I’ve been holding back a rant about the STO story line so long that I think It’s getting impacted.

[/rant] P.S. you should post a blog about 24 so I can rant about the Dana Walsh subplot that refuses to die. Just when you think its gonna end, they come up with more lame shenanigans next episode. [rant/]

“And now to pop several caps in your ass:”

Not your best literary device.

I’m betting that the kid running away was a clumsy plot device. Sort of like Zoe getting blown up on the train. I know she needs to be dead, but why would her boyfriend of all people want to blow her up?

Gamer: Yeah. It’s kinda like a different version of Caprica City. They update it so it matches…

TA: OK, what’s the object of the game?

Gamer: It’s a mystery. It’s almost like, figuring out the object of the game *is* the object of the game. But we think it’s about getting things that convert into points, like money, or weapons -

TA: So no one’s ever finished it? Or won it?

Gamer: Not yet. There’s this thing – when you die in the game, you’re out – you can’t ever come back…

And that is when I knew: Caprica is going to be a very awesome show.

few things:

I really appreciated the continued respect toward the classical Greek inspired mythos that informs the worlds these characters inhabit. The Tauron funeral was well-done, and the music fantastic; the vocalist did great and how it leads into the Adama family theme was more thana little touching.

oh well. so those proto-Vipers they kept showing in ads leading up to this episode ended up being kinda pointless and only exist in the V-world (at least as far as I know at this point).

Absolutely could not believe how well done the VFX are on this show…Not just New Cap City, but the other little things, such as the boardroom shot where Cyrus walks in and tells Daniel about his votes and walks out. stunning.

I didn’t quite get why the kid would run away from Joseph after telling him about Tamara. Does he hate the real world that much?

how about Willy’s aim with big rocks? awesome.

I get the high rating. This was a very good-looking episode with some interesting plot points and things to look out for in the future. I just didn’t feel like a consistent whole episode, but more like three stories from three episodes spliced together randomly. Still, I watch the show because it is compelling and the writers have proven themselves with BSG. I know it will get better from here on out.
