Although I wonder if we'll see any of the Colonial fleet... while I like the lack of complete space-based stuff, I want to see some evidence of the times. The Colonials must be pretty advanced even then, as in ninety years they'll have the Battlestars and FTL travel...
If I'm getting the timeline right (and I might be wrong, it does all seem a little sketchy at this point), this series is set 51 years before the attack on the colonies, the cylon war ended fourty years before the attack on the colonies (roughly 44 years before the current point season four), we don't know how long the cylon war lasted right? But it couldn't have been much more than a year or two at the most, given that you'd think that it would take eight or nine years between the invention of the first cylon and the start of a war.
I would love to see some shots of the Galactica being built in this series. That's kind of my only wishlist item. But I don't want to see constant nods or references to BSG, or any really that aren't important, and that sounds like it will be the case. If it got too self-referential that would kill it.

I´d love to see (just for a sec) a toddler Laura Roslin at some point. Just a glimpse of her....or hor her young and lovely mom (and teacher too).
Professional pyramid game......I know it´s stupid, there is absolutely no reason for it, just for our fun and to remember this is not a different place. This is Caprica, but it´s Battlestar Galactica universe too.
The promo looks dark and promising enough for me and I think it´s a wise decision to make a totally different show instead of recycling the same formula. It´s a rich, broad universe, still unexplored. We should be able to watch how Cylons were created by a man, when and how they rebelled, whether other Colonies suffered because of Caprican Cylons first and finally how first Cylon War began
"All of this has happened before......"

Originally posted by DOIKECARTER View PostI thought the same thing about the timeline. All Cylon evolution has happened during Bill Adama´s lifetime, and his firs Viper mission was just before the Armistice. Besides, let´s remember Battlestars were created "looking at the past" to avoid Cylon infiltration....we should expect (even thought they never make it in to any screen) computers and ships better than the Galactica we know (and love).

If Bill is about ten or eleven she'd be about four or five? based on the difference Mary and Eddie's ages). We probably won't, I think RDM said they won't be doing things like that, but *sigh* it would be so cute! And then we could all say: "what happened?" j/k

I was under the assumption that the series took place 51 years prior to the first Cylon war, but I guess that wouldn't work considering Adama isn't 90 years old.
I wonde if we'll see the Galactica being built, it would be a cute little cameo to have someone watching the news and it flashes to them building a battlestar or something.

Zoe had a turbulent start to the series. Where does her journey take her as the season progresses?
"She struggles to figure out if she can get out of the robot body and leave Caprica. She's the Zoe avatar so she's not the original. What's her place in the universe? What can she do? Where can she go? She certainly feels like a person, so what's the difference? She's gonna face struggles and self-discovery."
Daniel and Amanda have grown apart in recent episodes. Will they ever be able to put the past behind them?
"It's been a difficult time - they've gone through a really traumatic event. We'll see that continue a bit more for them. I don't wanna give it away, but Amanda's dangers are not over."
Is it likely we'll see Daniel and Joseph becoming friends?
"All I'll say is that their storylines will start to intersect quite soon."
What can we expect from the season finale?
"A cliffhanger - multiple cliffhangers! We've just started general discussions for a second season, but we don't know if we're getting renewed yet. We know where certain stories would take us. I'm hopeful that we'll get picked up - I'm feeling good!"
