Battlestar Galactica

By Annalee Newitz This Friday brings the first episode of Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica, a noir-scifi drama set on the planet Caprica 58 years before the cylons nuke it into oblivion. Based on the pilot, we think this series could become a classic.

I have guardedly high hopes for the series, but it's been a long time since the announcement of the show. I know SyFy has been promoting the show, but I haven't seen the buzz that I expected for the debut. I was expecting to see billboards and TV ads and personal appearances, but I have really onl...

Tonight marks the long awaited premiere of CAPRICA (9pm on SyFy). The BATTLESTAR GALACTICA prequel series is set in the ‘vibrant world of Caprica, a planet that resembles an optimistic view of what Earth might be like in the very near future, where an act of terrorism in the name of religion...

By Charlie Jane Anders One thing Caprica will have in common with its parent show, Battlestar Galactica: Gnarly, uncompromising characters who'll make choices you won't like. We talked to star Paula Malcomson and producer David Eick about the bad mother who birthed the Cylons.

By Tempo The use of "previouslies" has gotten pretty common in television. With the rise of serialized shows, even the most hardcore fan of a particular program might forget details that affect ongoing story lines. Hence many dramas begin with a "previously on ['Show X']" segment, which toward th...

By Annalee Newitz After watching the two-hour pilot (currently available on DVD) and first two episodes of Caprica, I was left feeling like I wanted this to be a brand-new series completely released from the Battlestar Galactica universe. The show's speculative worldbuilding is pyrotechic in its aweso...

By Alasdair Wilkins Battlestar Galactica, The Prisoner, Knight Rider, V — all these classic (and not so classic) shows have received 21st century updates. So it's really high time that the cheesiest, strangest, most metaphysical space opera of them all returned: Space: 1999!

By Charlie Jane Anders When the Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica hired Desperate Housewives veteran Kevin Murphy as a producer last month, we hoped for the best. But now Murphy is reportedly replacing BSG's Jane Espenson as Caprica's showrunner. How bad a sign is this?

By Tempo Caprica," which serves as a prequel to "Battlestar Galactica" and tells the story of the invention of the mechanized Cylons, "deals with our relationship to technology and the question of 'When is too much knowledge a bad thing?'

By Annalee Newitz My hope as we enter the homestretch is that show creators Ron Moore and David Eick conclude by exploring how Battlestar is ultimately about two groups' search for social justice - not about a sadistic little boy who blew up the world(s) because he's angry that his body isn't made of steel.

By Michael Hickerson Interview: This week, it’s a repeat of an earlier interview with “Battlestar Galactica” actress Katee Sackhoff. Katee talks about her creating the character of Kara “Starbuck” Thrace on the hit series and overcoming certain obstacles when she first got the role.

By Annalee Newitz As we learned over the past two episodes, Gaeta and Zarek's idea of justice is to separate the human fleet from the rebel cylons.

By Andrew Sci Fi Channel sent certain members of the media the last few episodes of “Battlestar Galactica’s” third season. And it’s my fervent hope that nobody, including me, spoils the major details of the end of the season for “Battlestar” fans.Having said that, we can now talk about Sunday’s epis...

I can't wait to see what' will be done with Six and Baltar. It's about time they got back on Galactica and off that eerie base ship. And is it just me, or is everyone else glad that we won't have to endure that awkward crib on the base ship visual anymore?
