I also think that in due time Amanda will definitely link Clarice with the STO, especially since they were both kind of high at the Dive things will certainly be said. Of course, perhaps Clarice was willing to let that slip if she believes she can convert Amanda into believing in God rather than the gods. But this has me wondering, can one simply be a monotheist without belonging to the STO? It's mainly a generalization that anyone who believes in a singular God must be connected to the terrorist ring, like with Lacy who seems to certainly believe in the One True God but isn't part of the religious group.

It's one of the things I think about, since the sweeping generalizations that anyone who is monotheistic must be a terrorist. It's a thing to ponder, in case Amanda does suspect and if Clarice can cover her tracks just in case.

I'm interested to know what Daniel is going to do once figuring it out, though. Zoe clearly wants to finish what she started but Daniel might not allow that. So seeing whatever conflict between them is going to be interesting to see.

As for the writng, I agree with you completely. This is such a different show from BSG (and admittedly, I only saw a handful of episodes of BSG) but it seemed to me that it was action driven rather than character driven.

Actually, BSG was both. It was very actiony but it also was derived by having very character-driven episodes and storylines, which is what made it more fleshed out than any other science fiction show; it cared about its characters and in the end it was all about them and their journeys, which I appreciated. The difference between that and Caprica is that BSG was post-apocalyptic attacks whereas with this show it's more about the characters and the actions serving major consequences for what is leading up to that post-apocalyptic future; less with the space battles and more of the at-home battles, if you will.

Both are exciting in their own ways, of course. :)
