oh LET IT SPARK YOUR INTEREST. okay Caprica is difficult to put in a nutshell. it's a spin-off/prequel to BSG but it's entirely different at the same time. Battlestar started off with these 12 planets being nuked and utterly destroyed by the Cylons, a race of cybernetic beings that the humans themselves had created who then went against them a la Skynet. Caprica is set 50 years beforehand, on one of the 12 colonies - namely Caprica. (they're all named after the zodiac so there's Tauron, Picon, Aerelon etc etc ( ... )

part 2 of my essay. SORRY. if you read all this you have the patience of a saint. sancta_terra March 13 2010, 20:11:50 UTC
this is because Daniel finds out that Zoe made a virtual copy of herself (we don't yet quite know why!) that still exists, and this copy is more than your average avatar as it felt what happened to Zoe. Lacy's the only one who knows at first, and Daniel finds out and that's one of the starting points when Daniel tells Joseph this horrible idea - what if they could have their daughters back. Joseph's actually from Tauron, which is a bit of a hardcore gangster/mafia type place at times so that brings in that bit of influence there too. that's about the first bit of the pilot hah, it's pretty long but it's a good set-up to the utter awesome that comes after.

TL;DR it doesn't quite have a general identity, it's many awesome things rolled into one, and I wish it was simpler to explain. if you think you might like it you should give it a go but I wouldn't judge on the pilot alone as that's okay whereas the season itself has just been gripping.

have you some youtube:

& this trailer was one they showed in January after airing the pilot ( ... )
