Notes

Analysis

  • It is possible that the Zoe listening to Clarice's sermon was Messenger Zoe. Given the events of Caprica, especially the previous episode and this one, it is unlikely that Clarice would tolerate Zoe-A's presence under any circumstances, and it is just as unlikely that Zoe-A would allow Clarice to even suggest violence, much less preach it openly. Only a brief glimpse of Zoe is offered, so there are none of the usual indicators of a Messenger (for example, others in the same space obviously ignoring the character, or a flesh-and-blood character having a conversation with what turns out to be air). The strongest clue that the character is Messenger Zoe is the small smile that she betrays when Clarice speaks of the Cylons rising up to "crush" their human creators--something that she has seen before, and is on the verge of happening again.

Questions

  • Is Clarice's Monad church service held in the real world or in V-World?

Official Statements

  • From the Caprica panel at the Paley Center:
    • Sasha Roiz: "Our finale is unbelievable. It's so powerful that I remember me and Esai calling each other after reading the script. We were both absolutely floored by how it ends."
    • Esai Morales: "The finale drove me to tears on various occasions. What happens is so profound and out of the blue. [It was] so unexpected it took my breath away."
