The new Battlestar Galactica is, in my opinion, the single best television series in history. I know that sounds like an exaggeration (something which I am admittedly prone to when talking about film or TV), but I’m dead serious about this. And even though its only had 2 seasons, the producers have already announced that they are preparing to do a spin-off called “Caprica”
If I understand it all correctly, the show (Caprica) will take place about 30-50 years in the past, right at the time when the colonies first create the cylons. And of coarse the Battlestar Galactica itself will be there (Since it’s the oldest ship in the fleet)
Personally, I’m happy to hear this… although even I’ll admit it seems a bit early to be developing a spin-off show before the main show has even hit season 3. We’ll just see how this turns out.
