OK Sci-Fi - I hate you for cancelling Farscape and you don't even know that I live on this plane of mortal existence, because I'm only an insignificant part of your secondary revenue stream from foreign sales of shows to the Space network but please for the love of God please fix what you did wrong with the second series finale of Battlestar Galactica before you dilute the writing staff with the spinoff.
Caprica would take place more than 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.
Blah blah blah - in fifty years they all get nuked, so who cares?
And no, I'm not going to spoil the Canadian viewers about the season finale of BSG since they're about 5 episodes away (boy did it piss me off though...) If you're that desperate go find it on bittorrent or pop the cash to watch it on iTunes (sucker...)
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 will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.
Maybe I'm being too hasty here - if the rumours are true that NBC wanted to grab Galactica and put it on regular greasy, slimy, vacuous network TV - then this might be a brilliant move! Offer them the spinoff as sacrificial victim so that Galactica remains pure and on a science-fiction network where it will be appreciated and nurtured properly. Caprica can have all the bed-hopping, evil twin, amnesia-laced story lines...in space...that the chattering masses appreciate without infecting the mother show...
