By Lisa Fary – I disparaged the existence of Caprica when it was announced last year. Since I always want quality television, I’m happy to say that I was wrong about this series back then. “Rebirth” was really good; I’m talking season one BSG/Heroes/Lost good. It’s already far more intellectually demanding than BSG ever was; hopefully that won’t damn the show to a single season existence.

By Sylvia Bond – I pretty much think that Thursday will be forever stamped into my night as being Supernatural-and-Sam-is-tied-up night. People know not to call me, even when it’s hiatus time. (But they still do; I’ve learned not to answer the phone.)

By Melissa Voelker – atching the webseries made me realize several things: 1) I want to go to PAX really really really badly (but this year its on the East coast instead of in Seattle which is close to me. Lame), 2) I’m jealous of the ease with which Tycho and Gabe think up jokes and stories for their comic strips, and 3) I want to work at the Penny Arcade offices.

By TrinityVixen – Glad to see that ol’ Petrelli survival instinct is still sharp as ever. We’ll catch up on the homoerotic reunion between Peter and Sylar next week. For all that Matt’s maneuver is stolen explicitly from both Neil Gaiman’s Sandman and Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” it was a genius little bit of thinking outside of the conventional box for this show.

By Lisa Fary – When did the world get the idea that “entertainment value” and “quality” can’t exist in the same production?

By Rhea Dee – Well, it has finally happened. Walter let slip a tiny hint that there’s some big secret about Peter. What’s awesome is that it didn’t happen in the way I expected it to at all.

by Sabrina Boyer – That’s right folks. Jonathan is a SUPA-STAH! Okay. I suppose I waited so long to write this review of this episode because, and I don’t know if this is okay with you other Buffy fans, I pretty much despise this episode. It’s my LEAST favorite, hands down. Even more so than Bad Eggs from season two.

By Lisa Fary – It’s still January and 2010 is already way more impressive to my sci-fi dreams than the entire last decade.

By Lisa Fary – Don’t look so surprised, NBC. You had to know this was coming. The important thing is that we’re all here because we care about you and want to help you beat your addiction. Your addiction to failure.

By WorldofHiglet – Dr. Graystone (it’s important I remember he’s a DOCTOR – more on this later) also has his secret lab under the house. Okay, it’s not technically a secret, but since he is meddling in things he doesn’t understand, secret sounds better. The lab is suitably impressive and includes a beautifully scary cylon-prototype. And yes, I did have a picture taken next to it but sadly it didn’t come out. And no, it didn’t whisper “By your command” when I asked it for spoilers.

By WorldofHiglet – There is a long-running debate about whether religion and science-fiction have any business together. Religion was woven into the fabric of BSG and it will be with Caprica, too, and I think it adds a welcome dimension to the characters and story-telling.

By TrinityVixen – As with Vanessa’s story, there’s a moment where Claire recognizes that Sylar is a freakbag and tells him what is and is not ever going to happen for him. Then she pours her heart out to him (albeit unknowing) and doesn’t punish him for using her, for stealing her confidence and abusing her body. In fact, things are better than ever now that she can be Gretchen’s girlfriend. The fact that this development unites two sexist clichés—making women gay for ratings and the meme that abuse is good for you—is a new low for this show.

By WorldofHiglet – One of the exciting aspects of the pilot being released so far ahead of the series is that it has given plenty of time to imagine where things might be headed and what little twists we might see on the way. So, for instance, I have an interesting sub-plot relating to the young William Adama and his daggett that runs around my head from time to time.

By Rhea Dee – Good news: Fringe is back to form following that bizarre little special episode! It’s a good thing too, because that Tuesday Special left a bad taste in my mouth.

By Jenn Kim – I was never a huge Angie Harmon fan (though I think that can be attributed more towards my apathy towards Law and Order than her overall performance in it), but I genuinely appreciated how much fun she seemed to have in “Chuck vs. Operation Awesome.” And how could she not?

By WorldofHiglet – There is another angle that is hinted at but not explored in depth in the pilot. What about the friendship between Zoe, Lacy and Ben? How did they meet? Why is their relationship so strong – is it because of their shared experiences in the V Club?
