~ Caprica What do you think?
January 18, 2010 - 8:37am
I just saw the pilot extended cut on SyFy
Premiers January 22, 2010
Set 58 years before Battlestar Galactica, Caprica follows two rival families - the Graystones and the Adamas - as they grow, compete, and thrive in the vibrant world of the peaceful 12 Colonies, living in a society close to our own. Entangled in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons, the two houses go toe-to-toe, blending action with corporate conspiracy and sexual politics. Caprica will deliver, intrigue, political backbiting and family conflict in television's first science fiction family saga.

What did you think?
I haven't watched Caprica yet but I'm excited about it, I loved BSG.
I am catching up on some BSG I wasn't a fan of the show
I never was big on SyFy but all of a sudden I'm totally into it
I've been disappointed with Caprica. In its effort to replicate the high drama of BSG it forgot to include one of the things that could make BSG so intense and yet at the same time provide relief from humanity's plight, ACTION.
I realize the creators wanted to make this more of a sci-fi soap, but very few of the characters are as compelling as BSG's, even with all the drama, and without BSG's action sometime's Caprica's drama almost implodes on itself.
To be sure there are elements I enjoy about it, but it's no BSG and has yet to make itself "must see" to me.
I've been enjoying Caprica, but than I never was a huge fan of BSG so maybe that has something to do with it?
So Sorry Luke...so far I still like it...of course there are issues but "overall"
Haven't had time for BSG I hope its not a lot of seasons
I know this is a Prequel and so Adama is the little boy (I think)
Here is a response of someone "who has watched both"
"I find it amusing that people are responding so strongly and negatively to the show. The premise and style of the show are exactly what was promised two years ago when the concept was first picked up.
When I saw the pilot a year ago, I saw the weaknesses that are inherent in any pilot, but the potential plot development is incredible, especially given the culture clashes that were alluded to in BSG. So you dont like the fact that there arent bombs every 30 seconds...too bad. The network is finally getting back to intelligent programming. If you want crap, watch ABC."
Here is eppy 4
FYI: Sexual content (implied group sex), in this eppy and don’t forget Sam is gay..it seems to bother a few posters at Hulu so I’m just making mention of it.

'Caprica's' first Cylon and chief enforcer talk about the Syfy show's future
Friday's "Caprica" (8 p.m. Central Friday, Syfy) may defy your expectations. You'd think an episode in which characters find themselves trapped inside a virtual world that resembles a videogame would be brightly colored and chaotic.
Not so. Michael Nankin, who directed several key episodes of "Battlestar Galactica" (the drama for which "Caprica" acts as a prequel), bathes the "New Cap City" game in warm sepia tones and uses sharp camera angles, retro clothes and beautifully composed visuals to recall the tense, melancholy world of film noir.
"Caprica" has had some trouble unifying the many stories it's trying to tell, but Friday's episode is more successful because it focuses on two major threads -- the virtual "V-world" of "New Cap City," and the attempts by Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) to connect with his son William (Sina Najafi), despite the fact that both are grieving the deaths of family members in very different ways.
In the March 5 episode, James Marsters ("Buffy") begins a recurring role as a terrorist leader, but John Pyper-Ferguson is also memorable in a meaty guest role as Tomas Vergis, a business titan and frenemy of technology mogul Daniel Greystone (Eric Stoltz). "Caprica" still may be a bit slower paced than I'd like, but it is also setting up some intriguing story lines and the cast and guest actors are top notch (it's especially pleasurable to see Stoltz work with Pyper-Ferguson and Paula Malcolmson, who plays Daniel's wife, Amanda).
Speaking of defying expectations: Alessandra Torresani, the exuberant actress who plays the “first Cylon” and a virtual avatar of Zoe Graystone on the Syfy drama, isn't much like her characters (though they all display flashes of her impish irreverence).
