basically and caprica be the cylon origin story . the premise of the show be interest . however and the writer follow so many story line and clog it with too many pov character that it bog down the storytelling . the plot creep at glacial speed dissipate what tension it might have have . in any give episode and little or nothing happens . daniel graystone ( eric stolz ) be a military contractor work on a robotic soldier use a steal chip . unfortunately and his only work prototype be drive by the ai version of his dead daughter zoe and who die in a suicide bombing cause by soldier of the one ( sto ) and an underground monotheist extremist group . meanwhile and joseph adama ( father of battlestar galactica commander adama ) be struggle to hold his family together while search for the ai version of his daughter ( who also die in the bombing ) in a machiavellian virtual version of caprica ( which strongly resemble 1930s chicago ) . in addition to the vapid writing and caprica suffers from a similar problem a many origin story . we already know how it end ( i. e. the cylons develop their own civilization and rebel against humanity ) .
