Beginning of Line Continues Caprica Where Syfy Left Off

by Teresa Jusino – It’s so awesome that I’m able to write about this as Sylvia is beginning her wonderful (and much-needed) series on fan fiction. In addition to being a fun and worthwhile pursuit in its own right, it has proven to be the lifeline through which its source material can continue to exist. Before Doctor Who returned to television in 2005, it existed solely as fan fiction for a good sixteen years, and many of the writers of the 2005 Who were products of fandom. People like Steven Moffat (the show’s current showrunner) and Paul Cornell (writer of some of the most popular stories in New Who) were writing fan fiction, keeping their beloved property alive any way they could! And now, Doctor Who is the most popular show on the BBC all these years later. All because fans just wouldn’t leave it alone.

So Long, Caprica

sasha-roiz2

The structure of Colonial society was far more interesting than the Cylon bits or the religious bits and could have led to deeply thought-provoking discussions. Caprica was a missed opportunity to do some hard-hitting science fiction addressing the multitude of problems on Earth (terrorism, which has been well represented in the show, is not the only problem we have; nor is it the biggest).

Caprica: False Labor

caprica-false-labor

So, I’m sitting there, trying to watch Caprica, and all I can smell is cat pee. I think the that put a significant damper on my Caprica viewing experience. The other, non-peeing cat, had no such problems as she sat calmly on the ottoman, watching the entire show. I’ve only ever seen her do this with the Wesminster Dog Show.

Caprica: Things We Lock Away

Hey, costume people? Let’s talk for a minute. I have a question. What the hell are you doing?Are you trying to make Alessandra Toressani look awful? Are you? She’s a cute girl the size of my pinky and you are dressing her terribly. Look, skintight metallics don’t look good on anyone except for American Apparel models and even they look like 1980s public access dance video understudies.

Caprica: Retribution

caprica-clarice-holoband

As good as Carpica is, I’m finding that I’m simply not that interested in the architects of the Colonies’ ultimate destruction. We already know that, somehow, they’ll both succeed. What I’m interested in is the Adama family and I’m disappointed that there hasn’t been more of them. Cylons and grief and religion aside, the Adamas are the heart of the series. It’s their struggles – not Cylons – that tie BSG and Caprica together. I need more Adama and I need more Adama soon.

Caprica: Unvanquished

So, it was grief and generalized fear of death that lead to the downfall of civilization. That’s hell of an advert for grief counseling.

The Mysterious Case of Sasha Roiz

sasha-roiz-1

From the notes of Detective Teresa A. Jusino – It would’ve been easy to just let this go as just another case of re-fried brain, but the moment I looked at his face, even with the holoband on and under a year’s worth of facial hair, I recognized him. Just like that, the case became personal, and I had to find out what was at the bottom of it. The victim’s name is Sasha Roiz. And I knew him.

Caprica: End of Line

The colonies have mastered interplanetary travel, but they haven’t come up with better key ring technology? I’m bothered by this.

Caprica: The Imperfections of Memory

True story. While playing Mario Kart on Wii, I fell off the track on Wario’s Gold Mine, killing my driver yet again. My four year old cousin sighed deeply, in the way that only a creepily smart tot can, and said, “Lisa, I know what you have to do. Try not to die.”

Caprica: Know Thy Enemy

By Lisa Fary – The lesson in this week’s episode of Caprica is related to trust. As in, don’t trust anyone because they’re either lying to you or are just using you for some other end. However, today’s Caprica Cares PSA has nothing to do with trusting or using people. Instead, it’s about digital presentation software.

Caprica Preview – In Which I Objectify the Adamas

Caprica: There is Another Sky

By Lisa Fary – Mercifully, this episode was free of any mention of Soldiers of the One or Zoe’s undead drama. Really, if I want to watch paranoia toward a given religion week after week, I’d just watch Fox News.

Caprica: Gravedancing

In this episode, we not only get helpful PSAs, we also get an interstellar ad for Ford. When the rag tag fugitive fleet got here about 150,000 years ago, they brought the knowledge of the Ford Motor Company with them. You can throw the technology into the sun, but you can’t unlearn the design of the Ford Galaxie. You can only pass it down through the generations until it gets made for a brief period, and morphs into a minivan.

Caprica: Rebirth

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.

Caprica Rising: Report from the Syfy Set Tour

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.
