Caprica "Unvanquished"

Daniel Graystone
and
Sam Adama
A lot can happen in 3 weeks on Caprica. Daniel lost everything, Joseph can no longer go to New Cap City and is now with the Ha'la'tha, Lacy is a terrorist, and Clarice is on Gemenon. Wow.

The best thing about this opener is that it is what was asked for and more. A conclusion to some of the story arcs and the revelations on the outcomes of the various story lines and how they all intertwine into each other. Also it starts new storylines for the characters.

The most interesting thing was that there is a divide withing the monotheist religion. Not all monotheists are terrorists. There are 2 parts, The STO, the terrorists who spread monotheism through fear and the Religious priests who practice the religious traditions. They also give power to who they think deserves it and would spread their word the best.

It is nice to see Caprica going to other planets. I like Caprica, don't get me wrong, but I do want to see the other colonies as well. The Caprica City skyline is beautiful but can get a little boring. Gemenon is a beautiful planet, I am glad to see it and is a good way to start the new half season.

Another interesting thing about "Unaquivished" is that it is an end and it is a beginning for the characters. Ending the way of life and thinking for all of the characters and a new type of life for them. All of the characters have changed very dynamically and will continue to amaze.

I may have said a lot about the Character development but you must remember. 
The whole show is about the characters.
