I kept watching and watching waiting for this magic that everyone said exists in the show, but so far it just lacks any plot or characters that I really care about.

    Basically it's humans being dumb and messing with each other just with a sci-fi backdrop instead of the usual Beverly Hills backdrop. None of the characters are particularly appealing (including the cute Korean chick who I admit was one of the main reasons I started watching this show). The first episode was intense with the 33 minutes plot, but after that it's just been blah. I'm fully expecting Muffet to show up and I'll give up on this show.

    Please please please someone tell me season 2 makes this series worth watching.
    If you don't like it by now, you probably won't. It's more than just "Melrose Space" though. There will be some sweet military victories soon. And some of the Cylons will repent. And some will be revealed. There is always the threat of sleeper agents. The last season has been pretty intense, too.

    I've seen the original series and it was pretty cool with the exception of some of the stuff targeting the younger audience (Boxey and Muffett), but essentially it was the same thing: people do dumb shit on different planets that gets them in trouble.

    Episode 11 of season 1 was pretty cool with the discovery and character development (especially with Boomer and Helo on Caprica). Waiting for disk 5 to arrive with its one measly episode to finish season 1. I'm going to try season 2 and hope it's more compelling.

    It's like having ...

    No it's like nothing else.
    What an end ...

  5. #185
    This series probably had the best, most closure inducing ending ever. Extremely well done.

  6. #186
    Assassin, you'll agree that, having the closure unfolding as a theory of evolution (Macross Zero Style) is pretty bold and brought with style.

    Too bad, the Special Effects Sucked.

    I'm in the middle of season 2.5. The show has really picked up and been pretty fantastic throughout season 2 and 2.5. Definitely worth watching.

    Did you download the series or streaming it? Since I saw the Caprica pilot I felt the urge to want to watch the series, though I don't have the HD space or patience to download it in bulk.

    Wow, just saw the season 3 finale, pretty amazing stuff. What a bomb, 4 of the final 5 Cylons revealed (or is it a hoax) and you get a good idea of who the 5th and final Cylon is.

    So in summary so far, season 1 is so-so, season 2 is kick-ass, season 3 had its ups and downs but starts and ends kick-ass. Here's hoping season 4 is as awesome as the previous two.

    Season 4 is in my opinion by far the best season :P

    You mean "Daniel", the one that was boxed? I'm pretty sure he is, well, boxed.

    Too bad this show had poor SFX

    Daniel was not boxed; we do not know what happened to the Daniel model.

    Well I thought it was Starbuck but of course that's wrong.

    I finished season 4 and the series today. Pretty amazing series.

    It's not the complete end though. According to tv.com there's a movie coming out on SciFi in Nov 2009 about the lead up to the Cylon attack on Caprica.

    Glad you stuck with it! I didn't like the way a few things ended (starbuck) but overall, great series. And Cavill didn't box Daniel, per se, but rather, corrupted his genetic code, so that no more could be made. Interestingly, the creator of the cylons' name is Daniel.

    Don't forget about the series "Caprica". It's the story of the creation of the Cylons on Caprica and leads up to the first war. We will be seeing "Daniel" there. Kind of cheesy, but the Adama family is involved...

    I thought the spirits thing was out there but worked somehow. I love how the visions of Hera tied everything together in the end. Starbuck's farewell was eerie and supernatural, but again, it worked somehow. I do like how everything was concluded and the fate of the fleet.

    I don't know if I could get into these pre-war side projects. I imagine anything from these writers and producers would be fantastic, but I'd miss a BSG without the characters we've come to know and care about.

    Caprica needs action, I nearly fell asleep watching it. Doesnt have the heart warming atmosphere of Eureka, nor the action package of BSG. Just drama revolving around future, tech, and bots.
