Caprica: Dirteaters

This was a fantastic show, but I can almost understand why Syfy cancelled it. The flashbacks to Turon started out slow but grew into some of the most dramatic and fraked up television I have seen in a long time. Joseph Adama shot three enemies and then ended the violence by killing his own father. Turon is a complicated place perhaps too complicated for a network that features Ghosthunters International, Warehouse 13, and professional wrestling.

I would have never pegged Samuel as the naive and mostly innocent younger brother but it does makes sense. Samuel failed his father by freezing at a moment where he needed to push forward and has since chosen the path of violence time and time again as a means to make up for his past inaction. Joseph on the other hand did what “needed to be done” and was sickened by it. Therefore he chose the path of law and attempted to leave violence in his past. However, Sam’s latest choices have led to a betrayal of the Guatra and now Joseph must follow him into hell once more.

Avenging Angel’s seems too cute for what Tamara and Zoe are capable of and thankfully this was a realization they were able to come to on their own. There complete destruction/reformation of New Cap City was impressive, though I would have been more impressed if I did not see Inception this summer.

Jordan apparently did not cover all his bases. Two points for his turncoat GDD boss. Amanda is now spying on Clarice in return for what exactly? Perhaps Jordan is truly done, but his actions put Amanda on a collision course with the resurrection program which in turn puts it in the path of Daniel as well. Perhaps this is how we get to apotheosis.

Speaking of apotheosis, it would seem that the only person Clarice is interested in elevating is herself. She fights for the One God and kills in his name but her end game is apotheosis for herself and everyone else can occupy space in her heaven.

Did anyone else forget that Bill Adama was ever featured in this series?
