I was thinking. . . Could it be that the avatar for Adama's daughter somehow gets en-cyloned? Do you suppose that the personality differences between the two are the seeds of the differences between the skin jobs vis a vis what to do with the humans near the end of BSG? Oooo...I like that theory. Very plausible. Also - maybe the boy's avatar is still in there somewhere, too - and Zoe's friend. Maybe Zoelon/God convinces them all to be en-cyloned. Along with the teacher, who would add a totally different dimension. Very cool, Onj. The teacher really creeps me out.

But, I wub Polly Walker so I'm enjoying her character.

So, William Adama's father isn't a very nice guy. Driven by revenge it would seem. I knew Tara wasn't gone, though. It stood to reason she was still in there. Interesting that Zoelon doesn't know Tara is a real person, or doesn't suspect, anyway. And, they never got around to asking Tara any questions about herself.
So, is Clarice bad/good/misguided? Is Zoelon going to be the physical embodiment of the Cylon god? So many cool possibilities.

I had a hard time staying fixed on this last episode. Parts of it seemed to drag a bit, so my mind wandered. What I got from it is that Clarice somehow convinced Ben Stark to blow up the train. And Ben never let on to his girlfriend Zoe about his plans, it seems. And Zoe wanted to go to Gemenon because...why? Was that explained? I know it came out that she was going to be with a family, one better than her biological family. So, can we assume it's a sort of cult or commune type situation? And Lacy changed her mind about going, so I guess she's not a true believer. I guess I feel like there are too many questions at this point and very little answers.

Well, we have only seen a few episodes..... I get what you're saying, though. But me, I'm LOVING this show, so far. And I love that we're not getting a lot of answers at first. I like a slow burn, especially with a show as good as this one.

The cops on Caprica are downright creepy. They KNOW the Stark kid did it but are hellbent on framing Zoe. Grrr!

Interesting images of the media in this ‘verse – the TV personaities, the reporters, PR agents. And, of course, nice commentary on our world too, eh? “It’s Adama now.” All the shunning, all the anger, all the violence. And, of course, Zoe wasn’t a “terrorist”, but a victim of her not-too-stable boyfriend, like everyone else on the train. Ah, elder!Adama. Not so pure and anti-tech, are you, now that you want to see your daughter again. [Man, I love these credits.] Little!Adama, little tough guy. Doc Frasier!! [/SG1 flashback] “We’re not guilty.” You aren’t. I’m not so sure about teacher, though. (Making her keep fetching you stuff? Awesomely funny!) You guys don’t know what happened on that train. You really really don’t, either of you. Destroying evidence now, eh? And, of course, piling even more onto Zoe’s family to cover their own asses. Oy. And not bribing the judge sufficiently well. Oy oy! That is very BSG-sounding music there for a moment . . . Like a regular theme from the show. “Back in my own virtual skin” and “the things I have to see in that robot body”. Ha! Yeah, I’m pretty sure the real Zoe didn’t totally trust the teacher woman either. Hey! There’s Tamara! “If this is a dream, I think it’s too long.” “Can you be free if you’re not real?” Man! I love the thinky stuff in this show! “You don’t want a logical appeal, it has to be emotional.” So true. And so horrible, of course, in many ways, that logic is so easily overthrown in almost everyone by emotion, whether true emotion or manipulated. Not that emotion is bad, of course, but it’s not always good either. And it can be a factor in making very very bad decisions sometimes. I very much admire his continued refusal to use the media machine to spin the story better for himself by tearing down his daughter. I wonder how long he’ll stay strong, of course, but I admire it for now at least. And really, why should he have to do any of that? The Zoe avatar has a “purpose”. And what if the purpose is bad? Can’t chicken out again. Well, that was a nasty comment. Hmmm. Zoe's gift will “save everyone”? “My knees are pointy and fast and hard.” Ha! Also? I knew something was up with him. Hmmm. He doesn’t know about Sister Clarice, or so he says. So, was he out of the loop? Or lying? Or were they in different branches? Or . . . ? A ghost image. Ghost in the machine. If only, if only, if only . . . If only she wasn’t dead. If only you hadn’t seen her again after she was dead. If only. “Now that? Is good police work.” Oy. Oy!! [I’m loving the little details here. Like the program that’s named “Cubits and pieces”. Ha!] And he breaks – he’ll go on a show. “Lucky me, I married a tough guy.” Ah, I’m loving the depiction of all different varieties of couples (and moresomes) on this show. Love them!!! **huggles the show**

Thank you for the link, Monnie! This is an excellent interview - fascinating info and very relevant to my interests. Those being cool tats and hot men playing gay characters. I'm shallow, but happy.
