Caprica, The Rebirth of Awesomeness

[jashyr]

Oh Caprica, how I love thee. I picked up the DVD of the pilot back when it was released and loved it (especially the music which I also picked up at the time - LaLaLand is a wonderful music resource) and I'm so glad it got a series. I think episode two may have surpassed the pilot in my love of this series

Oh, you liked it? So many people don't. I've watched both episodes because friends have wanted to watch it and I was being social. What do you like about it? I'm undecided whether to continue.

Now I've got to properly quantify why I like it! If think the major thing I like about it is that the disaster has affected people in different ways AND the characters acknowledge that fact. For the most part we're free of charactitures and no one has been set up as an immediate hate figure. Even sister Clarise is interesting and with the heavy handed rounding up of Monotheist suspects, understandably secretive. Random quiet things point to it being a civilization tipping on the edge of either revolution or a descent into barbarism without it being force fed to the audience.

It's the quiet stuff, the ambiance, the gathering storm on the horizon just glimpsed in rear-view mirrors.
