Another full day today: part time job #1, ortho appointment for boy #2, high school parent-orientation...thank you twitter for reminding me that #capricaisback!
Caprica, I am still trying to suss out your complicated characters--particularly the women: is Zoe Graystone brilliant or spoiled? Exactly what kind of relationship did she have with her mother, Amanda Graystone? Will Sister Clarice Willow's motivations become clearer? What is the good sister's endgame, anyway?
And c'mon SyFy Channel: if you do, indeed, want to fully engage a broad female audience for this program, diversify your advertising strategy beyond photos of the very-lovely though oft-angsty Alessandra Torresani pouting at a Cylon. Again.
Hit us instead with Caprica's full emotional range: the questions this program posits on religion, sexuality, gender roles, ethnicity, and our growing dependence on technology... as well as the semantic and ethical questions that arise around definitions of life and death once humanity's abilities to tinker exceed its' capacity for empathy and understanding--these themes are all so rich with possibility. Caprica is more than just eye candy for adolescent boys--show THAT in your advertising!
