5? My dvr only recorded 4....funny it also said it aired already in Nov when it cancelled. I guess they at listing place never updated it.
While Caprica has finished out in Canada with no breaks after Syfy announced the series cancellation, the channel has finally readied things for the final dump of the final five episodes unceremoniously and with little advertising today. The series had a rough rollout from the start with a good deal of time between the pilot movie's release on DVD to its airing and then to the series itself which in turn had suffered from difficult fan reaction and a break in the season just as events started heating up. With tonights airing, Syfy is able to wash its hands of the series and focus on its next Battlestar Galactica property with the pilot that's set to move us towards the first Cylon war and bring more action and war based drama that people felt made Battlestar Galactica what it was.
As a huge fan of Caprica and what it offers, I lament its passing and hope that Syfy can give the fans of the series a Blu-ray release to go with out Battlestar Galactica sets.
Thanks to saiyiansreign823 for the reminder.

Started watching from the first. Only caught the endings because nothing else was on last night so was surfing. The show from the begining was very slow and the the soap opera format made it even worse. But the last night did get you caught up in everything that had happened. But still left somethings hanging.
The first season was probably much too much of a slow burn for most people, but I really liked it. Heck, I liked the slow burn of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' second season as well.
There were so many problems with the way Caprica was marketed, and no one really knew what to make of it. It was an entirely different kind of show than BSG, and I'm not sure viewers were willing to give it a chance. Heck, that crappy ending of BSG probably didn't help, either.
I have to admit the last 4 were really good and if Ron Moore would have moved the story to that point before the end of the first season, this thing would have grown and we would be talking about a season 3 right now. I do like how he tied everything up including the lead in to the rebellion of the Cylons...though he never did say what happend to the Tamra character. Anyways, I recommend the last four, very good episodes.
It's a shame. But they took too long to the good stuff, and even thought the last minutes were awesome, in the end, it was too little, too late. One thing that I would love them to do is to integrate the ideas they had for Caprica regarding the in-universe history as flashback in Blood & Chrome. Some cameos by the Adamas or even Clarice, the Graystones or the monotheists to see how the whole rebellion began and what the frak happened with Zoe-A and Tamara-A.
Craprica ends and the universe rejoices.
But seriously, it was just a religious terrorism soap opera. As if people really wanted to watch yet another ‘religious zealot blows someone up’. We get that on the nightly news. And occasionally tossing in a gratuitous robot or a spaceship flying by doesn’t magically transform a borefest into SciFi.
They should have set it in Berkley Ca and had the main characters invent facebook of something while banging each others wives in secret..shhhhhhhh….. They might have captured some ratings.
Good riddance it was really bad, and the end didn't make a whole lot of sense, considering it was the "final five' that supposedly created the skin jobs.

Too bad. I never watched Caprica but that's because I always come into series late now I may not even bother.
But really looking forward to Blood and Chrome
