Whee. "Caprica" seems to be a wild mix between "BSG", "Skins" and the most violent aspects of William Gibson's novels. In short, it is the saga of two families in a slowly declining society (the fall as documented in the first few hours of "BSG) - not unlike Rome, or the world as it is now, if you are willing to make that jump. The great thing is that it was already well established how Caprica was the most decadent of the colonies, indicating that probably the idea of the center vs. the periphery is going to be an issue. About two seconds into the pilot, you also completely understand why it debuted on DVD and online download, not on TV (the series will start airing in 2010). Awesome. (Also, Jane Espenson is the showrunner.)
