Caprica Sucks
Why is this show so criminally bad? Why does it suck so bad? Why did a show with so much potential go wrong so fast? I couldn’t make it past episode four. With Battlestar Galactica at least I made it to the third year. It started off very very good and went downhill. I suspect Caprica is horrid on purpose. I am nauseated by it. I find it hard to even write about it, it’s so awful. Everything takes place at least 58 years before the Cylons come back and destroy everything. Caprica shows where the fissure begins and is based on how the monotheists are much more distructive and judgmental as compared to the polytheists.
The polytheists are people whose religion follows our horoscope charts. Hence the names of the 12 planets being Caprica, Tauron, etc. In this world, the monotheists are oppressed and strike back by becoming terrorists. I’ll let you figure out the modern day parallels.
Frankly, both groups suck. It’s hard to even see where one group is good and the other is bad. I’d give a slight edge of the grossness to the monotheists since they practice polyamorous marriages. The polytheists are amoral, serially monogamous, along with being corrupt to the core thrown in.
Caprica is about two families: the Adamas and the Graystones. It has Eric Stolz playing Daniel Graystone of Caprica, the inventor of the Cylon. It has the handsome Esai Morales playing Joseph Adama, born of Tauron with a Caprican soul.
David Eick and Ronald D. Moore made this dreck along with the “re-imagining” of Battlestar Galactica, so I was not surprised to see the same crappy retread of ethnic stereotypes. The Taurons are mobsters / gangsters who look Latino / Italian. The Graystones are your typical rich, ultra-pale, narcissistic, and “brilliant” yuppies. The blacks are in the background as low level servants.
The writers can only mine the depths of what they know: absolutely nothing.
There’s no creativity or originality in this show. Aside from the casual sex themes: homosexual marriages, polygamous marriages, poly-amorous marriages, and virtual-reality-anything-goes-worlds, which I suspect is more a reflection of modern-day Hollywood than of normal people in the rest of the world. I’m surprised they haven’t shown pedophiles in a positive light yet, I’m sure pederasts will get a high five eventually.
Caprica may seem to focus on religion, but it comes across as though it’s written and produced by atheists, anti-humanists, or people whose value systems come from Hollywood, the bottom feeding cesspool capital of the world. Atheists believe in no religion, and the show indicates that religion makes things worse. It even implies that religion doesn’t make a difference in human behavior.
If that’s the case, what’s the point of the show? Everyone is better off dead?
Last note: the technology used in Caprica is not new, interesting or forward looking.
Does this indicate that science fiction writing (from Hollywood) is reaching a creative dead end? I can only think so with even the current President intent on killing NASA off. Sad. Really sad. We’ve lost our collective imagination and based on the content of Caprica, our collective minds.

I even watched the pilot again which was actually really quite good. The series is terrible. Vancouver to obvious.
Oh well. Sci-fi is dead completely and doesn’t look to bright for the future either.
Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate the feedback.
Star Trek was inspiring to me. I don’t like shows that tell me humanity is a disaster and that the best thing that could happen is everyone gets wiped out.
I’m all for bright-eyed optimism.
The only good thing is the CG city. Art team is good.
Sad.
GoldenAh: Amen! New ideas and new shows are needed. Fresh blood please!
GoldenAh: LOL.
They need to be more cheerful, optimistic and forward thinking with these new sci-fi shows. I don’t mind a little bit of a dystopian world view, but week after week, month after month is a bit much.
