The Battlestar Galactica and Caprica Discussion Thread

[Hush]

If Blood and Chrome fails, just drop the brand.

[Sawyer]

If Blood and Chrome fails

I wont allow that. :o

[BlackLantern]

If Blood and Chrome fails, just drop the brand.

Id be cool with that...but let's see the first war at least....they just wasted 2 years on Caprica that could have been spent telling that story

[Hush]

I agree but I mean BSG was awesome and a total rarity in television. It was a Scifi show that succeeded and didnt have the title Stargate or Star Trek, then it had philosophy in it, then it had violence and sex beyond that of what a Viewer expects from a show of this type. Caprica had the chance to captivate the audience and critics but didnt do so well enough. Now Blood and Chrome has the chance to ride in on a white horse and bring back what we know and love but if this fails too SyFy needs to know that they are kicking what was once a aging horse into a very painful death.

[Primal Slayer]

That sucks but I am kind of ok with it. It did its job of showing us life before the Cylon war and basically how everything got started. If they manage to wrap some things up by the finale then it would have made a nice mini event.

[Soapy]

That's terrible. I was really getting into it since it came back on.

Hopefully Blood and Chrome does alright, but it's really obnoxious how they're catering to fanboys who just want to see The War™.

[Posioned Bat]

I didn't watch the 1st half of the Capria season and proberly be luck to see a few episodes. I guess B and C has more prospect to it that SyFy would kick Caprica to the curb. If Caprica did have something going for it, it would have been showed near the finale.

[BlackLantern]

That's terrible. I was really getting into it since it came back on.

because thats important.....its what defines the show....Syfy just WASTED 2 years on Caprica because they were trying to be clever

[Primal Slayer]

Well its not only Capricas fault for it failing in ratings. They put it on a long hiatus and then just suddenly bring it back without telling people. I wouldnt have known it was back if not for this thread.

[Posioned Bat]

Ihard of Caprica being pushed earlier and being cancelled from Imdb's facebook updates. Plus the Blood & Chrone announcement.

[Soapy]

Yes. How dare they try and do something interesting and different with science fiction. :whatever:

[Ratcrawler]

I loved BSG but thought it was a pretty terrible science fiction show. Helluva drama though. I never caught Caprica.

[BlackLantern]

Yes. How dare they try and do something interesting and different with science fiction. :whatever:

different, yes....interesting, not so much

[Superfreak]

That's terrible. I was really getting into it since it came back on.

me too, especially last nights episode... it was awesome when Sam Adama walked into the Tauron Bar with the cylon prototype... awesome

This show hasn't even finished a full season yet... I wish they'd give it a chance. It's actually getting quite good.

It was a failure of the first bunch of episodes they released, things moved too slowly... but after the summer long break, everything is a step up. I hope there is a reconsideration.

[Bastila]

Sad to see it cacenlled, BSG was such an amazing show I love it, I do hope Blood and Chrome will be as good as BSG, Caprica was ok not great like BSG.

[Superfreak]

Sad to see it cacenlled, BSG was such an amazing show I love it, I do hope Blood and Chrome will be as good as BSG, Caprica was ok not great like BSG.

I think if Caprica had played out its first season in one shot, the audience would have been much happier. Also, it wasn't quite the genre of science fiction we are used to, or were expecting. Caprica was a first step in trying to make a science fiction drama.

I really hoped that it could have made it to a second season. I wasn't in love with the show or anything, but it was a solid show that lingered too much on the early character development.


I felt much like this when BSG season one was being played in the UK, the first airing. The season was interesting, and there was about 10 seconds of action per episode. I was actually getting a little bit bored... then Hand Of God happened. I was locked in from there. Still my all time favorite episode (it's the renewel of hope, after a most depressing first season up to that point, and the way Baltar looked up at the camera when he realizes he is the hand of god, that really sold the episode to me).

Caprica never got to 'that' point with me. There wasn't that pivotal episode where I say to myself: 'that was awesome'.

That being said, the last 3 episodes have been super interesting. Like the cylons are pretty much ready to go, and the conflict on Tauron, then the OTGers. Like there is this massive interplanetary plot that's starting to form... and they're cutting it off.

I hope they have the option to finish it off properly, so it can lead into B/C in a pleasing manner. Or option the Caprica cast to perform in a prologue for B/C that could explain the technological dark age, and how Zoe and Tamara, the OTGers, the resurrection program, and Greystone lead to the awakening of the Cylon intelligence.

Glad to see Universal wont be ****ing with the release date.

[Sawyer]

http://tv.ign.com/articles/113/1132214p1.html

I'd agree with all that. :up:

[Primal Slayer]

Agree aswell. Though I wouldnt mind if they stuck in some Caprica flashbacks when dealing with the Cylons. Be an easy way to close Caprica.

[BlackLantern]

f that....Caprica was a waste

see Cylon, shoot Cylon...thats all thats needed here

[Sawyer]

Damn you, BL....

[BlackLantern]

you know Im right

[Sawyer]

Somewhat, only because it didn't have the Park. :o

[Sawyer]

I just want to see Saul frakkin' Tigh again.

[BlackLantern]

they didn't meet till Bill was out of the fleet

[Sawyer]

I know, but I still want some Final Five action up in this *****.

[Eklypze]

I am upset beyond belief about Caprica. I noticed a last week that it wasn't set to record this coming Tuesday and ugh!!!! Im so pissed off now!!!! It was starting to get SOOO GOOOD!!! I wanted to see the STO training camp! And what all was going to happen with Zoe and Tamara in New Cap City. This is ********!!!!!

[Superfreak]

ok, so Caprica episodes are still coming out weekly. The last three have been unbelieveble. They are awesome.

Finally the interconnections are starting to pay off, and I can't believe that Scifi actually decided to cancel the show. They are morons. Had any one of the execs watched the series up to these last three episodes, they would have protested the cancellation without a doubt.




spoil a little beware:






simply put, with the Taurons running Greystone, they are selling cylons to the OTGers on the black market. Lacey somehow has an special control over all the standard issue battle droids, probably a left over trait from Zoe's possession of the prototype. Both Adama's have just discovered what the Tauron mob is doing and are about to raise hell. Meanwhile, Greystone has allied with the Adamas in hopes of bring down the mob, and Greystone and Wife have ventured off into the 're projected' version of NewCapCity.


it is fantastic how the story is starting to come together, just now, after they announced the cancellation. It actually really grinds my gears.

[Superfreak]

caprica totally deserves a second season now. I'm telling you that the execs at sci fi didn't even watch the closing arc of this season... they never would have cancelled.

[Superfreak]

so the season/series just had its finale, and I have to say that it all came together very nicely. There was about 5 minutes tacked on in the last episode, which wrapped up the story nicely. Honestly, Sci fi could have granted them 3-4 episodes just to wrap up the story nicely... as a sudden cancellation ending, I think they coped quite well with epilogue. Although forced, by necessity, had the series had a year or two more to develop, the conclusion presented in the epilogue would have been a fitting ending.




spoilers





Willy Adama, is not Bill Adama... we see him in the finale. Notice the blue eyes. This was a suprise, and also kind of a poor use of misdirection. This was the only real big suprise in the finale. Everything else was great, but because of the conclusive nature of the episode, there's nothing really to get excited about.


all I can say, is that with the time aloted, they managed to deliver a decent finale, to a show whose life was cut short before even begining to mature.

Personally I think Syfy should have told the producers right at the start they have 20 episodes to make a story and it ends there(the same deal with the new prequel they doing). People would more likely get into the series if they know there is a solid finish. Overall the final could have been better but at the same time given the circumstances it wasn't bad.

I thought in general the final 4 episodes before this were really good but sucks we didn't get any finish to the Lacy story beyond the 5 minute what will happen montage.

yeah, like that was interesting, but the idea hadn't been matured enough. But I could totally see that after another year, it wouldn't have felt as forced.

the last four or five episodes have been really great. Caprica should have gotten a couple of epis to wrap up.

one thing I really liked, is that Caprica ended in the same way that BSG did, with the montage of bots... bring me some Blood and Chrome now.

[Black Dynamite]

Wow after watching the last 5 mins i hope Caprica gets a mini series that links it with Bold and Chrome.

[Eklypze]

Have the last 5 eps aired on scifi? My dvr is still set to record em so if they have I dunno why they havent recorded. Im still so upset by the cancellation though

[SV Fan]

No they haven't aired on SyFy yet, but the Canadian station that shows them aired all 5. I think SyFy will air them early 2011(I could be wrong)

[Speedball]

I feel like the show deserves a three hour miniseries at the least, to wrap everything up. Or a five hour season that airs over the course of a week, like with Torchwood.

[Superfreak]

yeah, Space aired 'em already... the last arc was really great. Me thinks that Space channel got the right to air Caprica early, after scifi changed the SGU night... so that we poor Canadians have to wait til friday to see SGU... so in return we got the final arc of Caprica early. Tis fair atleast.

[Sawyer]

Given how rapidly Syfy is cancelling their ****, I really hope they pick up Blood and Chrome for a full season.

[BlackLantern]

oh, that's a good one....thanks....haven't laughed that hard since I read that online petition for Syfy to pick up 'Dollhouse'

[Sawyer]

:argh:

BL!!!!!!

[BlackLantern]

oh hush, you know Syfy wasted two years that should have been spent on Blood and Chrome with this BS show....

you know it, way deep down in your Grace Park loving heart

[Sawyer]

Those bastards had two Stargate shows running at the same time, they could've easily done the same with Caprica and B&C.

[Sawyer]

And Goddammit, if anyone but Bear McCreary scores Blood and Chrome, I will rage. I mean...
tkPeCiL5xho

Need I say more?

[BlackLantern]

I know he's doing 'The Walking Dead' and 'The Cape'....'The Cape' looks like baked ass so I hope that dies quick and he does do Blood and Chrome

[Sawyer]

If The Cape lasts more than a season, I'll be flabberghasted. End it, and then he'll be free.

[Sawyer]

http://blastr.com/2010/12/-concept-art-from-battles1s.php#4

The second and fourth image look pretty WTF-worthy, but I guess there are more Cylon models than what we've seen, so I'm not going to go too crazy over it just yet.

[Specter313]

The second one looks like it could be a pre-skinned Six or something.

[Soapy]

Posting them here for easier viewing.

I don't really have much to say about the first and last picture other than that cylon looks pretty much the same as the centurions from BSG except with different heads.

The second picture is interesting, she looks like she might be a Proto-Six or an early hybrid.

The third picture being so evocative of Hoth automatically makes it awesome, however giant "cylon dragons" isn't exactly the direction I want this series to go in.

It's unfortunate that none of the new cylon models feature the iconic cylon "eye" that scans back and forth.

[Sawyer]

Yeah, I have to second the "no cylon dragon". That would be a step in the wrong direction.

[Marvolo]

New concept art, kickass!!!:wow:

[Doc Ock]

Wow, that concept art is really cool. Blood and Chrome looks like it will be some awesome sci-fi.

[GhostPoet]

Concept art looks cool....like real sci-fi. But this will probably just be more whiney dark sci-drama.

[Doc Ock]

Concept art looks cool....like real sci-fi. But this will probably just be more whiney dark sci-drama.

You think so? I've heard Blood and Chrome will be more action based.

I hope so...I want to believe that.

People can't seem to handle anything that doesn't have explosions in it.

[GhostPoet]

I don't mind drama. Just not ALL drama. blah blah blah.

[Hush]

Looks great, wonder what that monster looking thing is in the third piece.

[Sgt.Pepper]

Nice looking concept art. Can't wait for Blood and Chrome. The plot sounds definitely interesting.

[Posioned Bat]

hmm, I well they'd be less sex that's for sure, question is, how much? I guess the semi-perfect six cylon in there means possibly a whole other sixies beening created and we'll be able to see that place somewhere. It is interesting seening the six there and the snow planet reminds me of the original BSG episode "The gun on ice planet zero".

[Soapy]

That can't be Six. I don't think the final five had found the cylons yet.

[Sawyer]

True. If this is taking place during the cylon war, it isn't her. The eight humanoid cylons only came into existence when the final five put a stop to the war by offering the centurions the humanoid models. It could be an attempt by the centurions to make their own humanoid model, though.

[Hush]

yeah we did see them experimenting with that stuff in Razor.

[BlackLantern]

I could see that....they were trying and failing, then the five showed up and showed them how to do it proper

[Speedball]

I could see that....they were trying and failing, then the five showed up and showed them how to do it proper

Could be a future version of Zoe. I'd be really disappointed if they just retcon the stuff that happens in Caprica.

[BlackLantern]

they could totally ignore Caprica and Id be fine with that

[Sawyer]

:argh:

[Speedball]

they could totally ignore Caprica and Id be fine with that

I just read what happens in the last five episodes that haven't aired in the US yet.
The William Adama in the show is killed off and the second son from another woman is named William Adama, and that's the Admiral in BSG. That all just seems so far-fetched and weird. Oh, and Zoe is but in a "skinjob" suit, so that could be here in the bot, with skin on it like a Terminator."

Eh. I dont mind it so much. Bill said as an adult that his mother was a woman named Evelyn, not Shannon. Also, given the kids age, if Willie Adama and Bill Adama were one and the same, Bill would've been in his seventies by the end of BSG. I just cant buy that. And I prefer to think of Bill Adama as being a badass mother****er from birth... Willie Adama? Not so much.
Here's the final scene that shows him...
eTZDqbVhBoM
He's got the blue eyes too.

[Posioned Bat]

Arr forgot that detail, looks like one of the six promo pictures around on Google, same-ish pose. Maybe they still put that attempt as a base for six and the final five modified it to be successful, though of course Cavil is the first one made, so this is completed later on.

[Superfreak]

the cylons on the colonies were already experimenting with biological stuff before the final five. So there could be some more advanced cylons that we haven't seen in this universe. early baseship Hybrids etc.


I hope they show us what happens to all the other robots. It seemed like at the end of caprica, one could buy a robot to do just about anything. So outside of the cylon combat droid, there may be any number of civilian use cylons models. Butler bots, cleaning bots, sexbots, etc. I wonder what happened to those?

I just hope the show is authentic, and that all the peices fit properly... none of this leave it to the interpretation of the audience bs.

[flickchick85]

Thanks for posting that video, Sawyer. I hadn't seen that, and it's fantastic. That had been written/filmed before cancellation right? Because I'm trying hard to understand the argument that the show was too slow or "took too long" - I mean, that's episode 18 of the 1st season. I'd say it got pretty damn far in such a short amount of time.

What really killed this show, imo, was 2 things: 1.) The unedited pilot. Now THAT was self-indulgent and dragged on too long before getting to a point. My fellow BSG-obsessed friend watched just over an hour of it before giving it up. It's a shame that SyFy let that thing float around for so long before actually starting the series. Which brings me to 2.) SyFy taking so long to air it. I can understand breaking up the seasons like that with something more suspense and action-oriented like BSG, but this was a quiet, contemplative show. Long hiatuses are NOT the way to hold people's interest in a show like that.

indeed, the cancellations on Scifi this year have nothing to do with the quality of the product, but with the way they were distributed. The blame should fall directly on syfy itself, not the production crew or cast.

[BlackLantern]

last 6 episodes of 'Caprica' air Tuesday starting at 6

[Eklypze]

DVR set!

[The Apocalypse]

Question..did they ever answer how Baltar survived the initial nuclear blast? I know 6 did something, but I don't remember them saying what.

[BlackLantern]

used her body as a shield, also his cabin wasn't in the main blast area so that kind of helped

[Sawyer]

Yeah, I think she mainly just protected him from debris.

[Marvolo]

God, this wait for Blood and Chrome sucks @$$!!! I'm ready to see Husker waste some frakkin toasters!

On a side not, I read this on the Chicago Tribune in the announcement for the show: "Before "Battlestar Galactica" ended, high-tech scans were made of all the show's sets, so that the special-effects team will be able to re-create them (possibly even in 3D).
"I've seen the virtual, 3D version of CIC ['Battlestar's' Combat Information Center] and it's pretty damn cool," Taylor said. " That worries me. I like real sets and I hope Syfy isn't going the "Sanctuary" route and making all the sets green screen digital creations. And this is TV do we really need 3D in this. Its every where you look now.

[Sawyer]

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Kecks-Exclusives-SyFys-1027352.aspx

Some casting info.

[TheVileOne]

Yeah the production values in Sanctuary are weak as crap unfortunately.

[The Apocalypse]

Yeah, I think she mainly just protected him from debris.

Ahh. Does make sense if you think about it.

aw53aTnD-YU&NR

:woot:

[Eklypze]

Finally finished Caprica and just WOW! I seriously think that I like Caprica as a whole better than BSG for real. It was just such a different and unique show. The stuff with Willie towards the end was weird but made sense. Im gonna miss this show so damn much its pitiful. This is almost as bad as Carnivale getting cancelled

Well, now, that's just absurd...

[Eklypze]

Dont get me wrong man I LOVE BSG, almost as much as I love Lost. Caprica was just sooo different man, there has NEVER been a science fiction series like it before. I just absolutely love how they portrayed the 12 colonies before the Cylons. With the Ha'La'Tha, the STO, V-world and New Cap City plus so much more. There wasn't one bit of this show I found boring or lacking in emotional resonance. I just loved it man. Im seriously sad that it is gone but it did have a damn good ending especially with that epilogue at the end. Just from that alone we could see that they had some damn intriguing stories to tell that they never gotta chance too

The epilouge did show that the show was just about to become the true prequel to Battlestar Galactica. I wonder if that was filmed after they learned about the cancellation, sure it said next season on Caprica, but Arrested Development always did that mainly as a f you to Fox.

[Doc Ock]

Well, now, that's just absurd...

I loved BSG, watched every single episode the day they aired, only TV show I've done that with besides maybe Stargate Atlantis. But I think I may of actually liked Caprica more than BSG. But time will tell I suppose as I rewatch BSG.

[Eklypze]

Knew I couldnt be the only one. Caprica was truly a one of a kind. I rewatched the finale earlier and just WOW! I loved it so much, and like I said things were just starting to pick up. Good job syfy cancel the 2 best things you got going for ya in Caprica and SGU. Yea lets leave drek like Warehouse 13 and Sanctuary and that atrocious Haven on its like WTF! Even though I watch Sanctuary and Haven, Sanctuart cuz Tesla and Druitt are dope and Haven just outta boredom. Eureka is actually good but damn nothing can compare to Caprica

[BlackLantern]

all of those shows you mentioned have better numbers

and Im not a fan of Warehouse 13 at all

[Sawyer]

I enjoyed Caprica just fine but there is no way it's better than BSG. :cmad:

[BlackLantern]

Haven got renewed quite quick as well....it was probably the cheapest among the new shows

[Soapy]

Does anyone know about when production will begin on the Blood and Chrome pilot and when it will air?

[Eklypze]

Sawyer, that's your opinion. Just sayin

[Superfreak]

I enjoyed Caprica just fine but there is no way it's better than BSG. :cmad:

I agree... but it also didn't have the time to mature. IMO, had caprica gone to season 2, it certainly would have rivalled BSG.

[Eklypze]

I agree wholeheartedly. If Caprica had kept going, as it should have, it would've become the single most revolutionary and innovative science fiction series in at least the past 20 years. That's a fact. You can't deny that the pre-cylon universe they created with Caprica is one of the most culturally rich fictional worlds ever on-screen. It's just such a damn shame that we didn't get to see more of the other 12 worlds and we just got a taste of Geminon and Tauron. Starz needs to pick this up instead of Torchwood if you ask me (not sure if thats true, just what Ive heard)

[Sawyer]

Will someone turn off that music?! :cmad:

Them there be fightin' words!:cmad::cmad::cmad:
But what are you not sure about being true?
Torchwood: Miracle Day has been pretty much fully casted already and is about to go into production. And since it's on Starz, it's going to be dark. I don't think Caprica needed to go dark, or at least darker than it already was. It could have moved to USA (which I could see it fitting on) or Bravo.

I think people avoid watching SyFy because it has this stigma about it showing crappy movies about amalgamated animals and just bad sci-fi films.

Young Bill Adama's been cast:'Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome' stars revealed: Here's the new Adama -- EXCLUSIVE
by James Hibberd

Who’s going to play young William Adama in Syfy’s highly anticipated Battlestar Galactica prequel Blood & Chrome?

Syfy has cast Luke Pasqualino (Skins — U.K.) as Adama. While Ben Cotton (Hellcats, Riese) is the other lead, playing Adama’s commanding officer.

First, here’s some official character descriptions that give you some new details about the show:
Pasqualino will star as the young, talented fighter pilot William Adama, a recent Academy graduate who finds himself assigned to the newest Battlestar in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica. Full of ambition and in pursuit of the intense action that the Cylon war promises, Adama quickly finds himself at odds with Coker (Cotton), the battle-weary officer to whom he reports. With 45 days left in his tour of duty, Coker desires an end to battle just as much as Adama craves the start of it. Though they clash at first, the two men forge an unlikely bond when a routine mission turns dangerous and becomes a pivotal one for the desperate fleet.

Blood & Chrome is set during the 10th year of the first Cylon war. The show will debut with a two-hour pilot on Syfy, executive produced by David Eick.

Here’s some cool Blood & Chrome concept art that hints at the look Syfy is going for.
