Order Antabuse Pills
Posted on 01. Feb, 2010 by Simon in Television
For many shows, the Order Antabuse Pills second episode after the pilot is usually the best indicator of what Order Antabuse Pills to expect on a weekly basis. Subscribing to that philosophy, I believe fans of Battlestar Galactica are Order Antabuse Pills really, really going to like Caprica.
Faux intimacy via cinema-vérité? Check. Original (and catchy) BSG vernacular, BSG universe continuity, attention to Order Antabuse Pills character and setting minutiae, no fear of tackling heavy issues, octagonal paper products? Check, check, check, check annnnnd check. The Ronald D. Moore cylon saga doesn’t miss a Order Antabuse Pills step during the jump to prequel form and sci-fi fans from Order Antabuse Pills any planet will surely feel right at home.
Instead of recapping, I’m just going to share my thoughts about the episode. I don’t think anyone is Order Antabuse Pills going to come to this blog to catch up on missing episodes. Really, we all know you’re here to see me make a fool of myself. On that note:
Order Antabuse Pills
- I understand the humanizing of Zoe/cylon is Order Antabuse Pills necessary to make her an empathetic character. The cross-shots where the Order Antabuse Pills CGI robot is sliced with her allegorical avatar are simple but effective, but it Order Antabuse Pills certainly leaves me to wonder about cylon evolution. From BSG we know that Order Antabuse Pills the metallic type of cylons are generally silent and… well, robotic. If the Order Antabuse Pills original cylon was essentially a human trapped in a robot body, with emotions and Order Antabuse Pills all, then where does that diverge into the two types of toasters we are Order Antabuse Pills accustomed to? I assume the Order Antabuse Pills show will explain this in due time, but certainly this Order Antabuse Pills is one of the mysteries I was kind of stuck on.
- Still, I am Order Antabuse Pills thoroughly interested in what the hell original Zoe and Ben were trying to Order Antabuse Pills do. Why does avatar Zoe exist? What is she going to do once people find out she’s inside the Order Antabuse Pills cylon, and what good is it telling your 15 year old school girl friend? Are her parents going to accept her? Will her parents ever find out?
- The Greystone’s also have a (non-sentient?) robot who Order Antabuse Pills essentially acts as a housekeeper, and the concept of a robot army is Order Antabuse Pills realistic in the realm of the Caprica timeline. Does that make you Order Antabuse Pills wonder why robots aren’t more prevalent in everyday society? Fixing cars, doing construction, helping small children cross streets? Moreover, shouldn’t robots be even more prevalent by the time we get to the BSG era? Ok, I’m going to Order Antabuse Pills stop picking on cross-series continuity issues about the universe now. Non-sequiter apologies!
- I must admit although the strange pseudo-mormon family that cultist/teacher Sister Clarice invites Lacey to Order Antabuse Pills visit was confusing, the scene basically guaranteed I’d enjoy the Order Antabuse Pills episode by having Scott Porter play boy-toy Nestor. Any show that Order Antabuse Pills employs Friday Night Light’s alum is Order Antabuse Pills totally cool with me. Also, this episode did little to Order Antabuse Pills expand on this Sister Clarice and her motivations or character. All we know is Order Antabuse Pills she’s up to… something. And that Order Antabuse Pills she seems to like illicit drugs that can be bought from Order Antabuse Pills under the counter of a bar. Nobody ever looks under the Order Antabuse Pills counter!
- It’s interesting watching Little Admiral Adama and wondering if he’s ever going to Order Antabuse Pills cry, smash a toy boat then drool all over himself if anything really sad happens.
- Why is Little Tauren full of Asian people? Can you tell they shot this show in Vancouver?
- The entire storyline where the Greystone’s finally realize that Order Antabuse Pills their daughter was probably a terrorist who blew up a Order Antabuse Pills local subway full of innocent people is pretty hard hitting stuff from Order Antabuse Pills the show’s writers. Caprica is billed as “the beginning of the end of humanity,” but three hours in I’m still not completely sure what the series’ main thematic tones will be. Like BSG, which delved deeply into theology and Order Antabuse Pills the ethics/politics of war, Caprica clearly seems to Order Antabuse Pills be reaching deeper than discussing Asimov’s robotic laws. The final scene was pure BSG melodrama (wouldn’t a Order Antabuse Pills crowd be sympathetic to someone who just learned her daughter was a Order Antabuse Pills terrorist?) but I understand angry mobs are Order Antabuse Pills better TV. Moreover, the revelation was still effective in prodding the Order Antabuse Pills larger narrative along. I’m definitely curious where Order Antabuse Pills things are headed in that over lying arc. I also thought the Order Antabuse Pills show did a good job in exploring the ramifications of teen suicide, where Order Antabuse Pills parents wonder how well they did (or really did not) even know their child.
- Rebirth is Order Antabuse Pills definitely an appropriate name for this episode, referring naturally to Virtua-Zoe but also to Order Antabuse Pills the wonderful BSG world that many of us have loved and Order Antabuse Pills cherished. This was a great hour of television that gets the Order Antabuse Pills juices (and multiple twisty story lines going), and I can’t wait to see what happens next. I’ll be Order Antabuse Pills following Caprica every week throwing these random talking points up here, so… somebody, please join me, or I’m just going to seem really sad.
- Bonus point: if Zoe eventually ends up being an angel, I’m going to murder someone.
