Just finished the series, took about a month. Damn I enjoyed that. Was Caprica anywhere near as good?

No, not nearly. Since it's so short I'd say watch it if you're a completist, but you're not missing out on much if you skip it. It's not horrible, but it's substantially "smaller" in terms of scope, character, and plot than BSG. The characters and performances aren't as good. It doesn't really know what to do with itself or know what story it wants to tell in the early episodes, and never really has time to recover. It's substantially less engaging. But at 19 episodes, it's not that much of an investment.

Caprica seemed like it could have been good. In the end if felt like it got rushed to tie up the story before it got canceled.

Looks like I'll skip Caprica.

Definitely yes, but a totally different story. Several people mentioned it in the favorite one-season series thread.

Missing out big time IMO. If you look beyond the surface it's 10 times darker than the BSG series.

Caprica was never given the chance. It was slow and lacked the action sequences of BG-1, but was a worthy addition to the SciFi genre. It was killed before it ever really got the chance.

After SGU, it's the best SciFi series that wasn't given the opportunity it deserved...

It had potential but never reached it.

Looks like there's a movie in the works.

New 'Battlestar Galactica' movie will completely reimagine the sci-fi tale | The Verge

I just bought the entire Blu Ray collection.

Man, I miss that show. It really spoiled me on TV honestly, I've watched some shows that I really liked, House of Cards especially but nothing that grabbed me quite like BSG.

 

[Big_L]

I really liked The Sarah Conner Chronicles.

 

[kansast]

just have to like that serialized television. Deadwood, BSG, Stargate-Universe, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones.

I'm bumping this because I've been watching. About halfway through the 4th season and I've enjoyed the series quite a bit.
