The Sci Fi Channel just released its first trailer for Caprica, the prequel to Battlestar Galactica that shows the origins of the Cylons. The trailer shows glimpses of some of the issues the show will raise: about cyber consciousness versus "real" consciousness, and faith versus the randomness of the universe. But watching the trailer, I couldn't help wishing it was an original series from Ron Moore and company — one which picks up a lot of the ideas from BSG, but doesn't stagger under the baggage of tying in with it.
The story of a grieving father who tries to replace his dead daughter with a cybernetic organism — only to create a whole new form of life — is just bursting with potential and poignancy. And yet, I'm worried all of the stuff about the roots of the Adama family and other assorted BSG-related loose ends will drown it in clutter.
One of the comments made really makes me question the trailer - how can this cylon daughter be a skinjob if the first cylons were all centurions or robots??
there's an SG1 movie?
couldn't be better than the original with James Spader.
The Cylons had a plan, but they blew it when they failed to completely exterminate the human race with their sneak attack.
That's the gist of a just-announced two-hour Battlestar Galactica "special event," which will air in 2009 after the series' hotly anticipated final episodes.
The story will be set prior to the Cylon nuke attack that kicked off the re-imagined series, and will focus on Cylon Number One (aka the supercreepy Cavil, played by Dean Stockwell), resistance leader Sam Anders (Michael Trucco) and Chief Galen Tyrol (Aaron Douglas).
Those cast members have been confirmed, with more announcements due soon, according to the Sci Fi Channel press release.
Series star Edward James Olmos (who plays Adm. William Adama, pictured center) will direct the two-hour Galactica special, which will focus on the struggles of sleeper Cylons and human survivors on the Galactica and the rest of the ragtag fleet after the devastating Cylon blitz.
Galactica co-executive producer Jane Espenson will pen the script for the special, which is scheduled to begin shooting in Vancouver, British Columbia, at summer's end. Like 2007's Razor extended episode, the as-yet-unnamed movie-length special will be released quickly on DVD after it is aired. The final 10 Galactica episodes (some of them supersized) will air in 2009.
At last, they have come for me. I feel their lives, their destinies spilling out before me. The denial of the one true path, played out on a world not their own, will end soon enough. Soon there will be four, glorious in awakening, struggling with the knowledge of their true selves. The pain of revelation bringing new clarity. And in the midst of confusion, he will find her. Enemies brought together by impossible longing. Enemies now joined as one. The way forward at once unthinkable, yet inevitable. And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering. I can see them all. The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin. But in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know enmity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of one splintering into many. And then, they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of an angel. Not an end, but a beginning.
