[ale] OT: who's bought/seen Caprica?

[Jeff Hubbs]

I never liked the original BG.  Hardly sat through an entire episode.  I 
sat down to watch the new miniseries out of idle curiosity.

By the end of the first half of the miniseries, my jaw was on the 
floor.  I felt like I was seeing some truly great television, of a sort 
that comes around rarely.  I think the entire series was a tremendous 
accomplishment, and actually, I'm glad it's over.  I actually stopped 
watching the series because it was getting to be too much.  The actors 
were so powerful that I found myself being impacted too much by what I 
was seeing - it was taking too much out of me.  So, pop that DVD in and 
give it a look.
