I predict that this will last one season. Everyone will watch at first hoping it lives up the BSG, but then realizes its crap and moves on 3/24/2009 3:27:08 PM |

Quote : | "Home Media Magazine's John Latchem states that Caprica has "all the same dark overtones and richness of character that fans have come to expect from Galactica." He notes that Caprica "[evokes] a feeling similar to Gattaca in its depiction of a potential near-future, while infusing elements of the Matrix and Terminator movies to set up a bridge to the events viewers know will unfold."[20] The Futon Critic's Brian Ford Sullivan finds the first 15 minutes "a weird mix of teen angst, hedonism and virtual reality", however, "once established, the world of Caprica has the potential to be just as compelling, interesting and multi-faceted as its "sequel" - minus of course the cool shit blowing up in space. In just 92 minutes, Caprica manages to dish out a surprisingly dense, but not too overwhelming, array of plot threads".[21]" |
"Similar to Gattaca, infusing elements of The Matrix and Terminator movies" immediately turns me on to this. Gattaca is one of my favorite movies, so for me personally, I can't wait to watch this.
The beginning of this thread reminds me of the initial reaction people had en masse when they learned Scifi was remaking Battlestar Galactica, before the pilot had been aired. ]3/24/2009 5:01:28 PM |

the pilot movie is decent, but I'm not sure I see it working as a weekly series 4/21/2009 3:35:31 AM |

I liked it, and I wasn't expecting the boobies either. 4/22/2009 10:44:02 AM |

Since the pilot has been officially released can we agree to let the spoilers fly? 4/22/2009 10:46:31 AM |

when did this come on? i havent seen it yet
and if you are going to post spoilers....please post them the correct way.
the correct way is to either use HTML or put the spoiler alert with a hefty amount of white space. none of that 2 carriage return bull shit.

It came out on dvd. Theres no point in trying to spoiler tag it if its been released imo. Consider it like discussion of an episode after it airs or a movie after it comes out. 4/22/2009 11:35:28 AM |

I guess what I was also getting at was its kind of hard to discuss if you haven't seen it. 4/22/2009 12:53:20 PM |

ok so
spoilers start here!
I think it started out kinda lame aside from the titties. You had this whiny teenager whos all mad at her dad and those damned CAPRKKKANS!! for some dumb religious reason. But then they get on the train. And then that dude is gettin all nervous and im thinking to myself oh man it would be so fucking awesome if he blew himself and that chick up. When he brought out the bomb vest I cheered a little bit. Space muslims. woot.
The dude who plays adama's dad is a pretty good adama. I like the whole Tauron(sp?) space mafia thing. Cigarette Smoking Man got owned pretty good.
The whole religious thing seemed pretty retarded until Atia got in on it. She owns.
There was plenty of classic Ron Moore dumb-technology-as-plot-device going on. The idea that the super cool AI is going to make the cylon better able to track and shoot targets was pretty dumb. Kind of reminded me of the retarded space refinery plot in that one BSG episode where they move shit around inside their ships with conveyer belts and bulldozers. Also the idea that a society could continue to function after someone invents VR porn is a stretch.
But whatever. The series could be pretty good, but as far as pilot quality goes its not as good as the BSG miniseries.4/22/2009 2:20:16 PM |

Spoilerish, I guess:
With the timeline they established in Caprica, Bill is supposed to 69 years old in the miniseries, which is a bit older than I would've thought. It would mean that he was 29 in the Razor flashbacks. Kind of nitpicky, but I guess I was just expecting him to be maybe 5 or 6 in this. 4/22/2009 2:54:06 PM |

I enjoyed it. I think it will be really interesting to see the development of cylons and how it is incorporated into the backstory of cylons from BSG. Adama is also a badass. 5/23/2009 2:38:46 PM |
