caprica - the pilot

Finally the pilot to Caprica is here. Is it any good? Yes, it is. I would even call it very good. It's kind of a strange mix of Strange Days, the Terminator, Frankenstein and the Godfather. The strangest thing is that it actually work. The main characters of Caprica are Joseph Adama, Will Adamas father, and Daniel Graystone. Daniel Graystone is the man who invents the Cylons. Just as in Battlestar Galactica one of the storylines is about religion. Daniel Graystones daughter Zoe joins a fanatic religious cult that believes in "the One True God". Does it sound familiar? The pilot is well written and has some good acting. I really like Eric Stoltz as Daniel Graystone and Alessandra Toressani as his daughter. I also loved to see William B. Davis, the Cigarette Smoking Man on The X-Files, as the Secretary of Defense wearing something that really did look like Dr. Eldon Tyrell's glasses from Blade Runner. Nice!
