I was really starting to enjoy Lacy as a character, and I really wish we could've seen her rise to power.
I didn't really buy that she rose to be leader of the STO just because the Cylons obeyed her commands. You'd think she'd just be assassinated and her someone else take her place.
I imagine assassinations would be pretty difficult when the target has untiring robot bodyguards. Plus, this is a religious organization; once the original power structure was removed, many people would likely start seeing Lacy's control over the Cylons as divine inspiration.
Daniel's use of the Cylons to prevent the bombing was a fun sequence. I was really getting tired of those damn STO members. As much as they focused on the religious themes of this show, no one really explained what the difference between these faiths are - i get the one god v. many concept - but what are the different values, if any, associated with them? It seemed like pretty much everyone was willing to kill, steal, lie, screw, and manipulate anyone in order to get what they want with no religious consequences whatsoever.
The Cylon in the stadium sequence was pretty exciting, but I've ALWAYS had a problem with how on TV people are always about to control things like a half dozen or so Cylons with an 80's computer or a simple laptop program. I also was annoyed that the STO bombers didn't blow the hell out of themselves when the first two or three were blasted.
I tend to agree, but this isn't just anyone controlling the Cylons, it's the guy who invented them. I can suspend my disbelief a little more in that case.
The end of Caprica... spoilers
