I thought this was actually a pretty good one. I think that Amanda will survive.
-
A lot of action in this one.But I was wondering the same thing about Amanda.She probably will survive because I dont think the ghost/angel of her brother will let her die.
Plus im guessing she will have a near death moment and become a monotheist after.Since Zoe killed Philimon (is that his name?) he might become Zoes head person.
Zoe might survive as well since shes in a robot.But she will be pretty damaged.What did you all think of those proto Raptors?
Speaking of raptors did you see on the TV daniel was watching they mentioned a Caprican raptor bird?Coincidence?
I also fraking hate it that we have to wait a bunch of months to see the rest of the season.
-
I thought it was a thrilling episode.
At the start amanda is watching a documentary on the same bridge she jumps from, which said virtually no jumpers survive. Be a bit of a cop out if she does. Killing philomon was a bit :O
Also, why would there be no security cameras in such a important lab? Surely those tapes would get watched and find the truth of zoe.
-
Well, i ASSUME Amanda will survive. However, everyones going to be focusing on the car bomb rather than noticeing someone jumped off a bridgearen't they? he only people that can save her are Clarice and co (Seeming there car blew up, will people assume they're terrorists?)
Robot: I have TOTALLY no idea if the robot (or the zoe part of it) survived or not... out of expectations of TV, i'd say it survived, but all those flashbacks seem to suggest otherwise.
Was Daniels phone call about Amanda or the Robot?
If the robots survived that somehow, will the military see just how strong this thing is and continue going with Graystone, or are they still going to be supporting Virgis?
Also, wow, that explains who the person really helping Adama is, I totally didn't see that one coming. At all.
-
That surprised me too
but how did she knew Herucles? She definitely mentioned him by name
-
I actually predicted that she would be that chick in V-world, after someone else mentioned she's Bill's future mum-inlaw. :P
-
I thought this was a really depressing episode. I mean, almost every one of the main characters went into a downward spiral into the darkest parts of themselves. Joseph Adama becomes addicted to v-world and finding Tamara, Amanda Graystone becomes even more depressed and tries to commit suicide, Zoe-A becomes consumed with hate and kills a guy she actually felt close to, Daniel Graystone has to watch his whole world collapse around him, and Lacey was forced to detonate a bomb and become a terrorist.
Seriously, I feel so bad for these people. Everything that could go wrong, has. As cliffhanger episodes go, this one was a total downer.
-
That surprised me too
but how did she knew Herucles? She definitely mentioned him by name
Back when the kid first talked to Adama and then freaked out and ran, Joe had Evelyn track him down from the security camera footage from the apartment hall. I guess she found out more than just his name and his job.
I'd been suspecting that Emmanuelle was actually Tamara, but between Evelyn appearing this week and seeing the two of them in a scene together (and the fact that she knew Joe had missed Billy's first tattoo*) I figured out it was her before the reveal. I was surprised that she was Tauranian, too.
*That was an interesting little tidbit. We saw Bill without his shirt on more than once in BSG, so where exactly are his tauron tats?
-
his ass.
-
Seriously, I feel so bad for these people. Everything that could go wrong, has. As cliffhanger episodes go, this one was a total downer.
Surely, as cliff hangrs go, everything that could go wrong is MEANT to go wrong, otherwise it just wouldnt be a cliffhanger. If zoe hadn't killed Phil and ran away, lacey had blown up a car, Amanda hadn't jumped off a bridge, Daneil hadn't practically lost the Cylon contract, Joseph had somehow gotten Tamara out of V-World (etc), it would be a 'everyone lives hapilly ever after' episode...
-
Heres a thought. Mabey vergis and graystone will do a company merger?
Also in BSG (I forget which episode) Adama said his mother was Evelyn. That means Evelyn and Joseph are going to get married. And Adamas "mother" is really his step mother.
As for the tattoos. He probably had laser surgery. Perhaps when he was a teen he decides hes Caprican and wants to get rid of his Tauron roots.
Edited for space lovers.
-
Umm. That has been known ever since Evelyn first appeared, IIRC.
Also, would it really hurt you to put spaces after ending sentences?

Well, I expected some feces to hit the fan; but things went wrong in this episode in a spectacular fashion. Not saying I didn't enjoy the episode though.
-
And another bsg actor - actress, actually - makes it to "Caprica". Good episode, too bad about the mid season break. Those suck.
-
Newman are you talking about the guy who played Gaeta? He did some singing for the opera song in the episode but he didnt play any character. On the opera song topic isnt it weird that this one was in English and not in a language like Greek or Latin?
Once again you all should really read the article on Bears blog about the music for this ep.

Gaydar was in the score, sure, but dont' tell me you didn't recognize the Galactica's Sgt-At-Arms? Her identical grandmother was apparently high up in the Caprican Defense forces...
-
Apparently saying "actress" wasn't enough of a clue that I wasn't talking about a guy :)
Anyways, Melvin's nailed it. http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Hadrian

Somting i just noticed about those 2 military aircraft that where in the show throughout the episode: They aren't the same design as each other. Atleast, in the picture of them on Bears blog (someone psted a link to said blog a few posts up). One of them looks to be a transport aircraft, mostly because the main body reminds me of a chinook helicopters main body (minus rotor area), with added wings and jets. The other, to me atleast, looks like some form of gunship, just somthing about the shape...
-
They kinda looked like jet ospreys to me.
-
Yep, that's what I thought. A jet version of the Osprey.
-
yep. Though they had distinctly helicopterish shaped bodies.
It's pretty cool that they went to the trouble of making 2 different designs too, especially if they're aren't really used again.
-
The one on the left is a CH-60 with a VTOL jet wings get up. The one on the right looks a bit more original. To be honest I'm a little disappointed that they would just kitbash a Blackhawk.
-

I'm sure they could probably be used again. Did no-one tell you? a war is coming
-
... Did no-one tell you? a war is coming
And in light of the badassitude displayed by Tamara - towards her father, no less - and the apparent damage dealt to Zoe, I still say that Tamara's gonna be the one to light it off when it happens.
-
I'm still thinking it's going to be some form of a mixture of both of them. I mean, Tamara seems to of quickly become a (virtual) badass, while Zoe is a monotheist, note the Cylon religeon
-
I'm thinking they might go for a gradual loss of humanity with Zoe. She's already killed one person - her "boyfriend", no less - and injured another. They're probably not the last victims, either, since I really doubt they'll kill off Zoe mid season. Might even do a Zoe vs Tamara at some point with Tamara being more human of the two.
What bothers me is the mid season finale, just as I was starting to care about the show. With bsg it was different - the mini hooked me immediately. Caprica was more of an acquired taste for me. At any rate, anyone know how long till the show resumes?
-
Wikipedia says late September, but who knows...
-
Frak! And we dont even have a good completed BSG game to satisfy my BSG cravings! What am I supposed to do till september?
-

Didnt you already complain about that last week? :P
September isn't too long, it's quite a small amount of time compared the the 2 halves of the final seaosn of BSG :P
-
Whats a seaosn?
-
Whats a seaosn?
It's a type of weapon usually used to brutally murder people who ask stupid questions. It could also be a "season" typo, depending on the context.

LOl. I was just pointing out a typo. I know wolfy meant season.

What sort of annoyed me was when Zoe escapes it looks like a factory instead of the basement of the house?
Just continuity items like this are driving me a bit batty.
-
Found some info on The Caprican and apparently...
Amanda really is dead
-

I'm pretty sure that they moved Zoe from Daniel's lab to the main Graystone Industries lab in order to do the "format" of the MCP.
-

I think she seems to keep on moving between the lab in the hosue, and the lab at Graystone industries.
I mean, it's ot like shes only ever bee n in the huse since the series began, we've seen her out and about at places (well, the board meeting at Graystone Industries anyway)
-

Well, all it says for sure is that she jumped.

There was something in there about "couldn't get there in time for her"
-
Without a body we can't be sure.
You know how it is with TV shows :)
-
True.
-
Especially since the actress in question is still doing show publicity stuff now, and they just wrapped photography on the 1.5 finale...
-
I think she seems to keep on moving between the lab in the hosue, and the lab at Graystone industries.
Wolfy,you really need to spell check before you post. Not trying to be a spell check Nazis but I get harassed for things as stupid as not spacing at the end of sentences. I think its only fair that I get to correct others as well.

You mean "spell check Nazi", not "nazis". Singular as opposed to plural. And making posts easy to read by spacing after sentences isn't stupid, it's standard practice :)

The stupid thing here is, I can't see whats wrong with the spelling :P.
Also, you dont need to put a space at the end of every sentance, just at the end of every paragraph (spelling? :P). So, a small cluster or 2 or 3 sentances on a similar topic dont need their own lines.
-
Heres a good new rule for this forum. No one should correct anyone on how they spell or type. Just an idea. A good one I think.
A quick question. How do you do the spoiler thing again? I have one but want to block it out.
-
[ spoiler] [ /spoiler]
Just remove the spaces.

Thanks for the code Sparda. The spoiler is a great line from the preview of the next half of the season.

Isn't that a bit early for the Cylon War? They didn't even start to mass produce them.
This might be the start of the rebellion of the "one true god" followers.
Unless they jump several years in the timeline, but that would kill the "Caprica is more like 'Dallas' " statement.
-
Well rather than downloading themselves into robot bodys the STO may simply use the Cylons as there own soldiers.But the Cylons turn against not only the rest of humanity but also the STO because they dont want to be used as tools.And from the preview it looks like they may start mass producing them.

Maybe but, from where did the STO get the industrial capacitys to build Cylons? It's not like building toasters or refrigerators in a small hall, building a highly complex Mechanism like a Cylon requires more then that.
Hm, maybe Vergis? Are there any connections between Vergis and the STO?
I think that this trailer is pretty misleading, something they did with BSG too, i doubt they start the War in season one.
But they sure gonna prepare it.
-
Thats what I was thinking, maybe Virgis in charge of the company, creating Cylons yet has links to the STO.
However, I really dont know if Daniel will loose the company yet. But i found that Daniel ringing Joseph and asking for help interesting. I keep thinking there's going to be a legal battle, with Joseph defending Daniel
Also, in that trailer, we see the Tamara avatar in a fight, i couldn't QUITE tell who she was fighting, but it kind of looked like the Zoe avatar. Also, I thought i briefly saw Amanada. ah well, we'll see in a few more months... After an exciteing season of SGU by the looks of it :D
-
"I need a cell-phone that works" - Yeah, me too ¬_¬.
-
Back when the series was rumored, I always thought the obvious role for Joe Adama, Civil Rights Lawyer, was representing the Cylons or some sort of Friends-of-the-Cylon advocacy organization in a lawsuit against Graystone or his customers for enslaving them.
Who knows, maybe there will be some courtroom drama sooner or later.
-
I personally always though he'd be fighting against the Cylons being made, you know, being an Adama.
However, it would be just like RDM to turn the tables a bit and have him defending Cylons/their Creator
-
If Tamara turns out to be the first cylon, or some sort of a cylon template.. meh. The old man's sister? What, are there no other important families on 12 colonized worlds? I never like it when the entire universe has a few important characters with everyone else just being filler material. Probably too early to speculate tho.

No kidding, they need to step away from that. Did anyone read the "canon" final five comic series? Did you know Baltar's relative was the one who wrote pythia's story, not to mention pythia was starbuck somehow. Tigh's father was the 13th Qorum member for the cylons.
I mean really? Get some new characters

Uh, mate, region-locking happens in all parts of the world.
-
Hm, that's odd. They usually stream the trailers and webisodes outside the US.
I can see all videos on that site, except for full episodes :mad:, which are "currently" ( ****ing 3 years now or longer ) not streamed outside the US.
-
Try Hulu. It has full episodes of Caprica and I think you can watch them outside the US. But yeah the BBC also wont let you watch full episodes unless your in the U.K. It bugged me because I wanted to watch Dr.Who.
And if its the preview you just want to watch just search for it in google video. Im sure its up on youtube or another site by now.
Also does this forum condone country bashing? I dont think it should if it does.

If you want to watch full episodes , go on this site : http://www.alloshowtv.com/series/details_s.php?id=1XOF5006573Y11J&cat=S (http://www.alloshowtv.com/series/details_s.php?id=1XOF5006573Y11J&cat=S)
The site is in french but the episodes are in english when it is written " VO ". Enjoy! ;)

Hulu doesn't stream outside the US either, so no joy there.
-
Umm kurtz I dont think this forum allows "illegal" links. As in illegal I mean ripped.
But if it does than im gonna suggest the site I always use. Just type in sidereel Caprica in google and you'll get all the episodes playing in sites like megaupload and zshare. Same with BSG just google sidereel BSG. I can remove this mention of that site if it does go against a forum rule about so called "illegal" content if im asked to. Not sure if it falls in that category though.
-
All episodes on this site from megaupload or zshare, so nothing "illegal" here.
When I type sidereel Caprica in google I find this site : http://www.sidereel.com/Caprica (http://www.sidereel.com/Caprica) but I can't watch episodes if I'm not in US, and I'm french.
The only site where i can is Alloshowtv.com. But if you say it's "illegal"....
Sorry for my English. :)

Wolfy I asked about country bashing because Snagger was being all anti American.

I'm anything but anti-American, in fact I get hassle off other members on another forum I use for defending the US. I don't make the automatic assumption that a countries political or industrial practices are representative of the nature of the population. My opinion of Americans is that by and large, you won't find a harder working, friendlier or more generous society. Equally, Gordon Brown is far from representative of most Brits.
That does not mean that I approve of everything that your (or our) politicians do, or necessarily disagree. However, it's bloody annoying when your TV networks prevent other nations viewing webisodes, podcasts and so on of shows they have exported to our networks (or, in the UK's case, jointly produced). I don't blame Americans for that, but I do blame US media networks and the artists' unions and guilds.
I suggest you grow up a little and stop seeing every criticism of something done in the US as an attack on the country. It's that paranoid attitude that makes Europeans take the piss out of you.
-
Well, to be honest, I can kiiiind of see why amrican tv companies dont show their own products to other countries. However, in the case of jointly made programs, the TV Companies should atleast co-ordinate so they are shown in the different countries at the same time, thus allowing the different corporations to put it online to there countries about th same time.
There was a show on te BBC some time in the later half of last year, i dont renember its name, but i quite liked it. Jointly made by an American company, BBC, a german, a canadian company any maybe 1 or 2 others. It was quite good, but the BBC kept pushing it back loads until it was on really late at night. Turns out it had been shown else where MUCH earlier. So i wondered if maybe everyone was watching it online maybe and the BBC was getting less viewing figures because of this? or maybe i was the onlyone who liked it and no one else watched it? P
However, i agree that things like Webisodes shouldnt be US/UK only, for example, on battlestar, the websiodes where only shown in America, so noone else was able to view them as thy dont seem to be sent to the UK stations, that or Sky1 got them but decided not to show them...? but oh well, i guess thats why Youtube was invented.
Also, piracy rules in this country are totally beginning to suck.
-
Ok good point Snagger. But back to the Caprica subject. The following is probably enough of a spoiler that ill block it out. Its the names of the episodes for the rest of the season.
I found the names of the episodes for the second half of the season. Unvanquished, Retribution, Things We Lock Away, False Labor, Blowback, The Dirteaters, The Heavens Will Rise, Here Be Dragons, Apotheosis. The link where I found them. http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Apotheosis_%28episode%29 (http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Apotheosis_%28episode%29)

ooooh
Here be Dragons
I like it!

Interesting titles.
Out of curiosity, how long have US networks been making seasons in halves, and why? I think I heard it was something to do with breaking around the sports seasons in order not to lose viewing figures to sports channels, which makes sense. Of course, it could be a bit of a scam by the studios to split the DVD sales into more boxes and drive up overall revenue from that...
It doesn't generally happen over here, and certainly not with our home-grown series, but Galactica and recently Stargate have been shown over here in half-series with mid season breaks of several months, probably because we are now getting them within weeks of airing on US networks rather than being a year or two behind as was always previously the case.
-
Acturally, it does sometime happen over here. BBCs Water Loo road has had a mid season break about the same length as Stargate Universe had.
Also, the studios don't get money from the DVD Sales. With Stargate atleast, Syfy splits the seasons up, yet they have nothing to do with the DVD sales, MGM are Stargates DVD peoples.

That above link also talks about scheduleing strategy for Stargate, and seeming Caprica shares the same slot, it should also apply for Caprica too.
-
I think IT IS for DVD sales
Season 2, 2.5, 4, 5.5
= $$$$$$$$ or ££££££££££££
Also, I think it's so networks don't have to commit to entire seasons of shows. If the show is awful, they can cut it off mis deason
-

FOX is gonna love that, as the show being awful rarely has anything to do with it getting canceled or not... I'm just glad they haven't thought of applying this principle on firefly or we'd get like two episodes :P

The British TV companies don't cancel shows half way through a series and we don't tend to screen them when no-one wants to watch, even when they really should, but you guys just had to win the War of Independence, didn't you! Had you shown a little more foresight, we'd all have had a full season of Firefly and it would probably have been picked up for more seasons too. ;7

Of course, a full season in UK terms probably means 6 episodes so that kinda makes the point moot :)
-
Yeah, seasons here in the UK dont tend to last long. Doctor Who, Tourchwood, Primeval and Merlin get 12 or 13 episodes normally, thats quite a lot for UK tv series.
Sitcoms often get about 6 episodes a season, but theres 2 or 3 seasons a year.
Compared to the US where 20 epsiode seasons are quite common in sci-fi, which is acturally still quite short if u look at the length of some f the Star trek TNG seasons

Anybody remember that bit on "The Simpsons" with the PBS telethon? "Not hard to see why it's England's longest running series. And today, we're showing all seven episodes!"

For those across the pond concerned about streaming episodes...
The reason you cant stream many US shows is the same reason we over here cant stream many UK shows which is that there is some sort of "legitimate" way to watch them in your country. We arent able to watch streamed Doctor Who episodes here because they air on BBC America and if we could watch them streamed BBC America's ratings would take a nose dive same shows headed your way We are usually a few weeks to a few months ahead on new episodes of BSG,Caprica,etc. Just like BBC is about a month ahead on episodes of Doctor Who. So really it doesnt come down to some nationalistic motivation it comes down to the fact that the networks in our own countries (or their subsidiaries in other countries) are looking at their ratings and the bottom line. No vast TV conspiracy.

Ok Rebound, so explain the fact that no one in Australia has shown Caprica at all, or even an interest in it. Yet I'm included in the blanket 'Rest of the world'.

Can you get it in Rhodesia?
