DH and I finally finished off the last few Caprica eps, and I have to say...huh???
I feel bad for the writing team because I think if this show had been allowed to develop on its own terms for a few seasons it could have turned into something really interesting. Instead, we got a desperate last-minute wrap up that kinda but didn't really tie it to BSG at all (if Zoe was an original skinjob, why wasn't she....one of the original skin jobs? And was Ellen just blowing smoke when she was telling everyone about how the Final Five created the next-gen cylons or what?
And the mafia stuff that never even vaguely connected with the original series except that okay, Bill Adama wasn't that Bill Adama, so...yeah. It does make me laugh knowing how noble Lee thought he was being, following in his grandfather's lawyerly footsteps. And then using Grandpa Consigliere's law books to defend Baltar, of all people. Heh. And poor Tamara! Zoe just up and left her in New Cap, er, Forest! Does she even get to be part of the Cylon army?
AND ANOTHER THING (I know, I'm ranting now) - are we really supposed to believe that the trigger to a Cylon in every home was MILITARY ROBOTS LANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SPORTS STADIUM AND SHOOTING CIVILIANS???? Like, if a squadron of Predator drones landed at the Superbowl and started shooting into the crowd, would Roomba sales spike? REALLY??
