"There is another sky"

First off, flist, if you don't watch Caprica you should, it's the best thing you can find on tv these days, period. Not many shows are that ambitious and creative. And there are pretty men!

As for "There is another sky", I don't know where to begin for there's so much to review, so I will just say that the episode rocked big time. The title was beautifully chosen, the acting was perfect, every scene was flawless and powerful. We didn't get much Graystone goodness, but when we did, it was superb. All the reservations I had before, I didn't have this time, perhaps because the things that didn't quite work for me (the STO stuff mostly)was left out here. Also I think that Zoe is good for me in small doses only...

My only complaint is about the sequence with the characters introducing themselves before the opening scene, instead of the usual "previously on...". I could live without that.

ETA2: There's a poetry meme going on that I saw on prophecygirrl 's journal:

If you see this, and are of a mind to, post a poem in your LJ.

So here's "There is another sky" by Emily Dickinson:

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields—
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!
