If the whole show was like this episode I'd be happy with it. But instead I'm dreading more STO/skimpy McCylon girl in VR "plots" that are inevitable next week.

Not for long, since the show apparently got canceled. Here's hoping it gets replaced by carriers in space fighting evil robots hellbent on destroying all humanity. Because sometimes the simplest concepts work.

No, but I might buy you a drink if you're ever around.

No, actually, I'm glad to see Caprica dead because it wasn't telling a story suited for the medium. And it wasn't telling it well.

This was something suited to a novel. It should have been presented that way.

While this is partially true I don't necessarily agree that it couldn't have made it as a show. But to be perfectly honest, while I'm not glad it got canceled, I'm also not really sad about it - I never got attached to it the way I did with BSG.
On a different note, anyone else finding it funny that the first time a Cylon was used intentionally as a battle robot it was in a mafia hit? :)

I've ragged on the show a lot, but I gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.  Every storyline (except for V-world which I hate) was advanced in interesting ways, the overarching plot of the series was in sight, and we had robots, mafia hits, AI advancements, and Adama finally getting laid.  Hopefully they can wrap up the series with an even better last few episodes and everyone can be all "Oh those stupid TV execs canceled another great show before its time!" and forget about all the really boring parts.

Loved finally seeing some Cylon action! And it was a great twist, just blue balled waiting for it by all of the yawnfest drama.
Dont get me wrong, I like seeing character development, but it just never got me past the point of waiting for something intensely kewl to happen.
