Caprica 1x06

On Caprica, when Daniel Graystone was desperately trying to finish his Cylon prototype for a military contract, he instructed Joseph Adama to order the Tauron organized crime syndicate to steal a meta-cognitive processor, i.e., an artificial intelligence chip created by Graystone’s rival the Vergis Corporation. We briefly visit the capital of the planet Tauron, a beautiful, faux-classical city, where we learn that two people were killed in the theft. Now industrialist Tomas Vergis approaches Graystone to confront him about the theft and the double murder, offering a lot of money to purchase the famous Caprican sports team owned by Graystone, revealing in due course that he is set in ruining all of Graystone’s dreams and ambitions.

Meanwhile headmistress Clarice, facing competition from some rogue Soldier of the One, sets out to steal the “avatar” (virtual identity) of Zoe Graystone, who she believes to be some godsend with visions of an eternal (though virtual) afterlife. Zoe’s friend Lacy, however, has persuaded foot soldier Keon to arrange a meeting with this rogue Barnabas, because she has promised Zoe to take a package to the planet Geminon. For his part Joseph Adama is still trying to find his lost daughter Tamara in V-world. No doubt this doesn’t mean much to you. It’s not a show I would recommend to anyone (not that it’s bad, but it isn’t great either), but since I’ve seen the entire Battlestar Galactica, I might as well watch the last few episodes of this one...
