they should have left Zoe alive, showed more Greystone and Adama interaction and fully developed the creation of the Cylons. For the life of me I don't understand why they didn't make that the main plot line

I enjoyed the Caprica episodes quite a lot. As a "prequel" to Battle Star Galactica, it served to illustrate the origins of the Cylon race and how the Cylons came to their own religion.

I think this short lived series did establish that some Cylons were in fact alive. A new life form.

The virtual world scenes made excellent 'cyber-punk' drama. A new kind of intelligent life can be sustained and develop within the silicon chips of Caprican technology. Death in the corporal world does not necessarily mean the end of human existence....provided one can find entrance to the Caprican virtual world. We saw that Zoe Greystone did.

This is something that has been explored in other 'cyber punk' novels. There were some Gibson ideas within this series.

Fwiw, that made for TV movie; Blood and Chrome, was a good precursor to the Battle Star series. It documents the beginnings of Adama's military career. Good action movie there. Worth seeing if you haven't.

  Blood and Chrome movie as long as New Cap City isn't in it or Clarice Willow (altho she and her twins were pretty easy on the eyes).
