   I agree.  This showed just how far apart the Taurans were from the   
   Capricans and, by some sort of proxy, how far each of the colonies   
   might be from the others.

   Well, for me it would seem something like this joke:   
      
   A dog looks at humans and says "they love me, they house me, they feed   
   me.  They must be gods"   
      
   A cat looks at humans and says "they love me, they house me, they feed   
   me.  I must be a god"   
      
   Zoe is experiencing what appears to be ultimate power.  And, let's   
   just admit it, getting killed might affect one's mental state just a   
   tad.

   I suspect part of the reason was the choppy start which turned people   
   off.  Something about Americans wanting instant gratification vs.   
   charachter development.
