Caprica - CANCELED

episodes pulled from schedule. They're going to air the remaining episodes next year sometime.

however, SyFy recently greenlit a BSG movie that is based around a 20-something Adama.

I just twittered about this. Am I surprised? no. Am I sad, a bit. Mainly due to the fact Caprica and I guess Warehouse 13 is all SyFy's got (sorry Stargate, Sanctuary, Eureka, and Haven fans). And the truth be, it was OKAY, but I was into the show more in the hope it would get better over time. BSG did anyway. But I can't be surprised given it is SyFy and they seem to be run in the same way their parent network is, NBC.

Now if the guy running USA Network were involved, I'd be more surprised.

What will replace it? as I posted on the comments section over on that tvbtn story, perhaps Caprica's James Marsters new show Three Inches about a group of Superheros, Marsters playing the lead who can move objects with his mind, but only 3 inches, lol. Rather Pushing Daisies-like (or The Tick perhaps?).

Otherwise, the status of something Bryan Fuller has talked about working with SyFy hopefully will be announced. "Sellevision" or something else.

edit: someone posted something about Fuller doing a remake of The Munsters which I would certainly be curious about.

but as for the BSG universe..we have the rest of those episodes to be burned off sometime in 2011, and then the Will Adama in his 20's movie. I suppose it's better than the whole thing going bye bye already.

I hope Alessandra Torresani and Magda Apanowicz namely go onto other, better things. I feel bad for Magda especially given that's twice in recent years (Kyle XY) her CABLE-based show got canceled before it could end it's story.

Caprica: Midseason

This is something I wrote one day after work soon after the midseason finale.





The 1st season (or 1/2 season) of this show has been maybe as good if not better than I expected. It is a prequel series, but not being done in such an
obvious way. Connecting the dots so predictably and melodramatically as other ineffective prequels have been done. It is not really BSG -1.0. But at the same time, telling the origin of a mechanical or artificial lifeform, can be interesting, if they avoid cheese. Everything with the holo technology and avatars being alive; and how the 1st cylon found it's way out of the v-world. And being the avatar of the daughter of the co's ceo.

I think the girl who plays Zoe (Alessandra Torresani) is probably the most interesting part of the show, which they cast the right actor to play her. She's both beautiful yet compelling. They are selling, like BSG did, the (AI) Cylon-sympathy.

So now how they're going to tell what she does at Gemenon could be interesting. What is in Gemenon? some scientists working on synthesized bodies? More of how the human Zoe was so brilliant to create a seemingly real copy of herself in the v-world? And what is both James Marsters and the head mistress's relationship to whoever she needs to see at Gemenon. I sense whoever it is, we will learn more of what the human Zoe was going there for, and for good reasons why.

Of course the plot with Daniel Graystone and Vergis keeps heating up. And is Amanda dead? I suppose it could go either way, and it may depend on if the actress decided she wants to continue on the show.

We'll see. Merlin takes over Caprica's timeslot this coming Friday and I imagine it will be on for a number of months. Stargate Universe (blech) , Warehouse 13 (yay!), Eureka (blech) or that Amanda Tapping Sanctuary show may also be aired there. But it's supposed to return for the 2nd half of the 1st season next late Summer/early Fall.
