It has been announced that Sci-fi has given the green light for “Caprica” to be made.

The series will be set 50 years before the events seen on Battlestar Galactica. The entire plot sounds interesting. So far details have revealed that the series will rotate around Joseph Adama, father of future Battlestar commander William Adama, and Daniel Graystone, a wealthy technologist and their respective families.

Graystone, riddled with grief over the death of his daughter creates a copy of her. The first Cylon to look like a human. The series will be kicked off with a 2 hour “movie” made for TV that sets up this plot.

From what I have read, it sounds like were going to see more details into how the 12 colonies worked. More court room scenes ahead. Maybe William Shatner can stop by and defend someone?

Production picks back up in 2009, series is expected to premiere in 2010. The question is, will it fly? Battlestar Galactica is an amazing show with a dynamic cast and the plot already laid out before the series aired. After all it is a remake that in so many ways became its own. Caprica is going to be a Family saga/drama, and covering things that happened before something we have already seen.

I can see myself enjoying the show, yet not. Since it sounds to me like more court room scenes are ahead I cringed. As interesting as it may have been to some to see these scenes, and I can understand that the goal was to show how the humans were trying to pull things together to resemble some form of society- it bored me. The only thing that I liked about the entire thing was the scene were Lee was being all hardcore lawyer man. Doing what he felt needed to be done and expose the President. I loved watching her smack him down by insisting he ask why, and then announce the reasoning behind her still taking chamalla.

If you don’t know what chamalla is. It’s a drug on the series used to treat cancer. The medical community doesn’t really approve of us. Not many people do, as side effects can include from hallucinations or prescient visions. Plus it doesn’t seem to really cure cancer.
