    well here the article for those who don't know http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/0...acticais.shtml

    the shows going to be set more than 50 years before the events of Battlestar Galactica, Caprica takes place on the capital world of the Twelve Colonies. There humankind thrives, living in a peaceful society with the benefits of high technology. But the development of an advanced, robotic, artificial life form is about to change everything.

      The big question is: WHEN?
      School is overrated.

        My guess would be late 2007 - early 2008.

          I wonder if they will reuse some of the original series designs like the mushroom shaped Basestars and disk shaped fighters. They could potentially even bring back the IL series who would serve a more administrative role while the Centurions were the warriors.

            Who should be frontrunners for acting roles?

            Would known or relatively unknown actors be better in cast.

            Due to rising cost in YVR would it be best filmed elsewhere? This might impact actor’s availability.

            Should there be any ‘Adama’ grandfathering? Knowing that this will take place before current timeline and family military is established.

            Can we sustain another BSG show? Knowing for the most part many has issues with Stargate spin-off, Atlantis.

              I total love this idea! I’d love to see the cylons as good guys being taken advantage by the humans. I’d love to see this go in to the war years.

                SCI FI CHANNEL UNVEILS POWERHOUSE DEVELOPMENT SLATE

                Unprecedented Commitment to Original Programming With Top Tier Creative Talent Including Jesse Alexander, Freddie Prinze Jr., Eric McCormack

                NEW YORK -- April 26, 2006 -- SCI FI Channel's Mark Stern, EVP, Original Programming, announced today an aggressive slate of original scripted dramas, miniseries, alternative reality and late night series for the Channel. Already established as an industry leader with highly acclaimed and award-winning shows such as 'Battlestar Galactica,' SCI FI Channel's latest slate of high profile projects showcases top industry luminaries and offers imaginative, broad appeal entertainment.


                Scripted Series
                '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.

                  They will use unknowns - cheaper. Also sounds like they will use the same writing team which will spread them awfully thin. Plus, someone else mentioned in the other thread, it sounds like SciFi is looking for a replacement for the Stargate shows. The casts, especially SG1 have been around along time and probably get more money than unknowns would in a new show, and if the whole show is based on "Caprica" then the special effects would probably be a lot cheaper.

                      I still want to know what sexual politics mean. That phrase sounds kind of funny to me.

                            Guess Will Robinson and family were not Sci-Fi, then again it was the 60's.

                              As long as this new series doesn't damage the quality of BSG, I'm all for it, I guess. I'll at least give it a chance.
