[Cancelled] Caprica (Season 1)

[.Neo]

Good to know Citro?ns drive around on Caprica too, btw. (Y)

What are the ratings for the show? About two and a half minutes into the video that Rappy posted (see here), Alessanda Torresani said that if they don't get as many viewers as the season finale the show will be cancelled. And by season finale, she meant the finale for part one because season one is split into two parts (with 9 epsiodes each).

TBH, SyFy did it to themselves. They shelved the damn show for so long, that people forgot it was even still airing.

And they wonder why viewership is down...

I really can't stand it anymore: Looking from the sky down to Caprica City you have this semi-futuristic city, yet at street level they did absolutely nothing to even remotely mask the fact they're filming in some North American city. Hell, the cars they drive in say enough. The space flight capability, computer technology people have at home, robots etc. don't match at all with the vehicles and stuff you see on the streets. They did a poor job at masking those MacBook Pros as well. Compared to other current popular si-fi shows the special effects are pretty poor too. It's kind of ruining the show for me because I'm constantly reminded its fake.

Low budget.

It's not that they have a low budget, it's more the fact that they are simply a little bit ahead of us in technological advancement. Not everything is going to look futuristic. Even Battlestar Galactica had the same look to it, 58 years after the events of 'Caprica'.

I would bet that if you were to travel forward 100 years into the future, you would still be able to identify aspects of our current society.

Sure. In October 2110 you'll still see 1970s Citroëns driving around Amsterdam. Give me a break... When was the last time you saw 1910s cars still driving around your city? With that I mean actually being used for day-to-day tasks.

Next to that, my point isn't that you don't see cars flying around, my point is that the city at street level doesn't correspond with the city you see from the sky down (and on their television). At all. Also, we're on a city on a whole different planet. At least give us slightly the impression Apple, Citroën, Volkswagen etc. aren't Caprica-based as well. They should have masked stuff like that a little bit better. Mask the logos or whatever...

The logo's are advertisement they are being paid to show those!

Take the last episode of Bones, they were in a room with a bunch of monitors that all had the Windows logo on it.

I for one didn't know MS made flatscreen TV's. :whistle:

Question - What writing system was used by people in the BSG universe?

At least come up with a more futuristic looking car and slap a Citroën logo on that instead of using a car from the 70s.

As the second half of Syfy's Caprica motors along, a decision on whether the Battlestar Galactica spin-off series will continue into a second season looms near.

Syfy executive vice president Mark Stern recently told E! that they hope to make the call on Caprica: Season Two by no later than November 15, a little less than a month from now. Ratings of the new season one episodes airing every Tuesday night will likely affect the decision so tune in if you want Caprica to continue.

If Caprica does score a second season then showrunners Ron Moore and David Eick are more than ready. "We have a creative roadmap for the entire second season," they told E!. "We mapped it out in greater detail than we ever did in the BSG run."

As for the rest of this season, Moore and Eick promised the show will tie in more BSG mythology into the ongoing story and expand the role of Lacy (Magda Apanowicz). I'm personally waiting for the Cylons to end up in people's homes.

Anyone see Caprica last night?

Was Zoe's manifestation of herself supposed to be a head person similar to Baltar and Caprica-Six in 'Galactica'?

I doubt it very much. But then again, they did hint at it didn't they?

That's what I got from it. I'll have to go back and re-watch it this weekend, and have a closer look

another good episode but as mentioned in another thread the ratings were a series low so I think this series is sadly done for :(

to quote Caprica

"He must be returned to the soil."

I hope not. If it does, I'll be ****ed off. I'm tired of all the stupid **** on TV that doesn't get cancelled, and all the good stuff that does.

God only know we need more "Jersey Shore" pfft....

Caprica Cancelled!

Caprica is toast. Syfy has announced that the Battlestar Galactica prequel has been canceled.

“The remaining first run episodes of Caprica – airing Tuesdays at 10/9c – will be removed from the schedule as of next Tuesday, November 2,” said the network in a statement. “These final five episodes of the season will be re-scheduled to air at a to be announced time in the first quarter of 2011, and will conclude the run of the series.”

“We appreciate all the support that fans have shown for ‘Caprica’ and are very proud of the producers, cast, writers and the rest of the amazing team that has been committed to this fine series,“ said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Syfy and Co-Head of Content for Universal Cable Productions. “Unfortunately, despite its obvious quality, ‘Caprica’ has not been able to build the audience necessary to justify a second season.”

They are, just 2011. That isn't the issue, this is an awesome show. Give it more seasons!!

yeah its typical though of cancelled shows they are usually pulled and "burnt" off when they feel like it

[QuantumTrickery]

Not much of a shocker here. They were never going to get that kind of audience on SyFy. Scheduling certainly didn't help much either. Now I don't much care if they finish out the remaining episodes. Why have any interest in something with a dead end?

[Rappy Veteran]

Oh I am NOT happy!

it was coming sadly, next one could be SGU

[Cupcakes]

*sadface* I was almost caught up with Caprica too.

[DrewJW]

Oh ffs, it's not THAT BAD and also it seemed to be kicking off with the last episode....

It's all these short attention span eejits who need thousands of explosions a minute to be satisfied.

I actually really like Caprica.

If they take Caprica & SGU, I think I will have to die.
