CAPRICA News, Articles, Reviews Misc. tidbits

[g.o.d]

I can't understand SciFi channel how could they order Caprica season 1 without the airing of pilot.... It is a very strange decision...

There were some short scenes from the show on scifi.com. I won't say I hate it, but it didn't grabbed my heart either. Greek mythology OK. Robot technology OK. But where are the cylons, space adventure, exiting discoveries? So maybe Caprica will be the new space-Dallas with A.I. feeling, but it almost doesn't bind to BSG at all with anything.

given the fact, that Caprica series takes place 10 years before the first war, it's obvious we won't see any skinjob from BSG.

Ok, I knew this. But how can they fill a complete season with the "war" between the two family?

My biggest problem is whatever promo scene I watched I reminded to "they will be bombarded and killed"...

SYNOPSIS

Set 50 years before Battlestar Galactica, Caprica follows two rival families and their patriarchs – Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) and Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) – as they compete and thrive in the vibrant world of the 12 Colonies, a society recognizably close to our own. Enmeshed in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons, the two houses go toe-to-toe blending action with corporate conspiracy and sexual politics.

With any luck, the R2 release won't be far behind.

But can someone please explain this unrated thing to me...?

I know Razor was 'unrated' yet here in the UK, it DOES have a rating, and it's a 15. I heard in another thread that when the Stargate movies were "unrated" one of the users (a mother) was concerned, because unrated usually means pornographic material (her words, not mine). So could someone please explain this?

Cheers.

[the fifth man]

I will definitely be picking up this DVD. I have to give it a shot.

Apparently in the US direct-to-DVD films or made for TV films are often released unrated. In the US this is legal because the MPAA is not a legal authority. In the UK, it's illegal to release anything that isn't BBFC rated unless it is marked as exempt.

Battlestar Prequel Caprica Will Debut on DVD
Feb 6, 2009 11:12 PM ET

Now this is peculiar. Caprica's two-hour pilot/TV movie will debut on DVD on April 21.

That's at least eight months before the Battlestar Galactica prequel begins its 22-episode run on the Sci Fi Channel. Just last month, in fact, BSG producers Ron Moore and David Eick confirmed to TVGuide.com's Nerd High Priestess Erin Fox that Caprica wouldn't premiere on the Sci Fi Channel until 2010.

Caprica Pilot on DVD April 21

The fact that we're watching the last episodes of Battlestar Galactica is a stark reminder that very soon the show will be gone. The finale airs March 20, and after that, there's going to be no more Starbuck, no more Adamas, no more Cylons...

But it turns out the Cylons, the Adamas, and the folks of the Twelve Colonies will be back sooner than we think. Even though Caprica, the prequel series that will explore the origins of the artificial intelligence that becomes the Cylon race, isn't due to start airing on Sci Fi for months yet (the channel has been vaguely signaling a premiere date sometime in 2010), the feature-length pilot is actually going to be released in April. And in an unusual (and very canny) move, the Caprica preview is bypassing TV broadcast and coming out straight to DVD.

[BJdavidLS]

i thought i'd bump this since the leak has happened

Yeah, thank you, you're great.
By the way, just a few minutes before I read this post I pre-ordered my copy from amazon
Can't wait to watch it

[daniel9]

lol just finished watching it im glad i didnt order the dvd i dotn like it enoughfor repeat viewing. hm there was some small changes btwn this and the script posted awhile bak. i can just bet if this came on scifi chan thered have been alot of blurring becuz of the nudity lol fun fun fun. and we see the first version of the cylon

[jenks]

I've read some reviews and I can't say I like what I'm hearing, not only because the consensus seems to be that it's a soap with the young vibe, but because I'm worried that if it's true that maybe Sci Fi is trying to push SGU in that direction too.

[kharn the betrayer]

not done watching it yet but I have to say the butler the greystones have is adorable to me for some reason

also spoilers

Spoiler:

wow didnt take long to see the first cylon centurion which was lulzy since it couldent aim worth a damn and Admiral Adama's 69 years old I though he was a slightly younger in BSG

great sound track as well so far *makes note to buy soundtrack*

Edit:I finished it and

le spoilers

Spoiler:

while I think It started off slow it got alot better towards the end, the Cylon part was awesome expecially the by your command line, and damn did it get alot better at shooting....plus the music became very galacticaish as well with the Drums and the Remix of ''wander my friends'' from Galactica

so Dvd here I come *hopes they dont release it with the S1 boxset like they did BSG*

[Madwelshboy]

Mel in Washington, D.C.: Getting so excited for Caprica! Will there be any BSG crossover stuff?

Spoiler:

Not in the pilot (available online and on DVD April 21), but according to SciFi veep Mark Stern, "I'm lobbying for that. There will definitely be references to Battlestar in Caprica at some point."
