Happy Thursday Bloggy. It’s almost the weekend! Even though I’m staying in this weekend to study, weekends are still the best. So today in class we watched Caprica. I was so incredibly confused. First off, why were the girl and the boy leaving Caprica in the first place? I understood she didn’t get along with her parents very well, but other than that I can’t think of any other good reasons. Also, did she know her friend was going to set off the bomb in the subway? Or was she thrown off guard when he opened his coat and showed everyone the bomb? It really makes my stomach turn to think that 2 kids would ever think of doing something like that. I’m sure when this show came out there was much controversy over that action and the 9/11 bombing. Another thing I didn’t understand was the whole virtual reality game going on. If you die in there, do you die in real life? And why were there humans sacrificing other humans for fun? The whole idea of that place really baffled me. I really feel bad for the mother of the girl. She had no idea that was coming, and I bet she feels a great deal of regret after hitting her daughter the night before. If hitting someone was the last thing I ever did to them before they died, I would be pretty upset with myself too. Poor woman. Alright that’s it about Caprica for tonight. Peace out Bloggy.
The train bombing made me think of 9/11 too. But I was really lost throughout the show.
ReplyDeleteI was really sad when the boy blew the train up because I wasn't expecting that at all!
