BSG- Caprica news, spoilers, rumors

[Bromptonboy]

In the same way as they did for BSG, SyFy is releasing a podcast for Caprica. In the last one I heard, they put forward the idea that the show will have undergone a little bit of a change in direction since episode seven to give it a little more of a direction. Does this fit anyone's experience of recent episodes?

I does appear to be picking up a bit now.  I hope this change doesn't mean they are working without a full story arc plan - and are just making this up as they go along more or less.

I got caught up on the last 4 episodes over the weekend. Yeah, things have definitely picked up!

for all you twitter folks, Serge (the Graystone's butler robot or whatever he is) is twittering:

Some of it can be taken as minor spoilers so beware. I find it very entertaining. Not sure if it's official or just a fan.

I'm hopefully getting to Ep 8 tonight with 9 due to air tomorrow.

Isn't Serge the thing that looks more at home in a bowling alley than a private residence?

[billybob476]

Yeah kind of, but he's turning into my favorite character.

Not sure if this ahs been brought up but is the Graystone's dog the same dog from New Caprica in BSG? (I think his name was Jake)

[Feathers]

Don't know. I've seen both recently and they look close enough I guess. Were the digs credited do you think? Need to find the appropriate IMDB page!

Caprica coming back early, on Oct. 5, and we have a SNEAK PEEK

Syfy just announced that it's moving the premiere of season 1.5 of Caprica to October 5 at 10pm instead of the originally planned return in January 2011. This is good news for fans who were left hanging with mid-season finale cliffhanger back in March and were disappointed that the show would take so long to return.

The move will put Caprica on Tuesday nights following Stargate Universe and push back the premiere of the new season of Sanctuary to Friday, Oct. 15, at 10pm. Sanctuary will air on Fridays instead of Tuesdays as part of the shift.

Here's the full press release below.

   NEW YORK - September 9, 2010 - The highly anticipated return of Syfy's critically-acclaimed series Caprica will come even sooner than anticipated. The second half of season one will now premiere on Tuesday, October 5, 2010 at 10:00PM ET/PT, the channel announced today. Fans will no longer have to wait until January to watch the series exciting kick-off, as the citizens of Caprica deal with the chaotic aftermath of the mid-season finale's harrowing events.

   The second half of season one will transport us from stunningly vivid, twisted Virtual realities to the fascinating outer worlds of the 12 Colonies. Along the way, revolutionary tensions rise, family power shifts and our characters grapple with the physical and emotional consequences of their questionable decisions. As the season races towards its stunning conclusion, each episode lays the groundwork for the inevitable (and brutal) clash between the new Cylon race and its human creators.

   "Though we initially announced the January return of Caprica, we still had hopes of finding a way to get the series back on the air sooner," said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Syfy and Co-Head of Content for Universal Cable Productions. "We've been able to successfully re-work our schedule, and are thrilled to bring the show back during what is traditionally Syfy's most-watched time of the year. The outcome should also please fans who expressed their wishes for a shorter mid-season hiatus."

   Caprica stars Eric Stoltz (Daniel Graystone), Paula Malcomson (Amanda Graystone), Esai Morales (Joseph Adama), Polly Walker (Sister Clarice Willow), Alessandra Torresani (Zoe Graystone), Magda Apanowicz (Lacy) and Sasha Roiz (Sam Adama).

   Caprica will immediately follow new episodes of Stargate Universe (Tuesdays @ 9PM).

   The third season premiere of Sanctuary will now launch in its former timeslot on Friday, October 15 at 10:00PM ET/PT immediately following Friday Night Smackdown on Syfy at 8:00PM ET/PT.

   Produced by Universal Cable Productions, Caprica is a prequel to the award-winning series Battlestar Galactica, and is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. Jonas Pate serves as co-executive producer and director.

Was back on last night.  Anyone watch yet?

[X]

I saw it and loved what they did with the show. There was a lot of big changes in it.

[Rico]

Cool.  I'm going to try and watch it later today on www.hulu.com

[billybob476]

PVR'd it but I don't think I'll have time to watch till next week.

[moyer777]

I watched it, trying to like it.  I don't know.

[billybob476]

I guess the thing with Caprica is it is very much a drama first and a sci fi show second (even more so then Galactica was). If you aren't into that type of thing I can see why it might not appeal.

[moyer777]

yeah, I understand that completely.  I wanted more robots and tech.  Kind of tired of the whole virtual reality crap.  But that is me.
