Ok, well first off, I do want to say that I watched Caprica first. So, I didn't go into the series all that fresh, but still unknowning of what was going on.
First off, if we go with the cannon of Caprica being cannon and first in the series, how can we NOT mention the fact that people didn't know Cylons could turn into humans? It was a huge project at the end, and even AT the end they made it possible for Zoey to become a human/cylon mix. And that must have been HUNDREDS of years before the Cylons invaded Caprica at the beginning of BSG.
It just bothers me a bit...
However, we're not here to debate whether things are going to be cannon or not. We got one more prequel to BSG coming up, and maybe that will help tie things together.
So, I'm interested in where the series will go in the next couple of seasons for BSG. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews, so I'm interested to see how I'm going to like the direction they are going to take. Sure, I enjoy it so far, but this whole "we're searching for Earth while the Cylons constantly attack me" plot is going to fade really quick, and if they keep it up, I might not finish the series. It's just....blah.
Imagine every chase scene known to mankind, but put it space and the ability to randomly go into hyperspace without being tracked...that's the basic plot of BSG.
However, they are looking at other options. The little sidemission they had on both Caprica and Zeus(?) at the end of season one going into season two was a nice direction change and kept me interested, but I feel that at some point soon that things are going to get old and nothing will save the show from falling into the impending doom of SyFy's science fiction abyss.
And that new ship they made? The stealth ship? I don't understand why they don't modify all of those ships with that. Perfect minute men move and a total mind-fuck for the Cylons. They may not have the material, that's understandable, but I think it would be a HUGE turning point.
I do enjoy the character development, though. Each character adds a new dimension to it, and it feels kind weird when all of them are not completely in the episode. My two favs right now are Starbuck and...uh....the pilot that shot Boomer (I forgot her name). She's adorable, and she got a lot of lines/star time in the second season, and it was a great time to build her character.
Not a big fan of everyone else...they all seem like they have their own agenda to help save "mankind", and it's creating so much turmoil for the ship...but then again, THAT'S LIFE. So, I can't complain because they all have that inevitable feeling of "it should be done this way instead" rather than "Sure, why not. I'm just an extra anyway".
But I'm real interested to see where things are going, epically because of how I left it last time. Just like the ending of Season one, it had an intense season ending, leaving the "OMGWTF" moment that I love in season finales. So, when I get some free time, I'll start watching the next "season".
