Caprica Executive Producer Jane Espenson told reporters at the Winter Press Tour that new viewers don’t have to feel obligated in watching BSG in order to enjoy Caprica. ““Legitimately, the show stands on its own… It’s not called Battlestar Galactica: Caprica [for a reason],” quotes EW.com

“Caprica, like Battlestar Galactica, doesn’t treat the [sci-fi] genre like a toy department,” exec producer David Eick told reporters at Winter Press Tour. “We take it seriously.”

Translation: The drama, starring Eric Stoltz, Esai Morales, Polly Walker, and Paula Malcomson, will be brimming with BSG’s trademark moral complexity. “There are no stark good guys and bad guys,” said fellow e.p. Jane Espenson. “Everyone has moral shadings and we can tell very complex stories as a result.”

The website io9.com received advanced copies of the pilot episode (which we’ve all scene by now) and the first two hour long episodes shot months after the pilot. io9.com concludes that the show does get to a slow start, that the premise is vaguely similar to Dollhouse (I’m assuming he’s referring to the “Attic”), but he’s hopeful that series will pick up and become fraking good.

The two year wait is almost over. Way back in 2007 we began to start hear rumblings about a sequel/prequel of Battlestar Galactica that was in the works. Almost immediately it leaked that the series would deal with the creation of the Cylons and the battle between two families, the Graystones and the Adamas. We’ve come a long way since! The series was almost canned a few times, then finally Syfy gave the Pilot a green light, then after that it was almost canned again!

Now we are two weeks away from this new series.

By now we’ve all seen the pilot episode, and we already know how the story ends with the destruction of humanity, but how we get there is going to be fun!

The Daily Beast has obtained an exclusive sneak peek of the second episode of Caprica. In the scene Zoe, in the body of the proto-cylon and her friend Lacy meet each other for the first time in the real world.

According to Mediaweek.com , Syfy has just signed an exclusive sponsor for the new series Caprica. Verizon Wireless has thrown its support behind the Battlestar Galactica prequel’s two-hour pilot episode. Syfy has ordered 19 episodes of Caprica (which makes 21 hours total).

Mediaweek adds:

Per terms of the deal, the Verizon logo will be visible in the lower third of the screen throughout the premiere, which will be presented with limited commercial interruption. The client also will receive tagged tune-ins and billboards, as well as a handful of traditional 30-second spots.

According to Caprica TV and Krypton Site Ryan Kennedy has been cast to appear on the 14th episode of Caprica. What sort of role and who he plays is still a mystery. Most recently Kennedy was on the ABC remake of V, Stargate Universe and Smallville as Cosmic Boy.

TV Squad writer Jason Hughes knows what he wants this holiday season. He wants Caprica to be as good as Battlestar Galactica.

Caprica to be as good as Battlestar Galactica was, or at least close. It doesn’t have to be the same, as I know it’s not, but it has to keep me on the edge of my seat and leave me contemplating theories and hovering in anticipation before each new installment.
