Spiritual Adaptation requires different mediums, both Continuum and Caprica were TV shows. Not to mention that these similarities are pretty superficial, making this Square Peg Round Trope anyway.

* SpiritualAdaptation: Strangely enough, this is an adaptation of ''Series/{{Caprica}}'' of all things. While at first glance, this may be chalked up to the many, MANY actors who crossover with both it and its parent series, there are simply too many similarities to be entirely coincidental. Let's count:
** Characters
*** A dark haired, aloof ActionGirl with superpowers and a very skewed sense of morality, exploring an alien environment. Are we talking about Kira Cameron or Zoey Graystone?
*** A ByTheBookCop who slowly jumps off the slippery slope of radicalism in his failing attempts to deal with a fanatical terrorist organization, and played by Brian Markinson. Jordan Durham or Jack Dillon?
*** Richard Harmon as angsty teenager who slowly TookALevelInBadass.
*** Wiliam B. Davis as a high ranking political figure in a dystopian sci-fi show?
** Themes
*** AIIsACrapshoot, CyberneticsEatYourSoul, ProtagonistCenteredMorality, AnyoneCanDie, hefty doses of GreyAndGrayMorality, many a CorruptCorporateExecutive, the list goes on...

Season's 1-3 deal with her slow realization that YouCantGoHomeAgain and just how messed up her time actually was, culminating with her finally accepting living in the present and dedicating herself to making sure her future never comes to pass. Come the first episode of Season 4, she receives a head injury and a brief hallucination, and snaps back to her previous goal of trying to get home, despite being told by everyone that this is impossible.

* SeasonalRot: While things were getting a little murky come the second season, it still managed to attract fans and keep telling a relatively compelling storyline. Season 3, however, is where most fans agree the show really started falling apart, with many plots seeming only half-developed or rushed, and everyone turning on each other at the drop of the hat, making the heroes ''and'' the villains pretty unlikable for once. It also doesn't help this season decided to play heavy with a time travel plot to RetGone the ending of Season 2 and played up an obvious EvilTwin plot with [[spoiler: Alec]]. It's also a major sticking point this was the season that caused the network to cancel the show, approving just one more mini-season (only 6 episodes) to wrap things up.

Then Season 4 came along and basically through the character's growth AND all of the carefully established rules of time travel completely out the window. Basically, while Season 3 is not beloved, Season 4 is reviled.
