[Cancelled] Caprica (Season 1)


Recommended Posts

I just watched it and must say it's gonna be great. I will not spoil it for people.

except - for the boys in the audience there is plenty of topless girls in the nightclub.

good show, love how caprica is still vancouver BC (where it's filmed) a lot of the scenes made it obvious where the movie was being filmed if you know the city. It was kinda slow and confusing at the start but got really good at interesting as it went on.

I enjoyed it quite a lot, but im interested to see how they are gonna weave the plots into the BSG history that we know.

The only thing that gets me, is that 58 years doesn't *feel* like long enough between them inventing (reinventing) the first cylon, the first cylon civil war and the fall. Or is that just me?

I just finished watching the pilot episode of Caprica! The show gave me an insight to the origins of the Cylon. Anyhow, I made a couple of videos from a number of scenes from the pilot episode and mixed it in with a few songs from the BSG sound track.

The first video is my intro to the Caprica show inspired by the BSG Cylon prologue of each BSG episode. The second video is represents the Cylon's first act of evil.

Check out the videos over at my blog:

I'm still planning to create a couple more videos from the pilot episode. Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks! =)

Well well well...

That was fun, and plants a lot more than the vague seeds I was expecting.

A few things I liked:

The building where the Cylons were developed was a pentagon shape - the original Cylon symbol

Explains where the idea of 1 true God comes from in Cylon culture

Certainly showed the animosity between the colonies

"By your command"

That's not mod-like. ;)

What do you mean? I was stating that there's essentially one way for anyone here who has commented on it to have seen it. I never said that I was of that group. This show doesn't interest me in the slightest, so why waste my time illegally getting it?

Yeah I loved that quote :D

Also when she said "Cylons...Interesting" if only she knew what the future holds!

Young William Adama as well that was so awesome to see!

I think this series is going to be different but really awesome.

So now comes the theorizing!!!

I'll spoiler tag is since it hasn't actually aired on TV yet and not everyone has seen the DVD yet... or other forms.

My theory...

I think Cavil (from BSG) is behind it all.

Since we know the original "final five" have been around for a VERY long time (what was it, 2000 years?) the 2nd gen Cylons like Cavil/Six etc... could have been around a while too. Cavil is older looking, so he could have been around during the time frame of Caprica. I don't think they ever said at what age Cavil wiped the final five's memories and planted them on the 12 colonies. Saul Tigh knew Adama at a fairly young age, so its possible Cavil planted them on the planets as early as when Caprica takes place.

So my guess it how it went is Cavil took over, wiped and planted the final five on the 12 colonies. Found out about the R&D some companies were doing in robotics, like Greystone's. He created the terrorist cult, and used the school principal to recruit Zoe Greystone (the daughter) and the whole bomb on the train was orchestrated to kill Zoe so that Daniel Greystone would push even harder to create robotics, since he could basically resurrect his daughter. Then Cavil, using the cult could then turn the Cylons against humanity and to be his personal army.

Notice at one point the school principal says to Zoe's friends that Zoe is important to them. So obviously someone is behind it and it would make perfect sense to be Cavil.

hum, your timeline is all wrong..the final 5 found the cylons after the 1st war, created more skin jobs, which i believe cavil was the first. this is well after caprica

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
