Set 58 years prior to the events of Battlestar Galactica (2003), this prequel will explore the lives of two families: the Graystones - include father Daniel, a computer genius, mother Amanda, a brilliant surgeon and their daughter, Zoe - and the Adamas. The two families are on opposing sides of the decision to create the Cylons: intelligent robots that will one day rebel and nearly annihilate the residents of Caprica. Touted as "television's first science fiction family saga," Caprica is from Battlestar Galactica (2003) executive producers, Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. The show is produced by NBC Universal Television.

Anyone else excited about the upcoming Caprica series (prequel to Battlestar Galactica)? I thought the pilot was ok... but all the buzz surrounding Caprica has made me more excited than I should be haha. Especially with the news that Jane Espenson would be the showrunner (I think that recently changed though), James Marsters starring in a recurring role and one of the main characters being openly gay... here's hoping for some sex scenes ay? haha.

Here's an article on the gay character - http://www.afterelton.com/people/2010/01/jane-espenson . I like how they're not making the character have to come out or make a big deal about their sexuality. The character is gay. End of story. Very similar to the gay son in United States of Tara...

Anyone else gonna tune in? Also... was the pilot that recently aired on the Sci Fi channel the same pilot that's been available on dvd for the past 6ish months? I'm not going to bother downloading it if it's the same...

I looooved battlestar galactica, so i'm very excited about this.

When i was in America i kept seeing posters for Caprica everywhere that had this average looking girl with an apple in her hand. I immediately thought of battlestar, but wondered why the very hot Tricia Helfer wasn't on it.

I can't do those sort of shows. Don't know why.

Love your avatar tricky. Strangers With Candy is wicked.

Of course the murderer is tattooed as a signal to his psychotic mental instability

Ill be watching Pioneer although it doesnt sound too sci fi to me ?

I lurve my space battles ! remember the scene in BG where he was floating in a lake then changing to him drifting in space while 2 human ships pound one of the Cylon base vessels ? played it over and over...... yeah geeky.

Looking forward to new series of V.

I need to see all of BSG before I start Caprica. It has a Buffy writer or two, so I'm optimistic.

Definitely see it all before Caprica. Its one of the better sci fi shows to come out.
A few slow episodes ie get to know each others lives crap but then along comes
some Cylons and they are off fighting again.
Also some great near naked bod shots throughout the entire series.
