I loved the review for the pilot, so I’m pretty excited to see what you’ll have to say for the first episode. I really enjoyed the show, but it seems as though some of what I enjoyed most was the subtle Battlestar Galactica references, which a non-BSG-fan watching Caprica wouldn’t notice. It makes me wonder whether there would be enough other stuff to keep them interested in the show. I hope so… It’s just hard to shake the feeling that this show might be one of those awesome things that I watch until it reaches some super epic climax and then gets cancelled.
@grumpy_otter; I would not rely on the previews if I were you. So far they’ve been at a point of being “so bad they’re funny” thanks to the ridiculously stereotypical announcer man and the merging of every screaming scene there is into 30 seconds.
@Jason; Totally with you there.

I hope the show delves into the culture of the 12 colonies and life in a society where intrastellar spaceflight is common.

Its definitely a different best. Will be hoping that it will make it through the whole arc but this is SciFi so it’ll stick around forever. Want to see Cyclon War 1 unfold.

All I can say is Bear McCreary is a genius. His music cues tied into BSG beautifully. At the end, when the Adama theme hits, I almost lost it.

I plan to give the show a shot. I thought the pilot was hit or miss at times, but it looks like the show could be very enjoyable.

I did indeed say no spoilers on this post. Comment deleted.

Didn’t Jammer ask for there NOT to be any spoilers in the comments?

I really want to watch this, but I don’t know when it premieres in the UK. If anyone has info that would really help.

Are there pod casts for the series? I haven’t been able to find them, but I’m a bit of a luddite.

yeah, but I think the whole dead daughters/ avatars thing is how you get into the skin job-Cylons in BSG.

The previews have not intrigued me–except I like Eric Stoltz. Resurrecting dead daughters? Yuck.

But since you give it a thumbs up, I’ll try it.

I’m in!

Unless it starts to suck. Then I’m out. My admiration for BSG does not commit me to watch all of Caprica if it turns sucky.

I’m in, but I don’t actually get the channel it airs on here in Canada, so, I’ll have to watch it on the stations website, and there is the fact that next week is the Dollhouse Series finale. At the same time.

Oddly enough, the first important Dollhouse episode aired the same day and time as the BSG finale. Go figure. (For those that don’t know, Dollhouse is Tahmoh Penikett’s [Helo] show after BSG.)

I thought it was good as well and I have high hopes for the show.

I’m all in and will give it the ol’ college try.

So other than TNG, Caprica is your next reviewing project, or are you just doing the pilot episode.

As for the pilot, it’s been On Demand for a while now and the episode actually airs tonight. Still don’t know if I want to see it but we’ll see what happens.

Not going to spoil anything, but I didn’t think that the pilot was very good, but I did think it was very promising,k and I’m easily planning on watching the series.

Haven’t seen it yet, but will definitely watch. Every review I’ve read has good things to say about it, alleviating my fears of it being a corny soap opera. I still have my doubts as to whether it’ll make for a good weekly series, but I’ll give it a fair shake.
