I liked it.
Almost a year ago? Try October or thereabouts. And it's being reviewed now because this is a review of the new broadcast version that went out on Friday night for the premiere?
It's too bad the pilot was unwatchable for you. I loved it, gave me a lot to look forward to as it did others who aren't SF fans that I know.
I rather liked it, though there was something bothering me, and I finally figured out what it was. I know one's a fiction and the other is a dramatization of real events, but watching this was kind of like watching Tora Tora Tora: you know what's coming, and you can see each little point where it could be prevented, but you can't do anything but watch the oncoming disaster.
As always oko, don't know what hell you are talking about....Caprica aired friday night thus they reviewed it for everyone that hasn't seen it and your endless posts about BSG being over...really? When did that happen? No way! Get otta town! It's over??!?? Yes we all realize the obvious you keep pointing but please don't stop. In fact I'm sure in a few weeks you'll be posting endless blogs about how much the show sucks yet you will keep watching it.
Alright, I must admit, I never watched Battlestar. Didn't have SciFi, before that Syfy mess, and just never really had a chance to see it.
However, and for whatever reason, I decided to watch this Friday night. And I really liked. I liked it a lot. I know a few things about the series, and caught a few things but I went in almost completely fresh and still enjoyed it. Is religion that prevalent in BSG? Not that it bothered me I just really wasn't expecting it. I was a little confused about the two (?) planets and the different groups or people. I don't know if this'll be explained or if I'll have to do my own research.
Bit of a rant, but I thought that I'd share the opinion of a BSG newbie.
Loved it. Stoltz and Morales are excellent as is Torresani. When I compare it to other recent sci-fi shows I like....better than Stargate Universe and definitely better than V and Flash Forward combined.
Got to say though that I'm feeling a little Jake Lloyd with the kid playing Will Adama. I'll keep watching because it's good drama so far and because, just maybe, Tricia Helfer will make an appearance as a human.
Did I just say "Will" Adama? That's "Bill". Sorry. Wish I could edit these posts after the fact.
The Caprica pilot that was just aired on Friday was released on dvd on April 21, 2009. I think that's what Oko was talking about.
I saw it back then, and frankly I wasn't as wowed by it as other people were. In fact, as I write this, I have SciFi on right now and the Caprica pilot is playing and I'm still rather unimpressed by it. Then again, the last season of BSG didn't do much for me (except for a few episodes here and there), and the preachiness of the final episode really just turned me off completely.
I may tune in if there's nothing else on, but I'm not going out of my way to watch it.
I stopped and deleted it from my tivo after the 1st 15 mins. But to all those who like it enjoy! :)
I'm not sure why this is being reviewed now since it was available almost a year ago. Anyway, I know this show is supposed to deal with a lot of religious BS, but is that 'A' grade simply faith based? Is the logic here that, since the Galactica pilot was terrible but the show turned out great, making the Caprica pilot unwatchable will result in an even better series?
We need to accept that Galactica is over. There will be no sequels. What's more, its moment has passed so that even doing side stories like the awful "The Plan" won't really work. Prequels? Do prequels ever work? Maybe. The one thing a prequel can do is provide a new angle on a story you thought you knew that turns it all upside down. That is not going to happen in this series.
