Caprica: The Phantom Promise
The original Battlestar Galactica (BSG) was a corny knockoff of the original Star Wars, so it’s fitting that the new BSG is taking a page from George Lucas by developing a new show, Caprica, to tell the back story of the BSG universe.
Similar to Star Wars, Episode I, Caprica will be set 50 years before the current BSG.
According to Cynopsis, the people of this society are dealing with a technology breakthrough that marries artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot, a Cylon.
Thankfully, the BSG team tells better stories than Lucas does — so I’m looking forward to enjoying the new Caprica a bit more than Star Wars I, II, III.
