SCI FI Announces Caprica

NEW YORK—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.

    The phrase "sexual politics" alone tells me all I need to know about what the series will be like.

    I've never watched BSG for years, infact I can't even remember watching it. This sounds interesting i'll have to find out when it starts in the UK.

    For some reason I get an image of a fight scene in a nightclub.

    But honestly, I'm afraid of it. They really need to finish galactica first.

    With strobe lights and high-concept directing? Like when Sheridan got beaten up in that bar after Garibaldi sold him out at the end of season 4?
  • I think you all may be missing the meaning of 'sexual politics'...I'd venture to guess that it may well mean 'gender politics'

    Why did they use 'sexual politics' then? Well, maybe it IS the politics of sex...or maybe the press writers are idiots.

    Press writers tend to be that.

    Given sexual influences play a big part on the Dr Baltar part of the BSG story, it seems just as likely that they're planning on taking that idea to the next level.
