Caprica 1x15

There’s a Tauron tattoo ritual in honor of Sam and Joseph Adama’s promotion within the ranks of the Ha’latha crime syndicate. Then a flashback to the time their parents took a stand against the oppression on their home Colony. We see how Sam became a petty thief and Joseph the quiet observer. And we learn how they became orphans. But back in the future, the Guattrau would rather cell Cylons to the Soldiers of The One on Geminon than to the rebels on Tauron, and orders the death of Daniel Graystone after he has sold them the Avatar Resurrection program. Over in New Cap City, the Deathwalkers Zoe and Tamara are playing Avenging Angels cleaning out the trash. Too bad. I rather enjoyed the hedonistic sex and drugs and rock and roll. The ladies kill two wannabe virtual assassins, who in real life turn out to be two of Clarice’s husbands.

Following a hint by Joseph, Daniel realizes he will soon be killed if he delivers his “resurrection software” to the Guattrau. So, he approaches a disillusioned Sam with an offer he can’t refuse. Daniel will arrange Cylons for the Tauron rebels on the condition that Captain Sam will keep him alive. Hearing about the Avenging Angels hype, he returns to V-World to find his daughter, who wants nothing to do with him. Zoe and Tamara dream up some virtual impregnable fortress where no one will get to them. Meanwhile, Amanda Graystone’s position at the Willows residence becomes endangered when Agent Jordan Duram is removed from the Global Defense Department by his STO sympathizing superior Garra. For her part, Sister Clarice is soaring in megalomania over the prospect of implementing her Apotheosis program. Seriously, if all episodes were more like this one, Syfy would never have had to pull the show. For this was all quite entertaining!
