Caprica: The Battlestar Galactica Prequel Explained | Today's News: Our Take | 7/21/2008
"The end of humanity has a beginning."So goes the not-so-cheery tagline for Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel. The two-hour TV movie about the pre-apocalypse may or may not be a backdoor pilot to a new series, according to Sci Fi Channel's president, Dave Howe.Caprica stars Esai Morales as Joseph Adama (father of BSG's Admiral William Adama) and Eric Stoltz as Daniel Graystone, who meet when their daughters are killed in the same terrorist bombing.

Red Flag No. 74 that Cane is toast. Polly Walker, who in addition to a run on HBO's Rome appeared on CBS' ill-fated drama series, is the latest to join the cast of Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica prequel. On Caprica, which will premiere as a two-hour movie/backdoor series pilot, Walker will play Sister Clarice Willow, an eloquent (if duplicitous) high priestess and headmistress of a private religious school. — MWM read more be the first to leave a comment
