Interesting. I recommend Hot Dog for playing Adama.
Interesting thought though... How old is Will Adama in Caprica? If Adama is 'barely in his 20's' and the Cylon War has been going on for '10 years' Is Caprica doomed to one season? I hope not, the background has been facinating and we still have one major question unresolved: In a world of 'no aliens' why is the Caprican Military building war machines?
Plus, y'know, Caprica has a nice assortment of attractive actresses in it. (even if they aren't as hot as Grace Park. ;-))
By the way, thanks to your links, I have finally figured out where I had seen the actress playing Sister Clarice before. It had been bothering me to no end. Rome, of course. Which is another very good series by the way. :-)
OK I'm keen for this!
Just couldn't quite warm to Caprica, although I think it was a great effort.
The Twelve Colonies have been fighting amongst themselves for some time, some in civil wars and some fighting one another, which is why each colony has its own military.
CAPRICA is almost certainly toast. The last couple of episodes got 700,000 viewers, which is poor even on SyFy, about half of what BSG itself was getting in its final season (and even that was regarded as catastrophically low). The final decision will be made by 15 November. If CAPRICA returns, I suspect it will be 10 episodes purely to wrap up the show and fill a scheduling gap until BLOOD AND CHROME debuts in late 2011/early 2012.
As for the chronology, CAPRICA begins 58 years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies (in the BSG pilot mini-series). The First Cylon War begins 6 years later and lasts for 12 years, ending 40 years before the Fall.
So BLOOD AND CHROME begins 10 years into the war, which is 16 years after the events of CAPRICA Season 1 and 42 years before the BSG pilot movie.
I believe the idea is that Bill Adama is 10 in CAPRICA, will be 26 in BLOOD AND CHROME (not 'just into his twenties', that's just SyFy mucking up his age) and is about 68 when BSG itself begins and 72 when it finishes. Given the Colonials have longer lifespans than us and better medical facilities, that's not too much of a stretch.
Bleh. Why won't BSG die?
Though maybe this might have the potential to be good, if they can stay the hell away from all their creepy religious nonsense they've been stuffing into BSG and it's bad spin-off (first wacky space angels and then all this weird STO stuff).
Bleh. Why won't BSG die?
The lesson learned is that religious numpties are the source of many problems. I'm ok with a TV show illustrating that over and over.
