Battlestar Galactica spin-off series!

April 26, 2006

It has been revealed that the Sci-Fi channel will produce a prequel to the wildly successful Battlestar Galactica, set 50 years prior to the current series at the time when the humans of the Twelve Colonies are about to make a breakthrough with the first Cylon. The new series is to be called “Caprica” and will feature the Adama family — ancestors of Lee and William Adama on the current show. This is an incredible development, and I would be skeptical of its success — spinoffs can dilute a television series — except that it’s being executive produced by Ron Moore and David Eick, the same guys at the helm of Battlestar Galactica. There’s no word on it yet, but I fully expect “Caprica” to feature the first Cylon War. This could be an incredbily cool look at how it all began.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Battlestar Galactica is the best show on television (Time Magazine thinks so too!). If you haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to at least see the miniseries (which you can rent at the video store).
