Caprica: End Of Line (s1e9)
Posted by Simon in Television on 28. Mar, 2010 | 2 Comments
Taking a page out of the Battlestar playbook, Caprica is executing its first season like BSG did its last — by splitting it into two halves. I found the final 0.5 season of BSG to be some of the most disappointing television I’ve ever seen, so one can only hope that Caprica will not befall [...]

Five episodes in, I can’t help but notice that every episode of Caprica starts with a recap of all the plot points that will be addressed in the upcoming hour.

As usual, spoilers [...]

The third episode of Caprica revealed even more of the twisted web it will weave. It does so efficiently, spreading bread crumbs and widening the scope of last weeks events. Lost amid the shuffle however is any sort of further character development or nuance, both key qualities that separate this show (and its predecessor) from [...]
