    At the same time, going from the creation of the first Cylon to outright war with the Cylons within just a few years feels a bit speedy. What do you think?

    I don't think this show will be on for very long...

    If its anything like BSG we can be sure it will end poorly.

    Though we will get a peek of Ronald Moore's luscious locks.

    @AOClaus:I came away enjoying it, but the more I thought about it the more I couldn't stand it.

    I suppose its not really the ending. When they picked the final 5 and killed Starbuck only to bring her back there really wasn't much more it could do. I suppose they did all that they could in the last episode, but they shouldn't have painted themselves into a corner.

    @OW-Holmes:Bringer of Fear: I feel like when I didn't think about it, that ending was okay enough, but the more I thought about it and examined it the more it just fell apart.

    This would be fine if it weren't for the fact that this is a show that tackled issues and challenged the audience to think so it's not so easy to just turn that off grab the popcorn and enjoy the ride without examining it closely.

    @AOClaus: RDM's cameo was fine with me. It appeared in the coda of the finale, anyway; it's not like he jammed himself in the main story. The fraking dancing robot montage was what irritated me... felt like an Acme hammer over the head.

    I also was not happy with the ending, but I've also made my peace with it. I don't think any piece of art fully succeeds or fails; just cause the ending sucked doesn't mean the rest did. BSG was much better than it was worse.

    Caprica will end with SyFy announcing a new show - Galactica: The War Years. The BSG cow will be milked for all it is worth.

    In reply to Do We Know How Caprica Ends?
    I think the assumption from Den of Geek is correct. If Adama joins the service at 18, he would be just in time to fight through the last 3 years of the war. Nico Cortez, the actor who played young Adama in those Razor flashbacks certainly looks like a weathered, battle hardened 21. Since Caprica is set before the Colonies were unified, it is not unreasonable that the Cylon War began shortly after their construction, perhaps as a mutiny during inter-colonial warfare.

    In reply to Do We Know How Caprica Ends?
    "So I guess it's barely possible that if the series ends with Willie Adama as a tween or teen, you could see the start of the First Cylon War, if Adama joined the service as a 18-year-old."

    Not to go all Star Wars on you, but I always thought Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru looked extremely haggard and weathered for 40 year old tatooine farmers in their 1977 incarnations.

    @aubreyf: Not to mention that if there's a bright spot to galaxy, being on tatooine is the furthest away you can get from it.

    Silly but fun.

    I'm especially glad there wasn't any speaking. The easiest way to ruin a video like this is by having the "actors" try and talk like the characters. It never sounds right and always comes across as embarrassing.

    Feh. That could have been anyone. Displayed none of their personality traits whatsoever. Just two clowns in average cosplay costumes doing generic falling in love schtick.

    @Plague: maybe try constructive criticism instead of, y'know, calling people clowns?

    I thought it was sweet, but I'd watch pretty much anything in slow-motion with twinkly music.
