I agree. As a BSG fan that also was bit disapponted with the ending, I went out and bought the final 5 comic series to ease some sorrows…ultimately it made me hopeful about Caprica as the 5 do tie back to Greystone’s achievement and possability that Daniel could be the old hybred of Razor as it is “the gardians” that make the deal with the 5 for ressurection technology in exchange for stopping the first cylon war. Ellen reviels it is the gaurdians achievement in being able to copy a human soul to a centurian that garentees she can create the 8.

Ultimately Caprica also has the oppertunity to add the virtual aspec back onto the series as virtual messengers were at the helm of Battlestar in leading them to monothesisim. It gives insight that the lords of Kobol (virtual 6 states that she is one in the final 5 comic series) and that Kobol had this technology and offers viewers questions on being able to cross over virtual plans and if we will see another ‘lord of kobol’ messenger as TSO is reminisent of both Cavil’s Plan and theology and that of Baltar’s by the series end.

But I agree that this show just has too many things going on and it’s hard to figure out whom has a history with whom first. It needs to solidify fast and it needs to let BSG fan’s know this relates in some capasity to the mythology of BSG. Lets not let Kobol be a dirty word.

It may seem that the show is a little slow, but I think character development is essential and should not be short cut. These days where all the shows are explosions and effects, it is nice to see a new show take time to introduce us to the main players. That being said, it could be an easy target for the execs to chop after one season…I hope not.

It agree with Franky… BGS 90210. At least with 90210 you knew what kind of show you were getting into. Caprica is trying too hard. The writers have lost sight of what is really core to their audience. This show might as well be on the WB.

For me, Episode 5 seemed to lose its way a bit (I haven’t seen Episode 6 yet) but, up until then, I’d say the kind of things you’re highlighting as weaknesses are exactly the things that make the show so gripping. But that’s just me!
