Caprica: False Labor

Ironic that an actual child was born in an episode entitled “False Labor”. Of course the falsity referred to in the title was Daniel’s stalled progress on Zoe’s resurrection program. That said, in order to have a false labor a women must actually be pregnant. Therefore it is only a matter of time before Daniel figures this program out and actually resurrects the resurrection machine.

Amanda Greystone is actually enjoying her time in the group household, I don’t care what she told the police officer with a grudge. Also, I completely believe that she had postpartum depression after giving birth, let’s remember that she has had significant mental issues in her past. While it was nice that Clarice was not prominently featured in this episode, a double dose of Amanda was almost a little too much to bear.

I love that Zoe is taunting her father from beyond the grave. That said, she did have angelic help with the coding if we are to believe she has her very own head-character. Which kind of bums me out a little. The Cylons are supposed to be the children of humanity, not the children of God by way of humanity. Yet, Zoe designed the Cylon body with prophetic support and her father stole it. She then coded the resurrection program with heavenly help and her father is about to steal that as well.

While Zoe was responsible for the first Cylon taste of human blood, Samuel really just let the flood gates open. He killed a dozen people. While the Cylon stated, “By your command”, I added in my head, “But not for much longer”. Sam sees himself as a freedom fighter, but he is living on a world where he is the only one who cares. I wonder when he’ll hop a shuttle for Turon, Cylon in the cargo hold, and start settling things the way he knows how. Shouldn’t someone from Greystone Industries notice that the Cylon got shot up?

Joseph made a human connection again. I wonder how long before she reveals her virtual persona to him. Also, if she continues going into New Cap City shouldn’t she have news to share with him regarding his daughter? Joseph’s conversation with Daniel in the smoking section outside of the building was fantastic, I wish they would give those two screen time together.
