Caprica – “Gravedancing”
The federal agents et permission to search the Athena Academy. We also get a glimpse into Sr. Clarice’s cozy group marriage bed. She is warned by someone about the search and sends out an e-paper message to warn Keone and other students she is allying with (though we don’t see any, presumably there [...]
Caprica – “Reins of a Waterfall”
When we rejoin the dynamic, soap opera-esque world of Caprica after Amanda has revealed that Zoe may have been involved in the bombing, we see the repercussions. Amanda may be fired and Graystone is being boycotted. Amanda is being interviewed after the surprising reveal and has a bottle thrown at [...]
Caprica – Rebirth
Last week’s Caprica left us wondering about the future of the centurions because Zoe’s identity appeared to be wiped from the robot. However, in a befuddling turn of events, at least to Daniel Graystone, the MCP only works in one robot. He refuses to admit the connection has to do with his daughter’s [...]
Before I begin discussing the show in depth, I’d like to point out a little about the ads for the show. The ads depict Zoe biting into an apple. As we all know, the Cylons are devout monotheists. And in the Christian tradition, the apple represents sin and Eve bites into the apple, bringing sin [...]

Battlestar Galactica’s series finale, “Daybreak,” is not an easy beast to describe. From the quiet build of the first hour, to the beautiful character moments, the intense action of hour two, and the weird existential conclusion of hour three, “Daybreak” is all over the map. All will be revealed? Well, no — that was a [...]
There’s three characters dying this week on Galactica — the titular ship, Sam Anders and Laura Roslin. The central theme of this penultimate story is that none of them are coming back from their fates. Galactica is literally falling apart, Anders is gone as a sentient being, reborn as the Galactica’s hybrid, and [...]
Battlestar Galactica is dying — both literally, referring to impending series finale, and figuratively, referring to the titular ship. And ever since the Gaeta/Zarek mutiny, that theme has pervaded the show — the gradual acceptance on behalf of what’s left of our cast that the ship, Laura Roslin and perhaps both the Cylon and human [...]
It is now my solemn belief that Saul Tigh is the secret tragic hero of Battlestar Galactica. He was a damned interesting character before he was revealed as a Cylon, and now that he’s one of the Final Five, I daresay he might be the most human, flawed and ultimately redeemable character on Galactica.
