So, I rented Caprica from Netflix, and watched it last night. Not bad. They will have to edit heavily for TV, though. [spoiler]The nudity and simulated sex is net necessary to advance the story.[/spoiler] Lots of little setups for the series in 2010.
Seems there was quite a bit of conflict between the colonies. [spoiler]And a nascent mono-theistic movement.[/spoiler] The colonial goverment had to put down a revolt on one colony years before. [spoiler]The colony where the Adamas came to Caprica from.[/spoiler]
The Grayson family lives in what looks like the house Gaius Baltar lived in later. Grayson is working on a military combat robot, that needs an AI. [spoiler]He has one stolen from a competing colony.[/spoiler]
Once Grayson gets the the robot to work, he gives a name to the type. [spoiler]Cybernetic Life Node (close enough) or Cylon for short. Looks just like an early model toaster.[/spoiler]
So, if you need a BSG fix, this will have to hold you for a while.
