I did not like Caprica today. I just felt like the episode wasn't going anywhere the whole time we were watching. It was pretty cool to see the beginning of the Cylons but beyond that there wasn't much to it. I didn't really see any story progression as the episode went on. We found out that they worshipped the singular God, and it became pretty obvious that the guy killed himself as a martyr. Then the Dad discovered the virtual world thing and it just kind of seemed to come to a standstill. Maybe if we had kept watching we would have seen everything fall into place together, but for me there was no foreseeable way for them to do that. I feel like any reconciliation between the father who was wearing black gloves and his son was just going to be a forced, cheesy scene. They would probably get in some sort of fight and, even though they almost died, they came out on top together. I think that the girl who died on the train's friend was going to die at some point while the girl's dad is nearby trying to figure out the problem with the digitally projected girl. But what do I know? Maybe my ideas are better than what really happened and I should look into a career as a writer for TV. Or maybe I've just seen enough movies and shows to know what to expect, in which case I could write for a really boring show.
