‘Caprica’ Spins Intricate Plot Threads

Episode Commentary: Gravedancing

Remember that episode of “Battlestar Galactica” that followed “Sometimes a Great Notion” – where absolutely nothing happens? Bear in mind also that this is precisely the episode that precedes the frakking amazing duo, “The Oath” and “Blood on the Scales.”

Yes, “Gravedancing” may be “Caprica’s” equivalent of “A Disquiet Follows My Soul,” but that may very well turn out to be something spectacular.

As of last week, Joe Adama (Esai Morales) finally seems intent on taking that long-awaited Ha’la’tha-flavored plunge and executing classic, Tauron “blood for blood” mentality, having asked his brother (Sasha Roiz) to “balance it out” with the Graystones.

The man of the family in question (Eric Stoltz), however, is finally warming up to the idea of public relations, and even booked an interview with the corporation-hating Baxter Sarno (Patton Oswalt) on whose show he plans to inform the public that Zoe (Alessandra Torresani) was always troubled and to distance himself – and the holoband – from his deceased and woefully implicated daughter.

Meanwhile, Agent Duram (Brian Markinson) is finally given clearance to search the Graystone household, and even Athena Academy, though not before Sister Clarice (Polly Walker) receives a mysterious message tipping her off.

While nothing of explicit importance happens in this episode, save for the Graystones salvaging a fraction of their public image (and losing 60 percent of the company’s profits), it does raise a fair amount of interesting questions.

Precisely who was it that warned Athena Academy’s head S.T.O., and will Lacy (Magda Apanowicz) actually be able to transfer Cylon Zoe to Gemenon, as she hopes? العاب ربح مال حقيقي

The favorites this week absolutely have to be the Taurons. From Grandma-Adama’s arctic advice to young Willie (Sina Najafi) about using fear to achieve desired results from one’s enemies, to Sam’s wickedly wry throughout, Little Tauron seems to be the home of dashing, dangerous, defiant cool on Caprica. And those cultural tattoos tell quite a story.

In fact, the future admiral’s knife-happy uncle is becoming quite a character indeed – witty and fun, but in a decidedly sociopathic way, Sam Adama brings to question just how Willie turns out so virtuous. العاب قمار حقيقي

Another particularly fun and curious scene involved a dance sequence between Zoe’s biggest fan, Philomon (Alex Arsenault), and the very first intellectually-involved cylon, herself. Charming to the last, it’ll be interesting to see what becomes of this rather unconventional relationship.

As “Caprica” returns next week with “There is Another Sky,” the question of Tamara (Genevieve Buechner) thankfully returns to the fore. Just how will she get out of the V-Club, and what precisely did Leoben mean when he told Roslin those hauntingly famous words in “Flesh and Bone? كازينو البحرين ”

“Adama is a cylon.”
