[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Was there any real point to any of the Caprica flashbacks? Gaius Baltar found his elderly father a bit of a drag. But the main reason he was so into Caprica Six wasn't the fact that she LET him into her, but because she got his dad a good rest home. So what? Laura Roslin lost her entire family in a car crash, and moped until a one-night stand with an ex-student inexplicably persuaded her to enter politics. So what? Despite spending his entire life in the Colonial military (and going to extreme lengths to get back in after they mustered him out), William Adama considered a civilian job until he decided he didn't like the questions they asked in the interview. So what? Saul Tigh likewise considered becoming a civilian but chose his military life and his friend over his wife's desires. Cedric Daniels? Er, I mean, so what? Boomer felt she owed Adama after his pep talk got her through becoming a full Raptor pilot on Galactica. So why not just not shoot him that time? Lee Adama and Kara Thrace's mutual attraction pre-dated Zack's death. So what? And Lee got buzzed by a pigeon. So what what what? OK, all the above were "there but for the grace of God" scenarios. But what are we to take from them? That God preferred these people avoid their likely alternate fates (extinction in the fall of the Colonies) and muddle through in the vain hope that this time, through their actions, all that has happened before WON'T happen again? And the entities responsible might just start to worry, 150,000 years later, that maybe they were expectuing too much? Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it, it certainly has had all sorts of emotional effects on me. I can remember where I was when I saw the Miniseries. I can remember initially deciding back when season 1 began I wasn't going to watch - this was just before my daughter was born and I happened to see a bit of "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down" on Sky and it put me off! I can remember later being persuaded to watch by you guys. I can remember how each bit of peril faced by Hera would make me rush into my baby's bedroom to make sure she was alright. I can remember going to bed in near-shock after the way four of the Five were revealed. BSG has been a part of my life for nearly six years. I'll miss it. I'm still undecided whether I'll bother watching Caprica though. . . 8) [/QB][/QUOTE]
