    Wow!! What a way to leave us hanging. This was good on so many levels, and everything leading up to the ending was simply amazing. This wait is going to be torture.

    That was certainly an intense trip of an episode. I can't believe Zoe killed Mr. Nice Engineer.
    I will feel really bad for Daniel if he loses his wife on top of his daughter. I thought Zoe's perspective was really effectively shown, how her world had imploded on her with everyone's perceived betrayal.

    I'm frustrated that the shipping plan fell apart when it didn't have to. If Zoe and Lacie had more time to talk, surely they would have come to conclusion that Lacie could have broken Zoe out that night and then hidden her somewhere until the crate could be shipped?

    Also, I was confused about Daniel's decision to radiate the chip, destroying Zoe, and then mass-produce it. I thought the only reason why the chip and robot combination worked in the first place was because of Zoe. Or does Daniel not realize that even though he couldn't get the chip to work with any of the other robot bodies?

    Woohoo, what ride! And what a mid-season finale. I'll be on tenterhooks until the show resumes.

    Glad to see Teryl Rothery is taking on a bigger part, and that the Zoe avatar is capable of some emotion besides anger. Don't know what she tried to accomplish with the crash, though, I think it was made pretty clear that those cylons are pretty much indestructible.

    Or maybe it was his final ploy to get Zoe to reveal herself. Well, Daniel certainly got more than he bargained for. I don't think Zoe meant to kill the kid, she was just lashing out and forgot her own strength for a moment.

    Just spectacular! Words cannot express how awesome this was. Can't wait for the show to return!

    Wow... That was hands down, THE best episode of the season. So emotional. One massive development after another.

    Somehow I never considered that anything bad would happen to the young scientist Philomon. But considering what show this is, I should have known better. They had a genuine connection, which was sweet. Sad to see him go, but it was done in such an epic way.

    Likewise, I just assumed that, when Amanda walked out of the house, she would walk right into the arms of Vergis (since that's what happened in the original pilot, which they then cut out). The thought that she would kill herself at the exact same time that Barnabus/Keon/Lacey tried to kill Clarice, thereby accidentally killing Nestor instead, was just... There are no words.

    Fantastic mid-season finale. I realize every episode isn't going to be like this, but if this is the "new direction" the producers mentioned the show might be taking when it returns for season 1.5, then I will be a very happy viewer.

    Well, she is a cylon... I doubt the car crash did much of anything.

    Things actually happening as opposed to being set up for later episodes? In Caprica? I must be dreaming! Why couldn't all the episodes have been like this! I'm glad I kept with it, hopefully it will continue this pace after the break, though I'm not looking forward to the wait.

    That was the most awesome James Masters has been in quite some time.

    I was expecting him to be around a lot longer and become more important. Instead he gets the dubious honour of being the first colonial to die at the hands of a cylon. I wonder if history remembers him for that? I'm assuming this isn't the start of the war because there's only one cylon, but they'd be pretty stupid to continue making them after this.

    Ah, thought I'd missed an episode for a bit, knowing how little plot some of the other ones had, it could easily have happened and I wouldn't have noticed.

    But Philomon died to further the plot as opposed to clearing up romantic loose ends for Dee/Lee

    We're still in the first season, I can't see them dropping a story line introduced in the pilot so soon.

    That's what I thought too.

    Great episode, probably one of the best so far. Some of the Terminator-esque scenes had some lousy CGI, and I'm beyond appalled that RDA/Eick used the "x hours earlier" schtick again, but generally a very good episode.

    I'll be back when I'm more coherent.

    "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

    I'm thinking July? Sci Fi usually does things in 3 month blocks, and we know it's coming back in "summer". Jan-Mar is winter, Apr-Jun is spring, Jul-Sept is summer. At least, as Sci Fi sees it.

    Awesome ep. I'm quite sad. I don't think Amanda died, though.

    The meeting was not in previous episodes.

    We used to get this a lot on Galactica. Scenes that had been cut out were included in the recap as though we had seen them before, even though we hadn't. I'm not sure if they're unaware of this, or if they do it intentionally just for the sake of clarity, but it happens.

    It's still canon, even though it's not in the proper episodes. lol

    Holy frakking... That was probably some of the finest television I've watched in what feels like quite a while. This show is really stepping up to me, and I can't believe how many doubts I had about hearing the show's description have melted away into full blown love come this episode. So many twists and turns and plot threads tying up nicely - some major arcs ending, some probably just beginning... Wow.

    First off, James Marsters love. Referring to Clarice as "Willow" was cool enough (And probably a deliberate shoutout), but his deadpan line about Clarice becoming thin jelly by the time the bomb goes off was classic. The final standoff with him, Lacy and Keon was fantastic. For a show with no space battles, Caprica pulls off tension just as well as BSG - probably the music! Expanded my major crush on Magda Apanawhatever (Lacy Rand) too, and the character's going interesting places, here's hoping. Points also to Clarice herself, actually showing some brass stones and jamming the pistol in Barney's face was priceless.

    Amanda... Ugh, the poor gal. I think she'll live to angst another day. I'm thinking it will involve recovering from her jumping attempt, and Tomas Vergis being involved. Daniel, meanwhile, was pretty boss with his yelling ranting stuff to the dearly departed Philomon - the action he took in this episode was awesome. As was Zoe-A's own little rant to Lacy in the V-World, followed by the robot's perspective montage at the episode's end. And, dear god, poor Philo... I totally liked that guy, and now he's a corpse. Yay for depressive but compelling storytelling.

    Onto J. Adama: The poor guy got pushed to the brink, and I think his recovery will be long-ish. That Evelyn was helping him out wasn't a totally huge twist, especially given some of her comments in this episode especially. And Tamara shooting him (And thus, ridding him from New Cap City, the one place she can stay and not be found by him) was heartbreaking. Poor Adamas - and I do see where William Adama got his manly fits of sadness that appeared quite a bit in BSG (I wonder if Esai Morales - hehe, easy morales - watched Eddy James Olmos in preparation...).

    All in all, I'm upset to Caprica go for such a while. Yes, I'll have SGU, and seeing the little SGU stuff in the bottom right hand corner was nice, but the show's getting damn good here. Damn good, I say.

    EDIT: Found this over of SyFy forums. An interesting thing to note about our two tormented fathers of the show:

    So Daniel decides to terminate his daughter because she refuses to admit she exists, and Tamara terminates her father so he'll stop saying she exists. Interesting parallel.

    Clarice's last name is Willow so I don't think it was a Buffy reference

    I for one am glad I have SGU to watch while I wait for more Caprica. What an ender that was! Can't wait for more.

    Im not sure where Caprica is heading, the problem with prequels(yes this is a star wars example, sue me ) is that they can either help your original story, or completely and utterly destroy it into a million pieces of vicious crap. Sorry the bad blood runs deep. So far the story is pretty good on Caprica, but Im worried about whats going to happen next.

    Just how indestructible is the Cylon? Centurions in Galactica went down pretty easily and they were basically upgraded versions of the original.

    Amanda's probably not dead. I mean she's in the opening montage so offing her would be pretty serious. Plus it'd leave questions pertaining to the the nature of her visions and her future relationship with Clarice (Let's not forget:"Should I be jealous?" "I don't know.") unanswered.

    Philomon totally dropped the ball there. Even if he didn't want to help the Zoebot, he really shouldn't have pulled that ****.

    The identity of Joseph's guide was pretty obvious.
