Brilliantly done, more compelling than Volume 1, a fabulous prequel to Battlestar Gallactica, Caprica is smart, creative, thought-provoking, exciting television. The characters are varied and interesting; none are particularly likeable but all are intense and most are fascinating.
Caprica explores humanity's precious ideals and preconceptions, reminding us that there are alternative paths to existance and never absolutes. We are sentient but few of us are humane. The blurred bounary between Human and Cylon becomes comprehensible in the intriguing interplay between the "real world" and V-world, between the "original" and the copy. The Cyclons worship a human prophet; they begin their religious training, this oddly vulnerable, newly "born" species, following a dangerous, devious, power-driven human figure-head. The first "skin job" is born. What "IS" the difference between "us" and "them"; the "first" and the machine-based clone?
We all come to our "causes" and beliefs by virtue of our experiences, whatever they are... so, how to decide which to value; which should come to ascendance?
And, all the while, there are the fanatics, the self-serving, and those with charisma, the followers, the "soldiers", and the easily led on both sides. Worship the many gods or the one god; it's "frackin" crazy, whichever you chose (or were born to, or created from).
