Battlestar Galactica - Prequel Series

[Keith Justice]

Unfortunately it's coming...

Caprica

From executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick (Battlestar Galactica), writer Remi Aubuchon (24) and NBC Universal Television Studio, this new series is set over a half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better. But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot - a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica) Caprica weaves corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga.

Prequels suck. Tell the damned story in chronological order.

 

[Skyknight]

Give us an Atlantis-esque spin off set on New Caprica

 

[Keith Justice]

I fully agree. I hate prequels with a passion.

 

[Mr. Underachiever]

Does anyone here besides me have any optimism for this show?

Yep. Look at Enterprise. That was a prequel and it failed miserably. :disappoin

I thought Enterprise was actually pretty good. Especially the last two season. Granted they fucked everything up in the finale....

I'd definitely give it a try if I can see this one on TV. I loved the old BattleStar Galactica series when I was a kid. Granted, sequels are hard to pull off but if done well, it can be a fun ride and at the same time increase your appreciation for the original series.

My guess is it won't be like the original series but would rather follow the vein of the latest Battlestar series which is dark and angsty.(I hate it.) :redface2:

Caprica is supposed to actually be closer to the style of the original series
