Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 3 Comments

I… kinda liked the dancing. (Don't judge me.) It showed a more innocent side of Zoe that's kind of been overshadowed by her zealotry thus far. For a moment, she was just a teenage girl dancing with a cute geekboy.
The intertwined storylines of the Graystones and Adamas is getting a little odd, but there were some nice moments this week. It was good to see that Amanda and Daniel do ultimately have a lot in common and are reaching for the same things, even if they're going about it in completely different ways. They just need to work on their communication skills. On the Adama side, I liked that Sam knows Joseph well enough to not take the hit request seriously, but it was really mean how long he dragged out the ruse. A little Tauron brotherly joking, I suppose.
The Defense Department angle is getting interesting, especially as it's impacting Sister Clarice, Lacey, and Keon. (Plus, um, Peter Wingfield. Yum. What? I'm a Highlander fangirl. Like I said, don't judge me.)
Overall, while it wasn't the best hour of television I've ever seen, it was far from the worst. I think at this point I am genuinely interested in where Caprica is going.
I just watched it and…I really, really like it. There are levels and hints and ambiguity and it's not clear what's going on. The acting is on another level. This is not quick-fix TV. The colours and feel are absolutely transporting. I loved the car (I had no idea whether it was modded since I'm not up on vintage US cars) but it seemed right.
My only problem is that it is almost certainly bound to get cancelled because it is too good.
Aside from a couple of things, I've been liking the show, too. The biggest thing for me was changing my mind set that Caprica isn't about the group, it's about the individuals. So, even though we know what's going to happen to the society, what happens to these particular people is a mystery. I appreciate that.
I really like the cityscapes and the costuming. I want to make a black/white one-shoulder dress like Zoe's!
