So I've been watching Caprica.... sort of watching. been giving it about 40-65% attention span.
But this show is kinda dull, to put it lightly.
I think one of it's main problems is that it doesn't know what kind of show it is trying to be.
You've got The Matrix meets The Lawnmower man going on complete with 2 Neo's and Homeland (Domestic Religious Terrorist), Law & Order, Dexter's Labaroatory, The Terminator & Grand Theft Auto meets Goodfellas all in a Next-Gen HD mush of Greys and Browns.
There is simply too much going on yet nothing all that interesting is really happening.
I'm sure I cold mash some more movie/tv titles into the comparison, but I think you get the point.
I'm not sure why I force this on as background noise, but I think I'm just trying to get through the series.
I have to say though that Zoe in her skin tight leather pants kicking ass in the New Cap City was pretty hot. Peaked my interest for the last few eps... until they did the whole "we control this universe" thing and transformed the terrain like this was minecraft.
edit: I forgot to mention that they have a mix of tech from 2048 with style from 1948
They have the tech to live their entire life virtually and create robots that are fully automated and very capable, yet drive around in cars from the late depression on up to late 90's models of a Ford Taurus. They have MS Touch Tables as a computer interface, digital paper that is like a tablet you can fold into a paper crane and stuff in your pocket and holovisors that you put on and live a virtual life, but they still use conventional ammo for their guns and no sight of a plasma knife or some other weaponry tech that would fit with their level of advancement.
But at least the special effects are better than you would expect from a cable TV show. Far from great, but very acceptable.
