Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: Very brief but in ''The Imperfections of Memory'', Joseph and Emmanuelle walk by a graffiti-covered wall. The camera lingers and eventually zooms to a specific graffiti: The image of a man that [[Epileptic Trees|somewhat resembles]] [[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The theme song, for the visuals almost as much as the music. Thank you, network, for keeping [[Bear McCreary]] as the composer.
* [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy]]: It can be hard to find anyone to root for among the main cast.
* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: Lets just say that the last two episodes are a major [[Base Breaker]] for [[Caprica]] watchers who kept on with the franchise even after BSG's controversial ending.
* [[Follow Up Failure]]: As a spinoff to ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Joseph Adama's wife is called Evelyn in documents seen in ''Battlestar Galactica''; the one killed in the bomb blast is named Shannon. At first, it doesn't compute...and then Adama's assistant (or something) shows up (played, incidentally, by [[Stargate SG-1|Teryl Rothery]]); she gets him coffee (reluctantly), and he complements her on her shoes. Her name? Evelyn.
** Also, the scene where this Evelyn seems quite interested in Joseph's tattoo - which is situated on his chest. This question is likely to be answered sooner then later.
*** More or less confirmed as of "End Of Line;" {{spoiler|Emmanuelle from New Cap City is shown to have been Evelyn all along, who wanted to get Joseph out of V-World; she caresses him after Tamara kills his New Cap City avatar.}}
*** As of "False Labor", {{spoiler|Joseph and Evelyn have gotten intimate. With the blessing of Shannon's mother Ruth. So yeah, Evelyn is clearly Willie's stepmother-to-be}}.
** In the [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[Battlestar Galactica
*** {{spoiler|Never, as it happens. William "Willie" Adama dies, and Evelyn and Joseph name their son after him. However, Willie was shot while he, Joseph, Evelyn, and Sam were trying to take money from Sam's old workplace. Since his namesake died doing it, embezzlement is a sore spot for Bill.}}
* [[Game Breaker]]: Being a "deadwalker" in New Cap City gives you [[immortality]] and [[Reality Warper]] powers.
Line 29:
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: The Cylons don't look even remotely human, but they have very human reactions and gestures. Examples include the first Cylon looking to Daniel for permission to finish off his opponent during the first demonstration, the Cylon ostentatiously checking his clip to see if there are any more bullets, and the combat maneuvers in the Pyramid stadium.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: All the monotheists are terrorists or dupes of same.
** This is lessened if you've watched ''[[Battlestar Galactica
*** Except that it's also suggested {{spoiler|that "God" isn't quite what either the Cylons or the colonists thought he/she/it/they were. So perhaps [[Grey and Gray Morality|no complete good or bad guys in that respect.]]}}
** Also, the two most prominent LGBT characters (Sam Adama and Sister Clarice) are a hitman and a member of a fanatical religious group. Of course, both of them seem to care deeply about their spouses and families in general and there are very few characters who aren't [[Black and Grey Morality|shady]] in some way, but so far it looks like [[Caprica]] is following ''[[Battlestar Galactica
*** Opposed more on the fact that it was a political struggle between herself and Barnabas. When it comes to pushing her agenda she has no qualms about sending off her followers to suicide bomb a stadium full of people. She might be just as [[Ax Crazy]] as he is.
** The only three black characters, one is the Chauffeur without lines and one is a judge who accepts bribes. The other is part of a cult some elements of which engage in and/or encourage terrorist activities.
