I've only seen up to 13 when Sy-fy cancelled it. Why of why did ratings suck so bad for it is beyond me.

Blood and Chrome is set quiet a few years after this isn't it? so I doubt there's any way for them to continue this story into that.Last edited by Ian-S; 02 December 2010, 05:22 AM.

I don't think the...
Spoiler:Resurrection thing was a cop-out at all. All it shows is that the original creator of the (Caprican) Cylons also created a prototype form of the technology. It doesn't mean the Cylons had it themselves, and if anything, given the way events played out with Zoe at the end, it gives them a reason to want it in the first place. They were already working on the technology when the final 5 showed up, now we know where they originally got the idea from.
And I've only just now gotten the Daniel/#7 connection. Makes a lot of sense, thanks for that flobo!

Spoiler:I didn't even think about that, you must be right, she must be the angel Zoe, it makes much more sense now.
Thinking about the whole God's plan thing, i think God pushed each new version of humankind to create Cylons (like Angel Zoe did in Caprica).
It's the "test" of the human race. If they fail, the angels help save a few to start anew on a new world. (Angel Six saving the final 5/ All the angels in BSG)
Also, in the end, since it's been revealed that God's angel are the Lord of Kobols, it makes the whole monotheist/polytheist conflict completely pointless, with both sides being right and wrong at the same time. God doesnt seem to care about that, since he doesn't even care for the name God
Back to caprica, what about Cyrus ?
He said "I saw how it ended". Another divine intervention ?
I have to admit, Caprica rehabilited BSG's ending for me. I hated the whole "God's Plan" part, but now, in the bigger picture, it fits quite well.
Of course, i still find the cultural suicide of the colonials to be stupid, so i'll just pretend they realized it wouldnt work, got back together, became atlantis and got destroyed centuries later^^Last edited by flobo; 02 December 2010, 01:28 PM.

I'd love to see some tidbits of Caprica in Blood And Chrome, (as in how we got from point A to point B to point C)
Don't throw Caprica out just because it was unpopular in the ratings.I'm proud to be an American.

That's not really a big deal anymore if it's already happened, is it?

Vincent: Hate what?
Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullsh*t in order to be comfortable?
Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.
Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody really special: you can just shut the f*** up for a minute and comfortably share silence.

Spoiler:There was an interview a while ago, in which i think they said they had an explanation for the angels, but didn't use it in the show since they felt it was better to leave it a mystery, but would be used in the "final five" comic.
That's where it comes from.
There are other interesting things, like starbuck is a "reincarnation" of Pythia and both were vessels for Lord of Kobol Aurora, who "took them over" after their death/resurection in order to guide the fleet to the new home (earth 1 for Aurora in Pythia, new Earth for Aurora in Kara).

It's been a while since I've read it to be honest, but I do remember it had some glaring continuity error with something in the back half of season 4. Which would suggest non-canon. But like I said, it's been ages and I can't remember so I could be wrong."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.
