Learn Who Plays The Mother Of The First Cylon on CAPRICA!!

Any Deadwood alum... by flickchick85	May 6th, 2008 01:18:35 AM
is great casting as far as I'm concerned. All those folks were brilliant.
Should be interesting... by poeticwarriorII	May 6th, 2008 01:24:12 AM
I hope this isn't as utterly devoid of any levity at all like Battlestar.
Devoid of any levity? by RedwingsHoolihan	May 6th, 2008 01:46:00 AM
Baltar's fuckin' hilarious.
sometimes, dead is better by the podosphere	May 6th, 2008 01:46:55 AM
you knew someone had to say it
So it's Astro Boy then? by TheBigDogg	May 6th, 2008 02:20:20 AM
Did the daughter look like the Cylons from the original show? Poor unfortunate child. She would have been teased something rotten in school. Unless they are just retrofitting the history and making it up as they go along, worrying about the consequences later or never. But the BSG writers wouldn't do that, would they?
Did we learn nothing from Enterprise? ... by Shan	May 6th, 2008 02:35:04 AM
The problem with going backwards in time is that inevitably they can't help wrecking continuity more and more.
A science fiction soap opera by Jack Colby	May 6th, 2008 03:49:32 AM
Interesting, but quite a risky move! Will sci-fi geeks watch a real soap opera just because it's on another planet?
Lost by NudeandAroused	May 6th, 2008 04:30:28 AM
She was also in "lost" I believe. I think she played an "Other" who is shot.
By your command... by Alientoast	May 6th, 2008 06:13:04 AM
...cocksucka!!!
Sounds more like Craprica... by tonagan	May 6th, 2008 06:29:30 AM
Actually, it sounds interesting, I just wanted to get in on the ground floor with that joke.
lightning rarely strikes twice by palewook	May 6th, 2008 06:52:22 AM
and skiffys track record on successful series runs about 20%. Farscape, BSG, Eureka, and SG Atlantis. Anything else they created that didn't flop hard & fast? (SG1 and Tripping the Rift werent skiffy) Painkiller Jane, Flash Gordon, Tremors, First Wave, Black Scorpion, Lost Room, Good vs Evil etc.. where will Caprica fall..
Caprica sounds boring as hell by johnnyg korrupt	May 6th, 2008 06:56:07 AM
So Galactica with all it's action didn't have the ratings to continue ...but this boring piece of garbage gets picked up
Fuck Sci-Fi. by teethgnasher	May 6th, 2008 07:06:54 AM
I am done with SciFi AFTER BSG.
by badboymason	May 6th, 2008 08:30:47 AM
Weren't they shocked in BSG to discover the Cylons looked like humans now? ie - human cylons were a NEW thing. Making the first cylon look like a young girl is nonsensical - unless she is a very robot looking young girl. I would have preferred a more Asimov style take - creating robot slaves basically that are supposed to be mindless but are they? Instead of more "replicas of humans" stuff...
What Idiot greenlighted Craprica? by Barmat	May 6th, 2008 08:34:54 AM
This sounds like the worst series since Greenacres.
We really don't need this... by Lemming	May 6th, 2008 08:40:10 AM
I say this in every Caprica thread but it's still true. We need this like a fucking hole in the head.
stupid retcon crap by spidercoz	May 6th, 2008 08:56:04 AM
The original Battlestar origin of the Cylons was more interesting: created by a race of Lizard-folk whom they later destroyed. But noooooo, we don't get any aliens in this space-hopping sci-fi extravaganza, just ten more reasons every week why humanity deserves to die.
Yes, lizards would be better by snowpuff	May 6th, 2008 09:10:35 AM
Um, no. Just kidding. Spidercoz is on crack, I think.
Shut UP!! by kingben	May 6th, 2008 09:12:41 AM
you guys are the biggest bunch of bitchiest fanboys I have ever seen in my life. You guys go on every BSG talkback and rip it to shreds. BSG is a brilliant series that is layered, has great dialouge and plot and worth my time every week. If your going to bitch go somewhere else because us true fans want to talk about Galactica and read news about Galactica instead of listening to you whiners. FRACK!
I love BSG, but FUCK Sci-Fi by teethgnasher	May 6th, 2008 09:16:34 AM
BSG should have been on another network. Fuck Sci-Fi channel. That channel just plain sucks.
Milking the BSG cash cow... by Bill Clay	May 6th, 2008 09:37:39 AM
Sci-Fi is scrambling to find a BSG replacement now that the series is coming to an end. But a prequel? Didn't we learn our lesson about how shitty prequels are after Star Wars: Episode 1?
Go ahead ruin continuity. by Diagnostic	May 6th, 2008 09:41:00 AM
Really, just do it. It is already really convoluted anyway. I would just ask this not be a spaceship drama.
I don't get it. by I am the most horrible	May 6th, 2008 10:04:32 AM
Unless she's a secret from the rest of the population...then ends up being the hybrid or something.
So the final cylon is female, huh? by gruntybear	May 6th, 2008 10:08:03 AM
Interesting. Or am I misreading the "continuity" here?
TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN . . . Cylon by kabong	May 6th, 2008 10:29:16 AM
Does she go to Crapica High School?
Caprica 90210 by spidercoz	May 6th, 2008 10:34:39 AM

Not Spock's Mom's Daughter's Brain and Personality by YotzVonFrelnik	May 6th, 2008 10:43:46 AM

We won't see her beautiful breasts though. by Node32774	May 6th, 2008 10:46:08 AM
Such a waste.
50 years before... by Node32774	May 6th, 2008 10:47:15 AM
the original series? or the new one?
Let me know when somethin actually happens this season. by Iron-kong	May 6th, 2008 12:10:13 PM
Seriously, the last three episodes have been throwaways.
I always had a soft fuckin' spot for Trixie. by Al Swearengen	May 6th, 2008 12:11:37 PM
But she could be a loopy fuckin' cunt.
Jack Colby, Battlestar IS a soap opera. by Stereotypical Evil Archer	May 6th, 2008 12:28:58 PM
So Caprica wouldn't be breaking any new ground. If Battlestar was a sci fi action series then there should be action and battles in the stars (hence the title)every episode, but it's really just a character drama or "soap opera" or "space opera." Caprica will be a "planet opera."
The Script by Skip Divided	May 6th, 2008 12:29:53 PM
...isn't bad. It's not spectacular either... but one thing it sure is not is a soap opera. It's very much a drama set on a planet linked to the BSG universe. And the reason he is called Adams isn't anything to do with any Adama being a Cylon. Think about it - it's dead obvious.
kingben, you're an idiot. by Lemming	May 6th, 2008 12:30:10 PM
We are slagging off this prequel shit, not BSG which is of course, fantastic. Caprica is NOT the same as liking BSG.
One more thing... by Skip Divided	May 6th, 2008 12:36:09 PM
... it may be the first BSG related programme to use actual swearing. Frak is still ever present but this time we have 'shit' to add to the vocabulary as well. Not sure whether they'll alter that line by the time it hits the screen though. Also they might take some of the sex and drug references. Just a guess though.
So... by Embeedeuce	May 6th, 2008 01:01:13 PM
She's a Mother Fracker.
will there be robot sex? by turketron	May 6th, 2008 01:30:35 PM
Sex with a skinjob is cheating, I want to see somebody knocking those robot boots!
would you like some weak sauce to go with that? by namasteandgoodluck	May 6th, 2008 01:30:36 PM
I really used to love this show. It's too bad the writers and producers don't really care so much about it; they have no idea where they are going with the script (which is why it's coming to an end, I'm sure), poor production schedule and a shitty time slot (how many of you actually watch BSG when it's on? I catch it online...I have a life. You know, go out, drink, meet women and get laid...oh yeah, this is AICN so none of you get pussy, I'm sure) and it's on the worse channel ever. Thanks for another huge letdown, Sci-Fi network. If you ever want to turn it around, let me know and I'll show you how to dominate Nielsen households.
she was an Other by oisin5199	May 6th, 2008 01:53:47 PM
the one that Sun shot on the boat. I think she was John Stamos' ex on ER as well. And she's from Belfast!
If I never see another Prequel again... by RCFOM	May 6th, 2008 02:27:20 PM
it would be too soon. I am just sick of all this prequel crap. They are just not any good. I can't think of any prequel that I actually enjoyed.
But BSG Established... by DrEdwardMorbius	May 6th, 2008 02:33:43 PM
...that they were toasters before and only "evolved" themselves to look like humans during the time when humans did not see or hear from them, hence the suprise at the diplomatic sattelite in the first ep., so, that was wrong, eh? On another note, Summer Glau has played a teen whack-a-do with extraordinary powers, and a teen cyborg, so she's already got the chops...probably could just use some of the Term:TSCC footage...then again, I'd watch anything with Summer in it...
Another Terminator series? by gotham_night	May 6th, 2008 02:41:44 PM
Uh ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
re: namasteandgoodluck by Ultron ver 2.0	May 6th, 2008 02:57:35 PM
You got us! We like to bang our RealDolls and rub off to pics of Adrienne Barbeau, while you (aka Stallion) go out into the real world to lay pipe. Tool.
Groan by Trik_Ster	May 6th, 2008 02:58:20 PM
prequels suck
Caprica seasons by teethgnasher	May 6th, 2008 05:13:42 PM
Season one: 2009 ten episodes Season two: 2011 twelve episodes Season three: 2013 ten episodes I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Fuck Sci-Fi and it's production schedule.
Re:Lemming by kingben	May 6th, 2008 05:19:11 PM
Dude go to the Battlestar Galactica talkbacks and read all of the haters. And dont call me an idiot. Namecalling is not nice.

Just because... by Uroboros	May 6th, 2008 05:34:52 PM
..the scientist is trying to revive his dead daughter somehow doesn't mean the robot looks human. or that it even looks early Cylon. It's a robot..it can look like anything. My guess is that the whole point of this is is the ability to transfer human essence into the machine. or something along those lines. maybe it doesn't work, or perhaps it does and it's kept secret and all that we're left with are the beginnings of the original model Cylon. But the experiments come into play later when the human Cylons appear. Of course none of this would explain why there are models of human Cylons 4000(?) years before the events of Caprica. :)
Retcons have already started by snowpuff	May 6th, 2008 06:00:35 PM
Last week's episode of BSG the woman grieving over her families was complaining about the "corporations." She might as well have said "And coming soon, Caprica: The Movie on SciFi."
Cool, but... by the_arashikage	May 6th, 2008 06:04:39 PM
I would prefer to hear that she just signed on for the two Deadwood movies.
Roslin 08 by gotham_night	May 6th, 2008 06:11:03 PM
Cause she's more wacky than Bush
Sad Deadwood is Gone... by codymr	May 6th, 2008 06:48:29 PM
But, if HBO is not brining back DW, then a new BSG series works in my books.
Where's the BSG:Earth TVM???? by performingmonkey	May 6th, 2008 07:25:55 PM
Do you seriously think they can wrap up BSG in the remaining episodes? No way. They need a TVM bigger than Razor to do it. Give it to us, we'll LAP IT UP like a call girl on her first job.
BSG this year is the most confusing year by gotham_night	May 6th, 2008 07:29:33 PM
And it should be wrapping up stuff! Christ, the Baltar episode raised more questions than the entire third season.
Has the entire script leaked online? by Prof. Pop-Cult	May 6th, 2008 10:02:02 PM
I'd like to read it as part of my summer reading list.

No one must give a crapica about this show.

Mother Cylon will suck you good.
Prof Pop by Skip Divided	May 7th, 2008 02:22:47 AM
Yes, it has. Like I said, I've read it - it's good, not great. There's some wordy dialog which I think needs a polish but overall it will be an interesting pilot to watch.
Guest Starring the Battlestar Galactica ... by Shan	May 7th, 2008 03:05:59 AM
... Well it would be nice to see the ship appear at its commissioning ceremony in one scene at least.
I liked it better when it was called A.I. by ArcadianDS	May 7th, 2008 09:20:02 AM
but not too much better.
Watch... by ShadowVoyd	May 7th, 2008 06:09:25 PM
As they feverishly cast this proto-Cylon and hastily rewrite Galactica to make her the last of the Final Five. Marvel at the number of torches and pitchforks taken at the same time in response that asshat move. "We didn't retcon anything! She was always there! Please don't burn me."
