[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

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
