I just watched the pilot for Caprica and it is quite good though tonally very different from the Battlestar Galactica series, no hand held shaky camera work, and taking place 58 years before the fall we get a look at society that is on the brink of disaster. The show deals mainly in belief and loss and what lengths one would go to ease their pain. The story centers on two families; The Graystones and the Adams (they changed their name from Adama to fit in on Caprica). Daniel Graystone (Eric Stolz) is a billionaire scientist that has contracts with the military to develop a robot solider though his brilliant daughter Zoe (Alessandra Toreson) may be ahead of him in the world of computer intelligence, and then we have Joseph Adams (Esai Morales) who is a good man but also a mob lawyer. These two families meet over a tragedy that will change the face of the world as we see the birth of the Cylons.
The world of Caprica is depicted as a society that has reached it's "golden age" but is revealed to have a dark underbelly of dissent and anger that will spark the cycle that will lead to doom of humanity. This could turn out to be a very good drama and quite a departure from the action spaced space fair of the original series.

Has Caprica been released yet? I thought it wasn't coming out until next week.

I've been seeing ads for that everywhere the last week or so.
It looks reasonably interesting, though I don't have cable, so I'll probably have to rent it from Netflix or something.

The series is not supposed to be airing until 2010. I don't think they are showing it on TV yet until then. But I hear its getting really good reviews. The 1st season is supposed to be 20 episodes.
