Line 12:
* Why does Clarice essentially turn against her own species in the epilogue?
** Maybe she's mad they won't convert to her religion, and uses the Cylons (who thwarted her attempt to bomb the stadium) to undermine them.
** I always got the impression that Clarice genuinely believed she was doing her god's work. If she believed that god wanted her to side with the Cylons then she would, and based on the ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' finale the Cylon god is real and is fond of needlessly overcomplicated plans that involve genocide. We would probably have learned more about the details if the show had been renewed for a second season.
** It could be that when she talked about the Cylon's makers being overthrown, she did not mean humanity generally. Perhaps she meant the actual researchers, Graystone Industries or even the Graystone family in particular, who must at the end of the season be among her greatest enemies. It looks like we won't get any more context for her sermon now.
* What happened to the Zoe Cylon that we see her parents create in the last few seconds? It's not present in BSG, and there's no evidence of its' existence - all the Cylon models are accounted for there.
Line 23:
** Do we know for sure that V-world didn't exist in some form in the Colonies still? Galactica didn't have her computers network as a tradition after the First Cylon War and it's a military vessel so there's no reason for it to have access to such a system and the infrastructure for it was destroyed with the Colonies. It may very well exist, just in a fashion we were never able to see used.
* I realize this can border on [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like]], but as a fan of the show, I have to wonder why so many of my fellow fans are so quick to say that [[Viewers are Morons]] after the show's cancellation. Not only was it a ''very'' different show than BSG, BSG was a re-imagining of a well-known show that was ''actually really good''. I respect the show and the story it presented, but I always watched the episodes knowing the show wasn't going to last.
** Agreed, ''Caprica'' was always going to have a bit of a hard time getting an audience - as a spin-off, people who didn't watch or didn't like ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' would be wary, but given the massive change in tone and setting there was no guarantee of keeping existing fans.
* First, why does Clarice keep her job as athenian priestess? while being a covert christian, sorry, follower of the one true(cough)god? RDM's clumsy attempts to paint polytheists as being fanatical intolerant bigots like christians? Why not just tender her resignation or some BS excuse?. Then she could plant bombs full-time. Maybe being a fanatic bigot doent pay well, hard to say. Also, for being an athenian, the school she noiminally worked in sure looks an awful lot like a british boarding school. Barely anything about her or her school even hints at classical religion.
** And speaking of "fanatical intolerant bigots" ^
