Wow - the great enterprise continues. These guys, these writers are beyond first rate. Every wonder how it all started??? This is really interesting, especially after all the seasons of BG and the twists and turns. Slower in pace, far more time to fill out the details.

Highly recommended. Will follow it to see where it goes.

(VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Caprica Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)

Ever wonder where the Gods come from, how the different planets see things, or why the one god is so big amongst the Cyclons? There are a lot of things that work as answers setting here. We start out by seeing two men from two very different walks of life; one is a man that created an interface that takes internet living to another level and the other is a guy that does "favors" for people and makes the deaf hear. While their lives seem totally different, the two will find a connection in the most horrific of ways, leading them on the road to create A-I that ultimately causes a war.

The things that happen in the pilot episodes are really amazing. They take the idea of what a technological planet is and then show you its dark underbelly, basically helping you to understand the minds of three young kids. Then you see the parents of these kids and you wonder about the motives of everyone and what will spark this Cyclon revolution.
and then you get your answer.

I know a lot of people loved B-G but, in the end of its run, I questioned the why behind it all. I really felt myself slipping away and did not want a taste of that again. The way B-G started out felt good but, really, the ending left much to the desires of many of us. Hopefully, Caprica is not the same. The acting is great, plot is twining, and the lines are fresh. There are even oddities in sexuality - things not expected, not oddities in the "bad" sense - and I loved that. I honestly loved seeing inside the guarded shells of the lives of such predominant people, too, and knowing what makes them tick.

If you NEVER watch the series, check this out as the two - parter. I doubt you will be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Started Slow, Ended with Divinity, March 27, 2011

Axlerod - See all my reviews

This review is from: Caprica Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)

I was initially disappointed with this show because it moved very slowly. I mean, come on! BSG moved so quickly and managed to flush out each character. I think it remains the best show on TV. But in the last 5 shows of this series, it kicks it up to the point that my rating jumped from 3 to 5 stars. Float through episdoes 1-14 and then feel the gravit pull on the last 5! It answers so many questions. Now just waiting for Blood and Chrome.
