Who loved the Battlestar Galactaca Series? original or the newer version?
There is a prequel to the galactic conflict airing on Syfy tonite called Caprica, pilot was already released on dvd but the show is set to begin tonite.
Here is a brief synopsis.
Outline
Whereas the dark, post-apocalyptic reimagined series revolved around a final bid for survival, Caprica is preoccupied with a world intoxicated by success. Ronald D. Moore states: "It's about a society that's running out of control with a wild-eyed glint in its eye."[7] The Twelve Colonies are at their peak: self-involved, oblivious, and mesmerized by the seemingly unlimited promise of technology. Framed by the conflict between the Adamas and the Graystones over the resurrection of loved ones lost in an act of terror, the series will explore ethical implications of advances in artificial intelligence and robotics.[3]
Set against the backdrop of a society with technology ahead of our own, Caprica is grounded in urban locales rather than in space, and focuses on corporate, political, familial, and personal intrigue. With the troubled relationship between two families at its center, Moore himself has likened Caprica to the 1980s prime time soap opera Dallas, and it has been referred to as "television's first science fiction family saga" from wiki.
