SCI FI Announces Caprica

SCI FI Channel announced the development of Caprica, a spinoff prequel of its hit Battlestar Galactica, in presentations to advertisers in New York on April 26. Caprica would come from Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, writer Remi Aubuchon (24) and NBC Universal Television Studio. 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. 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 will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.

Truthfully, I'm not sure how I feel about this. But then again, I didn't have any interest in watching Battlestar Galactica in the first place and then I got absolutely hooked! Like, irrationally so. I routinely cry at episodes and am torn between my love for Lee Adama and Kara Thrace. And I'm not even a gay. Starbuck is just that amazing. I don't know if I have the energy to become emotionally involved with a whole new set of characters. We'll see.
