Caprica!

I love Science Fiction. Good Science Fiction. Unfortunately, it’s plagued by too much crap.

Skyprincess doesn’t care for it, so we end up watching TV in separate rooms. There are times she’ll watch a show just because I enjoy watching it and wants to spend the evening cuddling with me. Then there are times she’ll want to watch her shows, and I gratefully appreciate the out she gives in allowing me to escape to another room. I am not a Desperate Housewives watcher. I probably would be if I started watching it from the beginning, but I didn’t and I don’t have them desire to catch up on 2 seasons.

Then add to it my preference for bad Reality Shows. Not the more popular ones like Big Brother, The Great Race, Rock Star, So You Think You Can Dance, or Surviver. But the really bad ones like Celebrity Fit Club, American Idol, America’s Got Talent, Surreal Life, Flavour of Love, and lately Stan Lee’s Superhero one. Skyprincess hates anytime there is a new Reality TV show because she knows I’m going to be hooked. And its usually the ones on the cable channels, not the prime time network shows. She kidded me about watching my gay men fashion oriented reality show Project Runway on Wednesday. I love that show! I’m such a goober at times.

While doing my daily internet surf, which usually ends up with something really interesting. Some of which garner a blog post, I found that my favorite SciFi show is spinning off a prequel. Battle Star Galatica will be spinning off a prequel named Caprica. Here is a blurb on the new show.

Caprica, the new series set fifty years before the events depicted in the new Galactica series, will tell the story of the Twelve Colonies. Though the colonies are at peace, new high-technology will make it possible to merge artificial intelligence with robotics that ultimately shape the first living machines – the Cylons. Ultimately, the Cylons revolt and war with the colonists. The series will focus on two major families: the Adamas and the Graystones, and will feature corporate drama, high tech action and sexual politics.

I hope it turns out as well as the new take on BSG. I’ve had high hopes on sequels/spinoffs before. Crusades didn’t turn out that well. But then they didn’t really have time to build the storyline. I’m not crazy about Star Gate Atlantis. I’m giving it a try, though. I just hope this turns out good.
