Caprica, Episode 11

Episode 11: Retribution

Watching this episode felt like something of a chore, and I only had two thoughts while watching. As I've said before, I do intend to get to the end, especially as it's so close now, but I just generally don't care about all these characters. Whatever.

• How did Lacy and the other STO guys get guns and bombs in to a spaceport?
• Daniel's beard looks occasionally fake.
  

Caprica, Episode 10

Episode 10: Unvanquished

• Why is Santa Claus at the meeting on Gemenon with Clarice? Also, this place on that planet looks kind of like Rivendell.
• A religion that removes the need for faith? Surely that's no longer a religion. Anyway, there still needs to be faith in the science behind the technology.
• Tomas Vergis coined the term "toaster", so it would seem.
• Of course Amanda is alive. Boo! I wanted her dead.

Caprica, Episode 9

Episode 9: End of the Line

• That old chestnut of "20 hours earlier" at the beginning. Felt like old season 1 BSG.
• The bed in the water where "Rachel" and Philomon had their date in V world seemed like the kind of place we'd see Head Six and Gaius having a moment.
• Sasha Patel, the Military Procurement lady is played by the same actor that played the Master of Arms on the Galactica.
• I so knew that Emanuelle was Joseph's assistant in the real world.
• Finally some death! Philomon for sure, probably Nestor (one of Clarice's husbands) and potentially Amanda, though I doubt it as she's a series regular. And of course the robot will survive that crash, so it felt a little pointless to make it so dramatic. It worked well with the other climaxes though, but this made it feel a bit cheap.

Caprica, Episode 8

Episode 8: Ghosts in the Machine

Apart from the fact that Amanda may be seeing her brother as a Messanger Character (like Messanger Six and Messanger Baltar), I really didn't care about this episode. There are too many extra characters being introduced in the V world, and not enough shirtless Sam Adama to make me pay attention. I will continue to watch, because I want to see how the series ends and how well it ties in to the BSG universe, but I may be watching it more passively for entertainment value only.
