Help
if you are/were a BG fan, i believe you'll love caprica... i rented it the other day and imo the series is going to be even better than BG was, assuming the writing is up to the standards set forth in the movie... if you haven't rented caprica yet, i recommend it

Personally, about 20 times throughout Caprica I said to myself "Nobody would be doing this! They would be doing X or Y or Z." It is like they can't remember what they said 10 minutes before. They just learn of some fantastic technology and then something bad happens that you could fix with that technology but these supposed brilliant characters can't put 2 and 2 together. Billionaire computer genius gets some data that is super-important...has he ever heard of a FRAKKING BACKUP!?!?!?!
In short, I see no reason to believe this will be better than BG or even close.

Watched it last weekend (torrent download from Mininova) and it is not even close to BG. Stotlz is so-so and the girls are just...well...girlish. The story is shakey but that doesn't mean that it couldn't get better seeing the pedigree of the writers and producers. One can only hope.

well time will tell, maybe you two are right... it will be very difficult to beat the acting on BG, if possible at all.. but i completely disagree with your assessment, i thought the concept was brilliant

come to think of it, BG had a thin premise but they played it to the hilt
