Captains Log 71: Caprica

I wasn't particularly fond of the episode we wathed today. It did not appear to be going anywhere in the long run and in the end it was just sort of decent. The characters nor the story line were all that interesting and it didn't hold my attention very well. The episode lacked action and the frontal nudity of the girls did not help it keep my attention. It might have been their desperation move to keep male viewers. More action or scenes with a deeper plot would have been appreciated to at least keep me interested in this perspective.  I am unsure of what else to say about it as most of the episode just did not keep my interest and the storyline appeared to sit still. A few people died and there was a virtual girl who was a copy of the real girl that died. Honestly that is about all that I got out of it and I am not surprised that it lacked in the story line department. Most prequels are not that great because the show has already advanced beyond the spec of the prequel. Who cares how it got to where it was in BSG? We do not need the pre-story after the actual story was made. It is along the same lines of how I feel about the star wars pre-stories coming out many many years after the star wars trilogy had been out. They were my least favorite movies and I disliked all of them. I guess I am just not an overall fan of prequels. The just seem pointless after making the story that came after them. Why not just start with them?
