Caprica




Recently study has been taking up a lot of my time but when I wasn't in class or working on assignments I managed to watch the single season of Caprica.

I had been putting off watching the show as most of what I had heard about it was well to be frank pretty bad and I did see the pilot when it was first released on DVD and I thought that was for the most part slow and boring and I'd heard the came complaints levelled against the series.

As it turned out I rather liked the show, the fact that it wasn't full of action and space battles like it's parent show the recent Battlestar Galactica remake was a good thing as far as I am concerned, I understand why fans of Battlestar Galactica didn't embrace the show as it's so different but ultimately I think that's their loss.

I wonder if the series would have done better if Caprica wasn't a spin-off of another show, it would be interesting to see what the reaction would have been if Caprica had run for a few series and then the producers gave us Battlestar Galactica as a sequel.
