesome!!!! I was just talking about MH to someone at work and wondering why it's never been out on home video.

From io9: Caprica Is Quickly Becoming The Best SF Show On Television
Friday night's episode of Caprica, "There Is Another Sky," moved the already-intriguing show to the status of must-watch. It was simply one of the best SF representations of futuristic videogames and internet culture that I've ever seen.
The article mostly sums up last Friday's episode.
The conclusion:
From its humble origins as a spinoff of Battlestar Galactica, Caprica has grown into a terrific show in its own right. A show that nimbly asks big questions about the nature of sentience and justice, while also spinning a terrific yarn about old-fashioned gangsters in a world of high-tech corporate warfare.
This is definitely not Battlestar Galactica anymore. It's something else. And you'll be sorry if you don't tune in to find out more.
