What Did We Learn?

We have to admit that we were not that excited about Caprica.  We loved BSG fiercely and loyally but did not buy into that love being transferable to a prequel.  And maybe it isn't, but we have found a whole new love in Caprica.  We're in.  In the first two hours, we learned Admiral Adama was an adorable kid who probably faced a lot of discrimination and has always liked to read.  We learned his dad is smart, proud, complicated and at least a hundred different kinds of sexy.  The Admiral inherited a gift for crafting moving speeches from him.  We learned racism is fairly acceptable on Caprica and that just like our Earth, immigrants dumb down their names to fit in.  We learned Greystone is brilliant, at least a little insane and perhaps inappropriately fond of his dead daughter.  We learned Caprica is awesome and totally exciting.
