What's next - CSI: Caprica? I hope this doesn't water down the best show on TV...
Hey, is Richard Dean Anderson or Scott Bakula available? What about Bruce Boxleitner? Maybe John Stamos wants to take a stab at it?
Sounds like a career jump-starting show to me!
Sci-fi seems big on making multiple spinoffs of shows IE: Stargate
More Info ...
Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better.
But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot: a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica), Caprica will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.
I just threw up in my mouth. Honestly now, why not just do Firefly?
Law and Order: Special Cyborg Unit would be better than this...
Nothing says "sexual politics" to me like a first-generation cylon. Oh, that eye bouncing back and forth is making me so hot!
Hey, look! Now my spine is glowing red!
