Just wanted to comment this is a lovely post on the demise of Caprica. You clearly cared about the show a lot, and had the patience to unpick quite a few of the plotlines. More patience than me, I'm afraid, as some of what I felt was narrative incoherence eventually just outweighed my liking for the show.
Though it's true that the final episode they showed was a better one than several others, certainly, I felt, the one that came before it, if, for no other reason, than it finally explained in a comprehensible way why Zoe and Amanda had so much tension between them. It seemed to me, since that was so core to understanding the show, we could have had something about it previously, simply to understand her sense of displacement in her world.
But I loved the way you talk about Clarice seducing and slaughtering all of her students, and so many people around her. And in the end, subsequently seducing the mother of her favored student. And your exposition about Sam.
