Liked the cast (Polly Walker of Enchanted April fame is always great) but the plots were muddled but it lacks the suspense of BSF because we know what’s going to happen.

It takes spectacular writing and acting to keep viewers on the edge of their seats even though they know what will happen in the end. Apollo 13 pulled that off. Caprica didn't.

SciFi also did the amazingly stupid, stupid, stupid stunt of a multi-month gap in the middle of the season. That is the kiss of death for a serial program. I don't think even 24 could have survived as 12 & 12. I watched it through the first half season and have 4 or 5 episodes after they came back saved on my DVR, but I lost interest in the story in the interim. Split seasons on serial programs do not work! Networks, stop doing it. You're just wasting money and killing programs.
