So she's not dead? Also I'm still a bit annoyed by them making the "nefarious" monotheistic religion more like Christianity, specifically my denomination of Catholic, than anything else. ("Conclave", their "Mother" is clearly in a nun's habit, the design of their temple is Christian/Catholic more than anything, etc)
That might sound spoilerish but I didn't say what "she" I meant and I don't think the Christian/Catholic issue gives away any plot points.

No but I like how they used the term "boxed"
I think the religion idea is interesting, I am christian and catholic.
Not sure if I see it directed towards one more than the other. I do like how Greystone has gone down the slippery slope, and how pappa Adama is showing us the old man grit.
I liked that too. It's kind of the origin story of it and makes sense.

Possibly I was oversensitive. The "Mother" was interesting in that she acted fairly gentle, and was horrified actually seeing the killing, but apparently approves whatever violence happens. I'm not sure if she sees it as a "necessary evil", they were apparently persecuted at first, or if her gentle qualities are just a sign of weakness rather than any kind of principle.
Oh I like how the evil of humanity often hides behind the cover of religion.
How would you compare the Solders of the One to other groups who do the dirty work?
I thought I saw a few "Godfather" scenes in this also. Has Ms. Doc Greystone taken up with sister to find out more about Zoe?
Here is hoping that a BSG Cylon (skin job) shows up as the original
I'm loosing interest in this. None of the characters have any value or are remotely interesting. And Caprica must be controlled by cigarette companies.

This is a difficulty I had with BSG, I didn't really like any of them, but I might agree it's a bit worse here. I feel like BSG had more energy, the characters and situation, whereas this at times feels a bit languid to me. Although I think both suffer a bit from having most of the characters be depressed or unpleasant pretty much most of the time. Although that might make less sense in this series as the characters are not living as refugees from a genocide. At least some living in Caprica could plausibly be happy. (Although I think as BSG went on it did become clear to me the characters were unhappy before the catastrophe and would have been unhappy/dysfunctional regardless. The BSG/Caprica Universe seems largely based in "Life is suffering" or something)
I'm still probably going to watch though, even if it irritates me, as there's so little real science fiction on TV. Or on Syfy for that matter. Also the "world-building" is at times clever or eye-catching.
I thought BSG was a very good drama, great plot twists and I was really interested in what would happen to the characters, and how it would all end. Caprica however, just isn't doing it. I do agree on the life is suffering analysis. How ironic if we found alien life and they were worse off than we are.

I agree with the lack of anything else on
I do enjoy the idea of a society that is just so self absorbed that they have no idea what is around the corner. (sound familiar?) The issue of the teenager anger is a difficult hurdle for me to be the basis of the end of the colonies but now that it is more focused on Greystone I can see grief driving you to be come a Dr. Frankenstein.
I like the Adama family scenes, shows where the old man got his moxie.
