An astonishing breakthrough is taking shape on the planet Caprica. The rapidly evolving spheres of human and mechanical engineering have collided, along with the fates of two families. Joined by tragedy in an explosive instant of terror, two rival clans led by powerful patriarchs, Joseph Adama (Esai Morales, Jericho) and Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz, The Butterfly Effect) duel in an era of questionable ethics, corporate machinations and unbridled personal ambition as the final war for humanity looms. The latest phenomenon from the executive producers of Battlestar Galactica (Ronald D. Moore and David Eick), set in a time over 50 years earlier, Caprica is entirely its own world - provocative, thrilling and startling relevant to our own.

Caprica > beware:
This was an intriguiging introduction to the development of the cylons. The VR scenes are quite edgy - parts are not appropriate for kids due to the nudity and events that take place.

The time period is set before Battlestar Galactica, but slowly explains what happens before BG begins. This series is very slow paced, so just give it time and you might just enjoy it. The Pilot episode on the DVD is the beginning of the series and sets up the story for the next epsiodes.
The performance's are excellent, the cast does an amazing job with their characters. Give Caprica a chance!!
Science Fiction at a Glacially Slow Pace:
Seriously, Allesandra Torressini (sic) is gorgeous and seems to be a decent actress, but this program has some serious misfires: 1. Rarely does anything actually HAPPEN. People talk. People moan. People sigh. People cry. Audience sleeps. 2. Zoe's mom goes from denial to proclaiming her daughter's guilt in front of thousands of people in the course of what feels like fifteen minutes. 3. I'm not convinced that Zoe's AVATAR has been placed in a robot. Please cut back and forth between Zoe and... more info
Interesting pilot to a much anticipated sequel.:
This is the pilot for the much slower moving BSG prequel. It does enough to pull you into the plot and basically sets up the details for how we got to where we were in BSG. My hope with this series is that they will show us a bit more of the Cylons as they free themselves from the humans and maybe even the Cylon war. Though I doubt this will be shown. I really enjoyed the BSG series, so I am interested that they are doing a prequel. I just hope this series picks up a little more steam with the plot. It is a... more info
