Ill give it a shot.. but im not buying it .

A honest opinion from a BSG fan...

Kirk

Okay, loved it, but why not commit completely to Lucy?

Can't wait to see this new show! Will be awaiting it anxiously! Thought it will be totally different from BSG, I'm sure it will be great!

I feel this Caprica show actually has some pretty good potential.

So I'm really confused! The 13th colonies were "final five" cylons who left the colonies thousands of years ago and made the "toaster" and "skin jobs".

BUT in Caprica, the humans making the origin of the "toasters."

What's going on?

KTxLibris, when they were showing the final 5 coming to the Colonies it briefly showed "toasters" from the original Battlestar Galactica. So, those represent the toasters that were created by the original colonies, while the 5 made toasters that we're used to in the show.

OK - listen closely... "What has happened before will happen again." Cylons were created at each point in the histories of each of the story lines. Once on Kobal, once in the 12 colony's, once on the old Earth and now we are heading in that same direction. Humans attempting to create what God has already done... create life.

This looks like it will be a great show. If it is written as well as BSG, I am sure it will do well.

I loved the series finale of BSG. I am glad that Moore and company did not answer all of the questions. I think any good story should allow leeway for people to interpret it in their own way.

I never saw that coming about Starbuck! What a great way to end a show! This series was truly amazing! I like how we came full circle! Very well done! I am impressed, and look forward to Caprica!

If the Cylons didn't evolve into humanoid versions until after the first human vs cylon war, then why are there humanoid cylons on this Caprica prequel series?

The Cylons in "Caprica" were created after (not before) the first human/Cylon war (remember, Caprica is set fifty years before the planet's destruction). However, all the anger (and angst) over the Cylons in general (in fact, there's similar anger/angst over the creation of the Cylons among the Capricans!) has to do with two traits that humans HAD to have *inherited* from their Creator (if religion has any basis in reality at all):

1. Humanity has a *creative drive* that cannot be "switched off" without distortion, and eventual destruction, of humanity. (Lest we forget, Caprica just before the Fall had become calcified, with artificial limitations on what could be done technologically, and the *toaster Cylons* (Centurions) had been chased away by being hunted to the point of extinction; does this sound familiar?)

2. Humanity is, as a species, incapable of accepting the inevitability of death. (All religions, without exception, try to find a way around this inevitability; however, they all require that some things be taken "on faith"; even Gaius and Hera pointed that out in the BSG finale.)

I have the feeling that "Caprica" will be VERY good, because ALL good science-fiction, whether you love it or hate it, invariably makes the reader/viewer/listener (the radiocast of "War of the Worlds") actually THINK.

There were four different groups of *toaster Cylons*:

1. The original group, created on Kobol. (This group was referred to by "Iblis" in the original BSG series.)
2. The Cylon 1.5 (IL-series) is an *evolved toaster* (so said the first Baltar, at several different occasions during the series run of the original BSG, most notably in a threat against Lucifer, who was Baltar's deputy aboard his command basestar).

3. The Caprican Series (these are the ones that both Hera and Gaius refer to in the pilot for the recent BSG series); like the 1.0/1.5 series, they were later chased out of human space.

4. The Gaius/Hera Series. These *skin jobs* are not only the most human-appearing of Cylons, they are also the most human in terms of actions. (Why else would one Cylon kill another in what is basically a *crime of passion*?)

It is these *skin jobs* that are heavily reviled by the *purists* among non-Cylons, because they force us to confront the scariest premise of all: what defines man? (It certainly does not help that they can actually hybridize with humans; if anything, that makes them all the more reviled.)
They also have their enemies among older types of Cylons (I would wager that Cro-Magnon man wasn't well liked by Neanderthal man, either).

WHINE!

I was searching for the seven Caprica Preview Clips that had been released and I came across this. It is a very detailed Caprica review by someone that has seen the pilot.

You mean we find learn where the ludicrous pseudo-religious storyline comes from?

What I noticed is that when movies are very bad, they wind up on DVD real fast. The remake of the Day The Earth Stood Still with Keenau Reeves wound up shooting straight to DVD after a few weeks out in theaters. Caprica looks like it's going the same route! David and Ronald better run back and take a good, long look at the starting mini-series and the show or go way back and look at the original show and even take a re-peek at Razor and Pegasus because it took the Cylons 40 years to make it to human form. why does Caprica have to start out with the human robots by re-creating the two sisters! That's what I want to know!

laundrymaid have you seen Caprica or are you ranting just to rant?

And its two daughters, not two sisters.

The Caprica DVD Pilot explains Number 6's comment that the One True God originated with the Centurions. The One True God ideology was the driving force behind Zoe Graystone's efforts to clone herself into a virtual avatar. She, and her zealot ideas, were duplicated into a centurion by her father, Dr. Graystone and thus the genesis of the One True God in the humanoid cylons recreated with the help of the Old Earth Fina Five.

Intriguing idea that the Cylonic rebellion was the work of dissatisifed, idealistic teenager.

Reading everyone's comments make me wonder how many actually watched the BSG series and the new Caprica movie. The conclusion of the series was how mankind continues to make the same mistakes throughout history. Caprica shows the mistakes that come about because of human emotions and obsessions. Reimagined fan has it right, becaause of the arrogance of one man to bring back his dead daughter he will inevitably lead the human race to near extinction. i suggest for those of you who certainly don't quite comprehend all of what is going on with the series to watch again and watch closely. Oh and yeah there are no humanoid cylons in caprica, the girls r virtual images.

I love Caprica so far! To me it has more of an "Outer Limits" feel to it then it does BSG which is just another reason to look forward to yet another great series. I am not thrilled about the long wait though between disc release and the series premier. Wish they could have been a bit closer together.
=^..^=

As an obsessed BSG fan, I loved Caprica!

I love the actors and while there are some newbie type qualities in some of them, it's just the pilot.

For those fans like me out there, we remember the pilot of BSG and we all saw Starbuck and Apollo and everyone on that show evolve as characters over several seasons. Look at the last season and jump back to season one- HUGE difference in the maturity of the characters. I expect the new Caprica series to go through the same growing pains and I believe it will be well worth it when the series gets past it's first several episodes.

In the meantime, I have tons of confidence in the writers and I know they'll give us an amazing story to become newly obsessed over. Can't wait 'till 2010.

this was soooooooo amazing!!!!!!

If you really want to complain about the origin of the Cylons, why not go all the way back to when Appalo explained it to Boxy and said that the Cylons were a race of "Lizard Like Beings" that made the robots. The Cylons then died off and all that were left were the Robots, people called the Robots Cylons because they were made by the Cylons. Now what happened to that part of the mythology?

Ok, so there are chinks in the time line buy I'm sure someone will come up with a magic eraser of some sort to fix them. Face it, this is great drama from any angle. If you want to get caught up in time lines, dates and how the pieces don't fit complain to Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons, he loves holes in plots. Me I will be watching a really good drama called Caprica.

Why oh why ? BSG was so impressive .
There is no need for this series at all
All was aid and done in the best way possible !
I will not watch this new series I'd rather watch my DVD BSG again :-)

The only thing I have to say about SCIFI channel is that they make us wait toooo long what is up with that. what a good good movie

i recently bought the dvd of caprica. the 2 hour version caught me off guard at the beginning- unrated - i know scifi channel won't air on cable during the series. i really the movie. i was in my teens during the original BSG aired by in 1978. caprica is definitely not like '78 BSG series.

Watched all 5 seasons of BSG and loved it. Just watched the Caprica pilot and thought it was fantastic. Looking forward to the series.

Yes! All I have to say is: YES! I loved it. There's so much to look forward to in this series. The one true god fanatics being the terrorists. The Cylons intelligence created by a teenager. The racism of the Capricans towards the other planets. Wow. Can I nominate the writers for the Nobel Peace Prize? Anyone second it? :)
