Caprica's problem is that being a prequel, everyone knows how it turns out. Everything in it is predictable because of this.
We now know why cylons believe in one god; soldiers of the one
We already knew why cylons were created; to do the work humans didnt want to
We can summise why cylons took on human form; the avatars of the dead children.
We already knew why the cylons turned against humans; humans believed in many gods and we can now summise humans thought 'soldiers of the one' were terrorists.
At best, Caprica should have been a 4 hour mini series. At worst, it'll probably run for at least two, 22 episode seasons.

So so. Nothing mind boggling, and not as good as BSG, but I don't come away thinking I have wasted the hour.Last edited by OrangeHopper; 5 March 2010, 13:44.

I'm quite enjoying it too. Schoolgirls, virtual reality, gangsters, reglious cults and robots all in one series. What could be wrong with that?
The title sequence is cringeworthy though.

Plus they have the worst picture quality of any Sky channel.

That is one of the few reasons in which I can accept remakes or updated versions of older stuff, particularly if the original was b/w. Providing the effects aren't merely the only reason they did the new version, such as the War of the Worlds remake, which if you ignored the effects it was a very poor imitiation of the original.
Besides, in the new BSG I remember seeing a segment where it looked like the viper craft were floating in space, not moving as they were supposedly doing. So the effects weren't all that hot.

I use torrent and download all the US stuff and iPlayer etc for UK material.

Originally posted by norrahe View PostI would agree, they simply took the concept of the original and worked on it a bit.
I do approach remakes with a touch a of cynicism.
V has still while to go it hasn't started off well and hasn't benefitted from a long break. i'm still preferring the original.

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI agree with you completely, but BSG is one of the very few that really did work and added something different and original. It's like Joe Cocker's version of "Little help from my friends" - it's essentially a new song, not a cover version.
