[morwen_peredhil]

Help me out here, flist. Is it worth catching up on Caprica or not?

Alas, that was the stuff that drove me crazy about BSG. I miss pilots and flippy ships! (Which, to be fair, they never promised us on this show.)

[morwen_peredhil]

If we could fast-forward to the Cylon rebellion, I would be all over this show.

I have enjoyed Caprica but completely~ against my will. It's on the verge of getting really good, just mediocre, or awful, however. And it will on spin on, I think, tonight's episode featuring Tamara Adams and hopefully resolving a bit of Polly Walker's M.O. (idkkk).

It's compelling in different ways than BSG; it's a bit CWish.

THERE IS NO ABUSIVE SOCIOPATHIC MALE TO CLING TO YET, however. Ughhhh.

[morwen_peredhil]

I WATCH CW SHOWS. UGH.

I WOULD LOVE THIS SHOW IF IT WOULD GIVE ME A SOCIOPATHIC MURDERER/GOOD GIRL OTP.

[liminalliz]

ME TOOO.

There are opportunities for such otps, but the pairing isn't awesome? The two besties are Lee's gay great uncle Sam Adama who is a criminal and a lover and a father figure and I love him so much and Lee's aunt Tamara Adams who is another GRAMMA CYLON. TAMARAAAAA.

anyway. watch it and report back!

WARNING AGAIN! I like it against my will, so my expectations are pretty low. And I fast forward through a lot of scenes featuring the blonde wife.

I've seen the pilot and the first two episodes, and so far I mostly want to smack the various characters upside the head. Happened a lot faster than it did with BSG. Sigh.

Caprica gets better each week. It's not on BSG level but I really like it. You haven't seen Tamara go all bad ass yet in V-world, have you?

[morwen_peredhil]

I've only seen the pilot and the first two eps.

[greycoupon]

Keep going. It does get better. Sam Adama and Tamara are the most interesting characters on the show.

The last three episodes are really good. I say plow through them. The better characters are getting more time than the annoying ones which is making a lot of difference. I am finding I am thinking less of BSG when I watch and more of ROME.

[morwen_peredhil]

Rome, huh? Sounds promising.

[hercircumstance]

I don't even associate it with BSG. It's really the best thing to do as there are no pilots. Pilots was BSG for me. This is just an entirely different show with a bunch of Rome and Deadwood people in it. And I like the Adamas. And I actually like the VR stuff at once. Not Zoe (she is way too Degrassi for me), but the other kids later on are good.

Pay no attention to my answers. I just clicked the ones that sounded prettiest! (I saw a promo pic, but that was all.)

Being an obsessee of a certain hotass paramedic. I should know a little of even BSG, but I only know... he had nice arms back then too.

SO my ultimate wisdom is this, watch if you like apples, and don't if you don't!

[morwen_peredhil]

You should watch BSG up until Crashdown gets killed off. It was still really, really good when SW was on the show.
