Caprica: Reins of a Waterfall

Well I said making an enemy of an Adama was a bad idea, I guess I was right.  Here's hoping Sam can talk Joe out of having Amanda Graystone killed.  I would not really mourn the loss of Mrs. Graystone but I think it would be hard to root for Joe Adama if he had her executed in cold blood.

Uncle Sam is rapidly turning into one of my favorite characters on this show.  He's a terrible role model for William on one hand (giving him a beer, teaching him how to cut school better) yet the most stable thing in his life on the other.  I find it odd that "The Old Man" never told stories about Uncle Sam while passing time on the Battlestar so I'm guessing he's got an expiration date of a year or two at most.

Sister Clarice knows more than she lets on yet seems to be doing a poor job of getting Lacy to trust her.  Lacy in turn seems to be doing a poor job of being the one that lived.  She's overwhelmed, doesn't know who to trust and her only friend happens to be a computer program or a god of creation (jury's still out on that one).

I do find it sad Zoe has yet to reach out to either of her parents.  Though the dog did seem to notice her right away!  I wonder when she's going to make contact with someone other than Lacy.  While we are on the subject of making contact, I was glad to see Zoe meet Tamara.  She appeared to make an instant connection to her but I wonder if she realized that she actually created the Tamara avatar.

Neither Zoe or Lacy seemed too shocked that Daniel was keeping a teenage female avatar locked in his personal firewall.  That really says something about their opinion of him.  I'm guessing Zoe is not going to out herself to her father anytime soon.

I do find it odd that Zoe can break the bed in her room and roam all around her house without anyone noticing.  You would think Surge (whose name I love) might mention to his owners that the other robot is making lots of noises while no one else is around.

Does anyone else have a hard time with the "Soldiers of the One" acronym?  Why would they put the "the" into the acronym and not the "of"?  Just because they are a monotheistic terrorist organization doesn't mean they get to completely flout good acronym practices.  

With all this talk of God and gods I'm beginning to wonder when we will get the appearance of the angels/messengers that were so prominently featured in BSG.  Based off previous experience in this universe, someone has to be getting orders from a higher power.  

The person Clarice was talking to in the confessional sounded more than a little robotic, but I'm guessing that was a red herring.  We're meant to think that she is taking council from a robot.  Narratively, it is more likely that the higher ups in the STO simply do not want her to know who they are in the real world.
