Great show as usual guys!
While I enjoyed the troll-kill AGE segment, I really liked the Caprica one.
Basically, being a huge BSG fan, I somehow never got too interested in the idea of Caprica. Everything I saw kept reminding me of the 'black market' episodes of BSG, you know, whenever they deal with the seedy underbelly of the fleet. I find those episodes BORING as all get-out, and the shift in tone and genre is way too much for me. I hate them to the point that I skip them during re-watches, which means that all of a sudden,

between episodes. I don't mind missing such a plot development if it means I get to skip the suck-ass episodes.
When I saw Caprica being that, I was all 'no thanks'. Also, I saw the teaser for the aborted second season, which you guys reference. Yes, it looks like that'd be an interesting show to watch, but I have to put in a complaint here about the pitiful CGI. I always found the CGI in BSG to be quite good, especially by series 4, although they never managed to get very good at having CGI cylons interact with human characters. If anything, what we see in those last minutes of Caprica looks worse! The virtual church scene looked like something out of a 1990s CD-ROM adventure, with hammy acting, corny writing, and terrible CGI. If they ever made a second season, I would have hoped they'd have made a better effort with the CGI Cylons, otherwise whatever weight and seriousness the show had would go out the window.
In other words: when I wanna watch tokusatsu, I'll watch tokusatsu, not a Galactica spin-off!
