“It’s Not called Battlestar Galactica: Caprica for a Reason”

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 dra...

A Preview of Things to come on Caprica

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. Actually I think we're in for a hell of a ride no matter what, and you're going to see the kind of science f...

There is more than one Zoe on Caprica

If you haven’t seen the pilot episode of Caprica yet then this is considered spoilers.

There of course is the original Zoe Graystone, who is murdered by her terrorist boyfriend along with countless others on a subway train. Original Zoe was a genius programmer just like her father Daniel Graystone. She was also a student, and a pain in the ass daughter to b...

Caprica begins in Two weeks!

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 a...

What do you want for Festivus?

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.

Small Screen Scoop Reviews Caprica’s Pilot

Jessico over at Small screen Scoop posted her review of the two hour Pilot episode of Capirca. She said that she gone into watching without ever seeing Battlestar Galactica, nor a huge fan of Sci Fi (though she admits to liking Heroes and Dollhouse). She says the huge draw for her giving this show a tryout was Jane Espenson’s involvement in the series. While I’ll hold steady to my belief that watching the show without knowing anything is a really interesting way to introduce yourself to the...
