Re: What Caprica is on Sy Fy Right Now
The last episode was pretty cool. Finally, Cylons .. you know .. doing something. Not just talking about some Mafia wannabes, some other crap that's not interesting, but hey .. Cylons .. doing stuff. Killing people. If they had bothered to make more episodes like that, it might have actually stood a chance of being renewed.

Guys!!!
Use the frakkin spoiler tags!!! I haven´t hit anyone with warnings or infractions for this yet, but not using a spoiler tag when posting crucial plot points is a violation of the Member guidelines.

And maybe if more people here had supported it and given it a chance instead of whining about "It's too slow" when a story this complex NEEDS time to play out, it would have been renewed. This series got the "Firefly" treatment, but more from the public than the usual network goons. Now it's gone, and all the possibilities with it. Sad, just damn sad.

I'm glad that the first William Adama bought it. He was a dimwitted little troll, and I was wondering how the Frak this could be the same person that would bail out humanities ass countless times. I DO wish the new William had said "So Say We All" in, for a kid, the "Husky" voice we all love. BTW, Gotta LOVE Grandma Adama, one tough old *****...and she cooks too.

Haven't watched the last two - they're on the DVR for this evening...

Was Daniel the Razor Hybrid? Was Daniel the "Artistic one" that was missing? What did Zoe become, 40 years later? Was a little of her in Cavil?

No.
Firefly was interesting from the first episode. It wasn't slow. It was fun. It got killed because Fox moved it around and it couldn't accumulate an audience.
Caprica just sucked.

Re: What Caprica is on Sy Fy Right Now - SPOILERS!
I do think the show started way too slow. I gave up on it although I still half-assed paid attention to it.
I didn't watch all five of the last episodes. I watched the last two or three. The last two in particular were pretty darn good, but it took a lot of build up to get there.
I'm glad they were able to add the epilogue- it gave some closure. If only they whole season was a tenth dramatic as the last episodes. In a way, I think it may be better this way - we get a quick season, rather than dragging it out.
...and the series is over. It's aired on television, it's out on DVD, this thread is clearly marked as having spoilers. Do the moderator's really need to threaten action for something that's as obvious as this? I understand the need and use for spoiler tags - it's a great feature, but...

I do think having Zoe as the first skin job was a bit too much. I thought the final five were needed to make something like that? It also seems to add another model to the original 12 models.
I did see some speculation that someone in the series was the hybrid in Razor. I saw nothing like that... can someone elaborate?
The Cylon marines were pretty darn cool... reminded me of the Attack of the Clones.
Willie/Bill Adama - there was speculation from the start of the series that Willie wasn't the Bill Adama we all know. Folks noticed the lack of blue eyes (which were painfully evident in the epilogue) and the timeline/age just wasn't right. Great observations from fanbase.

Smile and nod boys, you don't want certain RPF mods stalking you.
Back to topic, there's really not a true skinjob in this series in the BSG ideal of skinjob. As in, not made of synthetic flesh & blood. There's a terminator-esque endoskeleton robot covered in imitation flesh which houses a particular character's consciousness, but it's not what we see in the BSG series.
It does play nicely into the storyline we saw though... Ellen Tigh said that the Cylons here had tried to make human bodies but couldn't, and when the 5 arrived from the other Earth, they made a deal to end the war and teach the Cylons how to make skinjob bodies. The pseudo skinjob we see in Caprica is a good first step toward the nasty human experimentation we see in Razor and the first Cylon war.
Daniel could very well be the hybrid in Razor, or at least be responsible for him. It would make sense that he'd continue to try to make a better body for his daughter, and his moral decay could continue over the decades, leading him to experiment on people to make it happen... or on himself.

Re: What Caprica is on Sy Fy Right Now - SPOILERS!
I do think a little less human looking of a body would've tied much better into your next quote...
Would've it been cooler to have Ellen and Saul Tigh with the Graystone's as Zoe is (not quite, but close to it) resurrected? Or to see John Cavill assisting?
But, I think when the OG 5 showed up, they never made it to the Colonies (or at least the Colonials) - they made it to a basestar or something similar on one of the colonies. But, then again with Daniel's Cylon ties it might've been interesting to have him collaborating with the Cylons.
One of things the original hybrid said in Razor: "What am I? A man? Or am I a machine? My children believe I am their god." Sure would make a case for him being Daniel. With Zoe apparently taking shape as God (did I get that right?), it would make sense that Daniel would be godlike as well - it's a shame we'll never have a clear answer.
Perhaps somehow Zoe's consciousness was transferred to that male body we saw - that makes more sense, to me at least.
No fun in that.
Very good point. I do think the new robotic body we see Zoe in is a little too perfect looking... but, we don't really know the timeline in which it was created.

Agreed, but I as much as I enjoyed the ending of Caprica overal, I do think the retconning was maybe just a little too much and while I'll always still have BSG, the explanations posed in the show might be just a little too much.

...and while I might have other thoughts about Daniel being the hybrid in Razor, it is a novel idea and one that definitely might make sense.

Re: What Caprica is on Sy Fy Right Now - SPOILERS!
So is Syfy (ugh...) going to show these again? I figured they would have them on later that night, but they didn't. I was watching the OSU game and couldn't tape a second show (stupid Time Warner DVR).

Loved Caprica, and the those final five episodes are fantastic.
So pissed at how the show was handled. SO. VERY. PISSED. :angry
I'm curious what happens to Tamara. Zoe leaves her in V-World?
I wonder if the upcoming "Blood & Chrome" series will answer any questions. :unsure
