We will end up finding that young Adama was caught making out with a battle-bot.

FYI: Caprica is still airing in Canada and the episodes are still showing up on bittorent sites. Episodes 14 and 15 are out and episode 16 will probably drop tomorrow.

Maybe SyFy canceled Caprica because it has nothing to do with hunting ghosts or professional wrestling.

Liked the cast (Polly Walker of Enchanted April fame is always great) but the plots were muddled but it lacks the suspense of BSF because we know what’s going to happen.

The problem with Caprica is that the plot was too often glacial, compared to BSG.

That new SyFy thing is really working out. They have two shows about knuckleheads traipsing through places looking for ghosts and other things that don’t exist, the CGI human-eating monster of the week and wrestling, but Caprica manages not to be able to find a level to remain in that august company of programming. Yeah, it’s really much better and different than when it was the Sci-Fi Channel.

Not enough sci-fi for me.

Maybe it would have fit more on the Lifetime Sy-Fy Network?

Had promise but the show just got slower and slower. Took me three days to watch the season premier because I kept getting bored and going to do something else.

Caprica had too much of the soap opera and not enough of the typical scifi action.

SyFy had been trying to attract more female viewers, and that is reflected in the ‘syfy-exclusive’ and made-for-syfy content.

I hope the next BSG spin-off does better.

So that’s why episode 14 & 15 are on the internet sites showing as ‘unknown’ for air dates.

It was getting very slow and boring - the first episodes were great but it just dragged out after that - but watching it on the net only took 42 minutes so I stuck with it...

Sci-fi? Just write something that shows Summer Glau beating the heck out of bad guys. That works...

I liked BSG and hated Caprica. BSG had *some of what lovers of the genre would refer to as “hard” science, and lots of action, while Caprica was a soap opera with magic.

*Sure, BSG also had lots of “and then a miracle happens,” but it was still SCIENCE fiction and SPACE travel, which go together like Burns and Allen, or Chocolate and Peanut Butter.

I never could get into the show for a couple of reasons:

1. I want a show that shows the space fleet in action, it was just a land-lubber soap opera.

2.The first cylon was a teenage girl with severe daddy-issues. How unoriginal can you get? I think Robot Chicken has spoofed this general plot device about 4 or 5 times, it’s a source of laughter and switching the channel.

I LOVED BSG. But the name change to SyFy, the name Caprica, the promo’s, etc.... lead me to believe it was going to be a Days of Our Space Lives soap/drama. It’s like they took everything that I liked about BSG and removed it for Caprica.

Sadly, there are very few shows for me anymore on SyFy.
