Caprica?

Post Reply New Topic

Looking around various points on the interwebs this show has fairly favorable reviews...

So, to those who have seen it, especially BSG fans, is it worth seeing?

Should I bump season 1 to the top of my netflix queue?

Should I just get to it when it get to it?

Or, should I not even waste my time?

i would recommend it if you liked BSG

I am liking it so far, it is a bit more grittier then BSG, not to sure when season 2 starts, I hate having to wait a long time between seasons

I really enjoyed it too. So far they are only half way through Season 1. There has been a long gap since episode 9, but it starts again in October.

I quite identified with Zoe(A) being stuck in the cylon body. I feel kind of the same way sometimes. At one moment thinking 'see me, notice me, I'm actually alive in here' but at the same time only carrying on with my normal behaviour without any deeper connection to anyone. Just act the part for as long as it takes and hope people will then leave you alone.

Also think the technology like the holobands and touch-paper is really cool. I'd love to be able to live in v-world, be anyone, do anything with no consequences. Actually given the choice I'd probably stay there all the time, but so far SecondLife doesn't quite come close to the full experience.

Caprica has some interesting scenes and ideas, but it was too much like -The Matrix-. I like things that happen in real space, not cyber space.

I didn't expect much from it, so I was honestly surprised. There's an actual story in there! It's definitely on the "darker and edgier" trope of things (think Angel to BSG's Buffy, or Torchwood to BSG's Doctor Who), but it's actually quite good indeed. If you liked BSG, and if you liked the "feel" of Razor, Caprica is a very good one to watch.

i was crazy 'bout bsg....but am disappointed in caprica. too much.......well, too much religion amongst other things. just the feel of the thing.......

will i watch the new episodes? yes. would i rather find out what happened to kara thrace? yes.

I liked it at first, but started to get really irritated at the (lack of) acting ability by virtually every teenager in the cast. My wife's niece does youth community theater and I would pick anyone I've seen in any of the plays I've gone to over any teenager in the cast. Where did they find this cast? Raiding Hot Topic or something?

Its just painful, the same vapid expression and monotone voice in scene after scene. Got to the point where I had DVR'd a bunch of episodes but could not bring myself to watch them.
