I really enjoyed the pilot. Hope the series can do it justice
-
Actually, it looks good, I just like that play on words.
-
than the sci-fi we are getting on t.v at the moment. Flashforward isn't exactly stellar, just a load of people frowning with half the show being made up of flashbacks/forwards that we've already seen 5 times before. SGU isn't any better either, just a load of people walking around with frowns again in a story that really isn't going anywhere and seems to be trying it's best to be like BSG. None of the actors are really that likeable either. It's only saving grace is the soundtrack. A mix of bladerunner and mass effect.
-
but he has black hair and no fake brit accent.
-
Marsters is obvious. But it sure sounds like Patton that says "This is very disturbing"....and you see the back of his fat little head right after he says it.
-
It's sad when the V reboot is better than this.
-
You should have taken a closer look.
-
What happened to Battlestar Galactica and Cylons??? Where di they go?
-
BSG was awesome, pilot for Caprica was great. Guess slow burn shows are too much for the ADD generation these days. Looking forward to it's inevitable build-up to the first cylon war......and am willing to bet if it gets a complete run the final shots involve Galactica being built. Whatever, looking forward to it.
-
He cracks me up and was good in Dollhouse, I loved the pilot ep for this show and it looks exciting here, Sopranos in Space 2010.
-
The time-period and setting for that matter... confuses the hell out of me... probably won't give this a shot unless I'm really, really bored.
-
Seen the pilot way back in April didn't think much of it....i wanted to as i watched all the BSG eps so was very disappointed!
-
Marsters was in there?!
-
Sound and fury signifying nothing.
Similar to MooreBSG. -
I now have ZERO interest. It looks like it's from the mid-90's WB.
-
Saw Caprica on DVD and it was great. High concept show that is going to build up to the Cylon war. Also, V was a very good pilot. They introduced the entire concept of the series and introduced us to all the major characters in an hour and did it coherently. Production values were great and movie quality.
Everyone wants to crap on everything just for the sake of crapping. If you hate everything so much, pick up a video camera and make your own stuff and see how hard it is to create something. -
Yessir, especially pre apocalyptic prequels where I know everyone will soon be dead anyhow. "Will Joseph Adama escape the clutches of the mob?" Yep, he lives to be a old man and then his planet gets nuked. Involving no characters I'm familiar with, and preoccupied with answering questions about BSG that nobody was asking. I'm all for good franchises continuing but not in this direction.
-
You know how it all ends
And this is just the middlequel
After he does this he moves on to Kobol
Not fooling me again. Skipping this and The Plan -

Not a particularly exciting trailer, but I said the same thing
by jardinier
about the clips from the pilot, and I ended up loving that. So, we'll see.
I guess if all you care about is the story, Caprica isn't all that interesting. I get that. I suppose those are the same people that complained about "God did it" on narrative grounds? It's a legitimate beef (and it's even more legitimate to call bullshit on thematic grounds), but one I can't quite share: I didn't watch BSG for the plot, at least not primarily, I watched for the characters and for the thematic content. The same will apply to Caprica. Knowing how it'll all end won't make a difference; what I want to see are interesting characterisations, morally ambiguous choices and themes that resonate with our times. If the showrunners give me that and are a little more consistent than BSG was (i.e., characters shouldn't behave diametrically different from their usual personality just for raisons d'intrigue, and then be back to normal one episode later without any explanation), I'll be happy.
I also saw The Plan a while back and expected worse from something Espenson-scripted. Some of the "humour" fell flat, and there could have been a little more meat to the "plan," but if one goes in with low expectations, one might be pleasantly surprised. Especially if one's a fan of Cavil. -
This trailer is one of the worst things ever. What is this show about? Who are these people? There isn't even any indication it's SF at all.
I actually liked the pilot, this trailer though? -
I mean jesus I couldn't even finish it the guy sounds like a stoned surfer boy...
-
For the record I really liked " The Plan "! But then again I'm kind of a Stockwell fan. And saying " God did it" is a giant over simplification of the plot. And really not very acurate. It's more like " Man did it ". It just shows how much you didn't pay attention.
-
Their stuff is funnier than most of the shit on Comedy Central.
-
it was a cop out ending
Never revisited how or why the lords of kobol were considered gods.
They obviously had superior tech, and a broken temple/ observatory, produces results from an arrow being placed in a toppled statue, that they were unable to do with all their functioning tech.
Dean Stockwell is the same in every role. Right down to the hand gestures. Right down to the cigar.
Also he was responsible for what would have been an awesome scene, becoming mediocre.
The battle on the bridge where Cavil kills himslef was originally going to have Tigh throw him from the platform into the cylon base.
A symbolic and actual casting out and down.
Stockwell insisted on his way
And by that time moore was letting the characters write the story.
Not just the actors, the characters.
Moore said that Gaeta told him that he was gay
Or something to that effect.
Moore has delusions of Lucashood, what with his prequel mania
Next he'll spend 20 - 30 years digitally tweaking the stories
Painting the same canvas over and over, never quite finishing it
But releasing the Platinum Directors Ultimate cut or a variation every couple years -
...from the pilot DVD I watched. That trailer was absolutely horrible. Voice-over guy sounded like a complete douche who didn't lend the goings-on ANY of the gravity that they have in the show. Really, the pilot was damn good, and I especially liked the take that maybe, just maybe, the humans really HAD become so ridiculously decadent that their annihilation was, well...deserved.
-
Shut the fuck up you Damn moron!
-
This trailer looks like self-sabotage from SyFy. If all I had to go on was this, I wouldn't want to watch it either.
-
Why?
The BSG finale was the greatest disapointment in media. Worse than anything I can recall. Worse than Seinfelds, Worse than MASH.
After over 6 years it cops out to god did it
And now *the great man* turns his attention to another cop out.
Prequels
Fuck off lock -
are you looking forward to this series? What about BSG and RDM has got you excited for this?
I loved BSG for the first couple seasons but it rapidly fell apart and was limping along by the series lackluster and uninspired conclusion.Why are you so blindly loyal to shows and creators that you will continue to sing their praises no matter how badly they fail?? -
I had lowball expectations for CAPRICA, but came away stunningly pleased and impressed. This show has the potential to be even better Science Fiction than the space opera BSG was. The funny thing is, if they do this right, the show will end with and maybe even depict the First Cylon War, which would be pretty frakkin awesome in itself.
-
I personally feel the series finale for BATTLESTAR was one of TV's finest, right up there with "ALL GOOD THINGS." Haters should stay away from CAPRICA though, more of that God "bullshit" that all the cool kids liked to slam involved here. The problem with those people is that to really appreciate great fiction, you have to be willing to open your mind to both the possibilties of science as well as religion. After all, how the hell does anyone really know which is the truth anyhow?

What show were the dicks who hate the "god" finale watching?
by hint_of_smegma
Claiming the "god" influence ruined the finale is asinine. "God" as feud ex machina was heavily pronounced all through the series, why it suddenly bothers you in the finale is beyond me. It was a fucking great end to a great show, personal taste is one thing but acting like a heavy and much used theme in the show suddenly arrived in the finale is beyond fucking stupid. BSG is above reproach. Superb. Caprica looks like a great show too, very different and that's what they intended so I honestly don't know what would please the haters here.
-
This looks deadly, and by that I mean "like the worst of the slobbering Edward James Olmos-centric BSG episodes." Ugh.
-
it was a bitch storm
Everyone was outraged.
Pretty much a universal *1st half was good, last half and the big reveal sucked*
It was the same on imdb forums
And god and gods were words used throughout the series
And other than a couple vague prophecy's everything had a technological explanation
But it really could have benifited from another season of wallowing in misery.
The Adama meltdowns could have gotten truly epic
He could have started smearing himself with his own feces, speaking in tongues. They could have introduced cannibalism
And a few dozen more *so say we all* speeches -
AND FUCK COCKSBROKENLEG
-
I really enjoyed the pilot, and fucking LOVED BSG, so I'll be watching it for sure, even if the trailer was terrible.
-
If they end the show with the first Cylon war, that would be frakking awesome. BTW, the Maxim with Grace and Tricia is HOT...enough said.

BSG finale - It wasn't even a christian god or anything
by david cloverfield
I would've hated that. It was some utterly alien intelligence that was obviously influencing the cycle of death and rebirth of civilizations. It was there from the beginning. Visions fitting prophecies, Sun exploding (!) according to prophecies, Starbuck coming back to life. There were no scientific explanations to those!
-
Was actually on par with "33." BTW, if SyFy wants to step up its game, it should definitely bring back "Lost Room." That can't be a terribly expensive show to produce, and apart from BSG it's the best reviewed thing they've aired in four years.
-
even the sexy teen was annoying because she was such an uppity know-it-all smart-ass bitch. i'll probably watch it anyway, but still...
-
It's sort of funny because Ron Moore already did the buildup-to-war thing with DEEP SPACE NINE. That entire saga was executed perfectly. With CAPRICA though, I get the feeling that is not what they want the show to be about. It wouldn't surprise me if the final episode leaves us hanging just as all hell is about to break loose.
-
See that's cool, just as long as they get to that point I'd be happy. But yeah, the show has a lot of promise IMHO, so I'm eagerly awaiting the shows release.
-
I thought the CAPRICA pilot was hugely mediocre and think this series trailer adds nothing to it. It looks like some WB movie of in-fighting among a rich family. Where's the sci-fi aspect anywhere in that trailer? Not a single image in the whole thing made me want to see it.
As for the BG ending...it was a slap in the face to fans. I mean, everyone is some kind of angel working for the one true God???? Kara ends up being an angel????
WTF?!?!
We watched the final episodes with friends of ours and all of us just stood up and threw our hands in the air asking WTF just happened! We could not believe what a slap in the face this was for fans. Unreal bad...personally, I'll never watch anything else BG-related. I've also heard The Plan is equally mediocre. Bummer! -
SyFy network, you are supposed to air Science fiction, not soap operas. And the BSG finale was great, until the last 35 minutes, then it was just lazy writing. Ronald Moore spends five years developing this mythology with all its intricacies and great characters, and then throws it all away when he pronounces that "God did it". Lazy, lazy, lazy. No resolution for the characters, no resolution for the plot. Just "God did it". Which means we were taken for a ride for nothing.
-
If Graystone hadn't invented Cylons there never would've been 2 Cylon wars. They never would've nuked the colonies, Adama & Co. would never have looked for Earth, Starbuck wouldn't have found this planet and we wouldn't be here typing this. God wanted us at our laptops!
