No, not necessarily. Ron Moore was only the show-runner for Caprica for the first few episodes, and handed over day-to-day control to Jane Espenson (who herself dropped out of the position in order to write more, so they brought in another guy whose name escapes me). I think when Caprica was in development, RDM was still hoping to get Virtuality off the ground, so he never intended to be in charge in a really hands-on fashion.]]> Thursday, September 2, 2010 11:53 AM Thursday, September 2, 2010 11:55 AM Thursday, September 2, 2010 11:56 AM Thursday, September 2, 2010 11:56 AM
Now, I'm not super-optimistic about a second season (and to be honest, I felt like the show fell off after episode five or so), but certainly SyFy clearly _wants_ to pick up the series but hasn't decided whether or not it's a good idea.]]> Thursday, September 2, 2010 12:06 PM Thursday, September 2, 2010 12:17 PM Thursday, April 1, 2010 08:03 AM

But I like the Ellyn-Sol thing; I think it was the separation that originally put all the strain on their relationship. As you said, putting them together only means they claw at each other - and not just in a sexual way - but that's the way they are.

Ok, remember, though... Sharon Valerii mentioned "growing up back home" more than once before she realized she was a toaster. I believe I remember her even saying something about how she couldn't be a Cylon because she remembered her parents.

If they're going to have sleeper agents, they're almost CERTAINLY going to have to have implanted memories. Otherwise, it'd be pretty much a dead give-away.

There's also a third, related explanation -- what if most people and Cylons don't realize it, but Hera was not the first of "her kind?" Maybe there's another who could be the "shape of things to come." Note, we never see you-know-who's father in this episode. And the mother tells you know who that he/she is "special" more than once. And a certain Cylon character is also very nearly nurturing to you-know-who.

Either of these theories would explain a lot that I can't possibly go into without actual spoilers. But it all makes sense.]]> Thursday, March 8, 2007 05:38 PM Thursday, March 8, 2007 09:28 PM

Obviously Zarek and his boy would just deny deny deny, and probably Sharon would be killed for suggesting such a thing. Only by acting, thereby tricking what'shisname into acting, and then saving their keesters, could she possibly convince them of anything. The act of saving their lives from treachery is a very good move politically, and maybe it doesn't lend absolute creedence to all of her claims, but it definitely gives her more credibility.

kheara: I wasn't blaming them on you, specifically. But I've already seen the kitten wars link three or four times in the recent past...]]> Monday, August 29, 2005 05:09 PM
The bottom line is, had a Cylon grabbed for a gun near Adama, I would have shot to kill without a second thought, and Sharon has to take that into account. And for her, since she will give all her memories to a possibly less friendly model upon death, risking her life means exposing the resistance cel on Caprica to danger as well. Whatever piece of credibility she got pales in comparison with the harm that could have been caused.]]> Monday, August 29, 2005 05:26 PM Monday, August 29, 2005 05:30 PM Monday, August 29, 2005 09:04 PM

Consider this: The Galactica was separated from the fleet for a while because of Gaeda's error in calculating the emergency jump, and this separation came not long after Colonial One was assaulted. What can Tom Zarek do with that coincidence?]]> Monday, July 25, 2005 11:55 AM
If he were to have some sort of distant complex plot to kill somebody, he'd do better to have the president killed by somebody on the Galactica crew. That would fuck things up a lot more.]]> Sunday, July 24, 2005 04:25 PM just a secondary assassin of Adama.

Taking out both the political and the military leaders of the human race would be a great double blow. To make it a hatrick, they could kill off the religious leader, too (I forget her name--the woman who does the prayers and talked to the president about the prophecies and stuff).]]> Sunday, July 24, 2005 05:05 PM
Partially I think this because of what I've saying to Neil since the season closer for last year: Adama seriously misread the politics of the situation, the President outplayed him, and eventually civilian control is going to have to reassert itself if the entire fleet isn't going to split apart. This is esp. true now that Tigh is in charge instead of Adama. If the Cylons are at all clever and patient, they can keep Baltar in their back pocket until he becomes useful. If the President dies (she does have cancer, right?), he may well become REALLY useful.

Besides, I feel like acts of terror need a certain novelty: one assassination attempt is shocking, two and it becomes part of accepted Cylon strategy. You have to keep the humans on their toes by attacking in a variety of different ways.

Also, I think it would be lame.]]> Sunday, July 24, 2005 07:37 AM Sunday, July 24, 2005 12:48 PM

Every government, even those democratically selected, has a line of succession, and the current prez came into office through that process. That's perfectly legitimate, if unorthodox, just as Ford's rise to power as a non-elected president was legitimate.]]> Tuesday, January 25, 2005 08:37 AM is completely unrealistic to expect that twelve planets can be governed by direct democracy, so they're not. To my mind that is what the real issue was to the terrorist guy, that the system is inherently unfair because not everything is decided by the people, including the ruler. The law of succession is fine, but the education lady was not elected to her position, rather she was appointed and approved, which is wholly different. The point is more than semantic; it really demonstrates the problems inherent in any self-governing nation that attempts to balance the will (the right) of the people and the practicality of ensuring that everyone has water. Few people care about their municipal government or who runs it, but will scream bloody murder if their trash is not picked up on time. I can't think of a place, right down to a rotary club, where direct democracy is feasible, but there has to be a distinction between republicanism and democracy for the actions and machinations of a government (and the rule of succession) to make sense.]]> Tuesday, January 25, 2005 11:56 AM Wednesday, January 26, 2005 02:18 PM Monday, January 17, 2005 02:51 PM
