The Old Man as a young man
Apr 3 2009, 6:31 PM EDT
So far Bill Adama is the only credited crossover character between BSG and Caprica -- I had always assumed that his anti-Cylon sentiments stemmed from his tour of duty in the Cylon War, but it seems now that they may reach much farther back, into his childhood. Is this a good thing? Does it seem strange to place Adama so close to the story of the creation of the Cylons?

I thought it seemed a bit too convenient when I saw the first preview for Caprica, but not so much since BSG finished. Things became so supernatural / religious by the end of BSG that nothing surprises me now. I don't think there are coincidences in this universe. Everyone seems to have a special destiny.

It brings BSG into the orbit of Greek tragedy (tho' the ending isn't tragic for BSG). By personalizing the fall of the Colonies, emphasizing the conflict not just between the Adamas and the Graystones, but between Tauron and Caprica. A great start!

I don't think it's strange. I think it is very interesting to see what shaped Adama and turned him into the man we knew in BSG.

I think the whole series deals with Destiny much like Lost. In the Case of BSG and Caprica it is the Destiny of Bill Adama.
