Congratulations America
Haven't seen it. After the debacle of the end of BSG I'm not sure I want to start something wonderful and new only to be profoundly disappointed. Am I being too cautious?

I think so, this show has potential.

BSG was one of the best ever. But the last thing I remember about it is that horrible series close. Gahh!

I'm watching, but unless it gets better in a couple of episodes I'm probably going to stop. The pace is just too slow for me..
What on earth is it about? Isn't it just BSG without space battles? That sounds a little <insert good word here>.
I think it shows how the Cylons came about.
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
It is about how the Cylons came about, and their religion. I like how it's done. I also find all the European cars from over the last century quite funny.Originally Posted by Khendraja'aro

How the cylons came about this time. Because if you recall, this has all happened before, and it will all happen again. For some odd reason humans keep popping up and making civilizations that get torn down by the robots they can't seem to recall are too dangerous to make. Rinse and repeat.

Eh, yeah of course, and I might add, how the Colonies' Cylons came about because the original skinjobs aren't really explained by this cyclus. They're sort of a reversed search for their origin it seems.How the cylons came about this time. Because if you recall, this has all happened before, and it will all happen again.

Why didn't you like the end of BSG? Too rushed?
Congratulations America
I just watched the first episode.
It pleased me that young Adama gets his old music back.
Other than that, I don't entirely know what I think of it yet.
Chacha's problem is that he has no soul. The finale of BSG was emotional and meaningful.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
When I first saw you say something like this about that final episode and the wrap up of all the story lines was when I began to Doubt.

Okay, so I just finished watching Caprica up to their midseason cutoff.
It grew on me. A lot.
The set-up that this iteration of cylons want to get revenge on humanity because they began with a teenage girl with (justifiable) daddy issues is just delicious.
The one thing I found odd was that Joseph Adama's assistant was able to manage so well in New Cap City.
I hope she makes it back, often. I thought it was dreadful when they killed her character off on SG-1.

It grew on me too. It was a slow burn, none of the first batch of episodes really drew me in, but it got more interesting later. I think the first really good episode was the one with New Cap City.
I just couldn't take it after episode 3 or 4...something about the little girl's voice in the robot body and all the vague unsubstantiated talk about "big things". It just made me think about the end of BSG too much. Very airy and light...
Yes! I hated that too! GAH!

Never having seen the show, I'm gonna blindly infer that your opinions on the cyclical time deelie have been impacted slightly by Mass Effect 2. How's that am I in the ballpark? No? Meh...
I've seen ads for this show, but to be honest I'm a bit wary of anything on the Syfy, Discovery, or Animal channels now.
Whats Mass Effect too?

Why?
The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun
I hated that they were agents of god walking about and how that invalidated the more entertaining aspects of wondering why Baltar was hallucinating 6 all the time. I hated all the stock footage of our robot toys implying we're going down that road again. I hated the reference to god the entity and what it likes or dislikes. I hated the implication that the Eve creature we're all apparently descended from was the cylon hybrid. I hated that they found humans living on that world already, that they could breed with them, that we are their mixed descendants. I hate that they destroyed all their advanced technology and joined the savages. I hate the implication that god is out there making worlds with poeple on them and experimenting and mixing them and whatever but just can't seem to make humans that don't end up destroying themselves by making artificial mind.

Well said.
Well, I've no arguments with any of that.

Seriously? That was unexpected.
What, you're channeling Nessus now.Like I said, I rather liked it, given the dark, hopeless nature of the tale
Exactly. Why do you have trouble understanding why this appeals to me?
Maybe that's what it wants?
Face it - nuclear Armageddon looks cool. Perhaps perpetual cycles of nuclear annihilation is God's solution to not having TV to watch.
