overall i be rather impressed with the pilot . the initial first fifteen minute be worry and a it do feel the creator be try to create a science fiction version of the o. c but this fear be rectify when a terrorist incident occurs and from here the show step into theme and situation that i very rarely see television tackle . bsg dealt with theme such a monotheism and existentialism and reality and death and terrorism but they be primarily subtext and there for the viewer to contemplate on or ignore if they so choose . here on the other hand these subject be the focus of the show and i personally find myself evoke such work a ghost in the shell and the matrix a reference point while watch and be surprise by how well the theme be be discuss . i think if you be a fan of the two i just mention or other film or television show and which deal with the subject i reference and i think you will find at least something here . in term of a start point to explain how the situation we know in bsg come about i believe they handle it in a very interesting way and i especially like how they explain where the cylon belief in one god come from and the creation of caprica have just enough advanced and contemporary technology throw in to make it appear in the future but not completely alien to u a viewer . the only real weak point i notice be the relationship between the greystone parent and the actress who play lacy rand . while i like eric stoltz and paula malcomson individually and together their scene seem to lack chemistry and at this point it could simply be down to develop their character and but this be something i think needs work . i also find magda apanowicz to be unconvincing in her role . this again could be down to experience and time need to develop and but throughout the episode her acting appear force and not completely confident . base on the pilot i greatly look forward to see where caprica go in the future and hopefully it will touch the greatness that bsg once do .
