Caprica Trailer-y Goodness


So you must follow
THIS link to io9, which has up the trailer for the next step in BSG goodness -- the trailer for CAPRICA, the prequel series to Battlestar Galactica, about the creation of Cylons.

I have to say, it looks pretty snazzy. I concur with io9's write-up on the whole thing -- which is to say, the further they stay away from BSG territory, the better the show can be. I already think it's a stretch that one of the two protagonists is Admiral Adama's father -- it reeks to me of "Star Wars-ism" -- that is, a gigantic universe that is conveniently really, really small and connected -- but the actors are great - Esai Morales as Joseph Adams, and Eric Stoltz (STOLTZ!) as Cylon creator Daniel Greystone - and as long as they keep the writing consistent, focused, and relevant, we could be in for quite a treat.
