I wanted to keep my Caprica talk to a minimum until the midseason break. But I just couldn't.
Caprica is the new SyFy series based in the Battlestar Galactica universe. Daniel Graystone created the Cylons and 58 years later our mechanical slaves nuked the colonies and started a saga that will last a lifetime. But I digress.
Caprica brings us the story of two families suffering the aftermath of a terrorist bombing on a train. The Graystones, a high class Caprican family that is drawn by money, and the Adamas a Tauron family living on Caprica that that is consumed by power. each family lost a daughter who now live in a virtual world as a life after death.
Caprica started out with one of the best (and wierdest) pilots ever seen. Ron Moore tells a great first chapter in an hour and a half that Kubrick would spend 3 to four hours telling. Fast paced , crazy, and aesthetically pleasing, Pilot gives newbies an opportunity to enter the Galactica universe for the first time and not be completely lost.
The episodes after that? Great, although not the best each episode keeps the story going and keeps us in that same fast paced world that we entered in.
I had my reservations when it was announced that Eric Stoltz would play showrunner Daniel Graystone but that worry was immediately taken away after I saw his first scene. I am torn between three characters as my favorite of the show. Zoe Graystone (Alessandra Torresani), Lacy Rand (Magda Apanowicz), or Tamara Adama (Genevieve Buechner). All three are immensely talented and it will take much more time until I find a favorite.
Overall the show get a 9.5 out of 10. Mainly because of a slow start after the pilot.
Hoping to make weekely updates now of each episode.
