Summary : Decent Amanda Graystone
driven story, relieving converging arcs, fascinating computing and
scientific topics, puzzling MCP revelation, intriguing Joseph Adama
quest and cliffhanger
Score : 8/10
The story focused more on
Amanda Graystone and her troubled past. Paula Malcomson's acting is
quite good considering the emotional character she has to play. It
was enlightening to learn more about her but I worry that she's not
strong enough to defend herself against Sister Clarice's
manipulation. As for the other arcs it seems that they're finally
converging. The relationship between the geek and the beast, Daniel's
young assistant and Cylon Zoe, finally made sense for example. If you
dig fields like programming (Genetic), computer graphics (Procedural
generation) and artificial intelligence then you should be fascinated
by one of their dialog in the virtual world. I wasn't convinced by
the visual effects but the contents was accurate and interesting. We
also learned a major information about the MCP and it seems Daniel
and his collegue were as puzzled as I was. Joseph Adama continued
searching for her daughter and I really wonder what will happen once
he finds her and how it will influence the other arcs. Lacy was also
featured but her few scenes were far too anecdotic.
To sum things up in my
opinion it was probably the first good installment since the
excellent Rebirth. It's like if the arcs were closing in on
themselves to give birth to a story that could definitely be
captivating on the long term. Moreover it ended on a cliffhanger,
clumsy but intriguing, so you better be ready for an other round
because it seems Caprica is back !
