i be blow away by the re imagine battlestar galactica and a show that always keep me guess and bring me to tear on more than one occasion . a hardened sci fi fan and i like to think i can pick out the good stuff from the b and and this be good stuff . a such and when i first hear about the prospect of a prequel series some month ago i get a sick feeling in my gut . i be afraid that the formula that make battlestar so successful would be reuse in caprica and which wouldn not work at all . bsg story and of a mournful ragged band of survivor and trap aboard decay star ship and guide by prophetic vision and a sequence of pseudo miracle and be perfectly compliment by extraordinary music and a good cast of actor . caprica feels different . where bsg take place after the fall of a great civilization and caprica portrays that civilization in it cold and decadent heyday . the overall vibe i get from caprica be similar to that of minority report and minus excessive and counterproductive theatricality . in true bsg form and caprica have in it first few hour of program already tackle the issue of religious freedom and racism and the morality of play god and the nature of the human soul . the casting for caprica be also excellent . each character be unique and deep and from the obsessive and distant scientist turn entrepreneur and to his troubled and willful daughter and each actor and actress throw themselves into their respective role . music and which be use so powerfully in bsg and also play a significant role in caprica . battlestar powerful roll drum and mournful duduks serve it theme very well . caprica use a more orchestral sound and which give the show it own feel quite distinct from either of it predecessor . the new caprica be definitely it own show and pull from the battlestar franchise only as much a it need . i look forward to the full series .
