I saw the released extended caprica pilot, and thought it was very good. Obviously it's very different to bsg - everyone expecting viper combat is just setting himself up for a disappointment, it's a different kind of show. But if you look at it as a separate entity to BSG that's set in the same universe, then it's actually quite good. The casting was well done, especially the two leads (Eric Stoltz is simply incapable of doing anything bad). The plot was interesting and well paced, the connections to much later events of BSG are present but are subtle and non-predictable.. of course, we have yet to see how well will the actual show hold up, but so far I've been impressed with the pilot.

Spoiler:

Did that Cylon remind anyone of Episode 1 C-3P0? (exposed circuits and that)

When I have finished watching ALL of Battlestar Galactica (the original series and then start with the revived series) then I'll consider Caprica.

Old school Cylons>Reimagined Cylons

FTW!

Spoiler: IN THE END, EVERYONE DIES

Seriously though, I'm willing to give this series a shot. From the trailers, it looks to be a series that attempts to dive deeper into what it means to exist, whether or not we have souls, if we're each truly unique, etc. The sort of stuff that BSG attempted to get into with the skinjobs and resurrection, but didn't execute to its fullest extent.

Of course, the real treat for us BSG fans will come in the later seasons (assuming it lasts that long), with the build up to the first Cylon War. Personally, I'd love to see how the Cylons are able to build such a formidable fleet of ships of completely different design than the colonials. I'd also like to see how they managed to organize themselves and start the war.

By the way, good to see you, Trim! Been a while!

I finally got around to watching Caprica the other day, thought it was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the history about how the cylons were first created.

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #827 on:** June 21, 2009, 12:19:54 AM »

when is it supposed to be aired publically? i thought it was by now?

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #828 on:** July 18, 2009, 02:37:06 PM »

just an update (albeit a little premature i guess lol)
Season 4 soundtrack will be released i think in 10 days, but you can pre-order it at any point... personally, i am looking forward to this one, especially kara's piano piece of the final five music

_{(that track better be on the cd)}

oh, and does anyone know about when ~~Sy-Fy~~ Sci-Fi will be airing Caprica?

Bones · « **Reply #829 on:** July 18, 2009, 05:02:42 PM »

oh there will be Kara's piano song, just check song list on Bear's BSG music blog ;)
I thought it was scheduled for 21st July... well at least that date is stated on Bear's blog...
anyway I can't wait for it

(battle for Cylon colony is almost 12 mins long :shock: and it shall be far better than Prelude to War, Battle on Asteroid or even Storming New Caprica)

SO SAY WE ALL!

Bones · « **Reply #835 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:29:11 PM »

Yeah I miss BSG too

Caprica seems to be good but I don't kinda like the fact that the first cylon is a robot with human memories and personality

Trim · « **Reply #836 on:** July 22, 2009, 01:37:40 PM »

So is scifi for sure going to turn Caprica into a series and if so, when?

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #837 on:** July 22, 2009, 07:24:12 PM »

ya thats what i was wondering... wasnt it supposed to have aired already?

Bones · « **Reply #838 on:** July 24, 2009, 07:03:45 PM »

i've heard S4 soundtrack and the best two words to desctibe it are "frakin' awesome"

Pegasus · « **Reply #839 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:27:32 PM »
