Episode 1 , season 1 which is titled : 33 shows in the very beginning.. Previously... on Battlestar Galactica . Is that from the Pilot episode? if so, what's it called?
It's dramatic, without being too dramatic, it's a tear jerker with comedy relief, it has you on the edge of your seat, and it's by far the best scifi series i've ever seen.

@heatemysoul I just watched the pilot for this and i have to say i found it so damn boring and tedious i fast forwarded through it. Cheap, low budget and utterly boring. Boring Battles would have been a better name. If the makers wanted to make something interesting on low budget they should have filmed all the actors having a crap on the toilet and left it at that really. Total dross.
@WorldTributes lol it does take time to get into the story! carry on watching, and u get dragged in. i pretty much had to force my mate to watch up to the second season thn she just fell in love!
@jacktheincredible01 In the past if a new series did not pretty much take off from the start it would never last for a second season anyway. Is the first season as bad as the pilot is? Star Trek they really flogged like a dead horse i noticed the Enterprise series was scrapped. Space 1999 is another series that could be revamped or made into a big budget film.
@WorldTributes yeah the first season is way better . . . the mini-series i have to admit is soooo slow! and thts coming from a uber fan(even started facebook group lol), thts only because its just about setting up characters, wen it comes to the Pegasus story arc in season 2 u will be hooked!
watch this . . . .
/watch?v=FIWU47jSA4w&feature=related
just to show how epic it does come! . . . though a warning the end of last season may be epic let dwn.
@jacktheincredible01 To be honest i don't think i can be bothered with it i am reading comments elsewhere that the series itself is no good. I am going to collect the original Battlestar Galactica on dvd instead. That is the real deal.
@AffonsoMorais Stargate. The BSG finale, much like the Lost one, just destroyed the series as a saga. 'God dunnit' is possibly the worst cop out from a science fiction writer imaginable.
That and they destroyed all of their technology and therefore removed any way of waring future generations of their mistakes like enslaving the Cylons, If you haven't read about and learned from history, you will repeat it.
Ya they did. Just like they did with Fire Fly they started frakin with the producers and decided that they didn't want a winning tv show. It was the producers and writers that saved the series. If you watch the last two seasons again that is why they seem rushed in the story line. They knew that Scifi was going to cancel the show and they only had so long to wrap it all up.
firefly? I'm assuming you mean the show by Joss Whedon? If that's the case, you should know that that was a Fox show. Fox cancelled it. Sci Fi only aired the unaired episodes. They had nothing to do with the production. So... SciFi didn't fraked it up :P
@reelstreetlight ...dude stfu, LOST??? really, cmon dont be brainless, yeh it was a great show but wayyyy to many plot holes to be crediable imo. should not be mentioned in same sentance as BSG.
Yeah but it's going to be based on the original series. Call me a bad fan but I was never that into BSG: TOS so I'm not sure if I'll be interested. Although Bryan Singer is a good director so, it may be good. :-/
He isnt that good of a director. I would prefer to see the BSG series people do the movie. Ronald D Moore for writer. The team that made the news series would do an awesome job I am sure.
What is the big fucking deal. I never gave it any thought. I just felt Bryan Singers super hero movies were rather cheezy and highly commercialized and dependent on special effects.
Danny Boyle is an amazing director, I bet he wouldve done a better job.
There is no big deal. I'm not starting a fight here. True, I was disappointed with Superman returns. And, I agree with your views on the film being cheezy.
Cylons were flawed creations, as Bill Adama said, but we are also flawed creations. The sins - flaws - of the fathers visited upon the sons ?
If we develop sentient or near sentient machines in the future, we'll pass some of our flaws to them. But they won't behave like the Cylons, Terminators, the robots in " I, Robot ", etc.
They'll do something WORSE - They'll get lawyers & start litigating !!!
I still think it's strange how they evolved from " toasters " to " skin jobs " in over 50 years. They must've used human genetic material & melded it with their electro - mechanical systems.
Just a thought... computers of today are the result of 50 years of human development (roughly). Imagine what advanced computers could come up with given 50 years :-) Oh and they can work a full 24 hour dat as well since they don't need sleep ;-)
Wheel of Time. History repeats itself. History works in circles. There is a cycle of events which takes as long as 3,000 years or 200,000 years for each cycle. Human civilization progresses to the point of creating life, and there is a big holocaust - Armageddon type war. Repeat. Eventually the correct events will occur for the wheel to be broken.
The news that Glen Larson is in talks with Universal Studios about making a Galactica feature film has fans excited.He said it will not be like this version of Ron Moore's.He will stick with the original format.
That is the one scene in the whole series that really hit me in a negative way. Although my opinion changed after hearing Tricia Helfer's take on it. She viewed the baby-strangling as a mercy killing. Saving it from the horrible nuclear death that would have killed it anyway. It would explain the sad look on her face after she did it.
That baby - strangling scene, as troubling as it was, gave the show more of a realistic, edgy feeling. Six could also act perfectly sane at times, or be a self - proclaimed " angel ", then act like a psycho w / Baltar. Makes me wonder if she had m.p.d. ( look it up )
Lol, I kid. It certainly seems like she has multiple personalities sometimes. Although that might be because there are so many different copies. It's hard to keep 'em straight sometimes. ;)
That seems about right. Six could have a strange perspective on things. 1 instance a sex goddess / nympho / literally a sex machine, then an " angel " of the Cylon God, then a secret agent or soldier type. Sometimes a psychotic who would slap Baltar around.
IDk if your saying the colonies are living on their own planet or not, but in the newer series they all resided on one planet, it was more realistic, any planet that can support human life would be very rare, and spread apart so wide that the attack on caprica wouldn't even affect the other planets if there is any, which there is not, colonies represented contanents basically, gemeni would be like what we call russia, sagitarin would be england or whoever, you get the picture!
Actually, no. They've already clarified that they had terraformed or semi-terraformed multiple planets in the same star system. Separate worlds, not separate continents. You even get views of some of them during the miniseries, series, and 'Razor':
Aerilon (seen in a photo, copies of which are seen on the wall seen in both Galactica and Colonial One)
Picon (seen in a flashback during Season 3, Episode 8 "Hero")
Scorpia: great view of the whole planet, (obviously not Caprica), in "Razor"
I don't think she was. I think she was just brought back to life to complete her destiny. When that was over, she "moved on." But she was a physical being that everyone could see and touch.
On the subject of the 13th cylon - I thought Gada was the 13th cylon (daniel).. remember when Gada told Baltar before his execution that he just hoped people realized who he was? And Ellen said that Daniel was an artist. Gada said he used to draw all the time. Am I onto something?..
nope, The Daniel is Daniel Thrace, Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's father. he was a musical artist that taught her how to play All Along the Watchtower on piano, which is the same song that unites the final five. This is proven when Helo givees starbuck the tape of her father's music. on the cover it says "Daniel Thrace" If Gaeta was a cylon he would have heard the music and wound up in the locker room with the other 5 at the end of season 3.
No, the tape did not say Daniel Thrace. And even if Gaeta was the 13th Cylon, Daniel, then he wouldn't have heard the music because he is not one of the Final Five, yet one of their creations. Starbuck is an angel of God and she crashed on Earth after she dove through the maelstrom then she came back as an angel because her role in the story wasn't fulfilled. Without her sacrifice they would've never found the original Earth of the Final Five, which in turn began their way to our Earth.
Oh and by the way, RDM officially announced that Daniel is not important and he's actually dead and not Kara's father as we all thought he was. He was killed by Cavil and that was it. I know. It sucks.
The cover of the tape says "Dreilide Thrace" not "Daniel Thrace." Plus, Ron Moore personally said that this was not true in his podcast for Islanded in a Stream of Stars.
Except Daniel Graystone was born years before the cylons were developed on the 12 colonies. The Final Five didn't even arrive at Earth until Daniel Graystone had invented the cylons, so how could he himself be one unless time travel is involved? I would be interested to hear a fleshed-out theory about this.
How do we KNOW anything?! Who would've figured Ellen was the 5th? And that Cavil was create in the image of her father? How do we know that ALL the five/six arrived after the initial War with the Centurions? Remember "all this happened before...and will happen again!" Skinjobs(spec. Cavil) have an ironic sense of humor(Ellen made him...he has sex with her...making him lit. a "motherfrakker"). How do we know he didn't keep one Daniel clone alive & wipe his memory thus ensuring the war?
Wait...so Cavil kept one Daniel (Graystone) alive, sent him down to Caprica so that Daniel could create the Centurions who would create Cavil? It's a never ending staircase. A paradox. "Caprica" literally takes place 50+ years before Cavil was even born. So how could Cavil create Daniel Graystone if Daniel Graystone indirectly created Cavil?
Does any of it really make sense? I mean the 13th tribe were original Cylons who held the secret of resurrection & colonized Earth. An Earth. Then they built their own Centurions who then proceeded to annihilate all but 5 of their Creators(who actually downloaded into new bodies.) And Ellen created Cavil(in the image of her father) & then Daniel. Sure she told Adama & the others it was after the war, but who's to say she was on the level? Plus, Cylons have a habit of recreating loved ones
GrahamNificent : Actually the storyline of Caprica takes place 50 years before the FIRST Cyclon war. The recent attack takes place 40 years after the ear ends. How long the war was, nobody knows, but you figure it has to take at least 10 years or more to build such giant ships. It takes that long to build Aircraft Carriers. You figure since the colonists were not fighting each other (that we are aware of), the only reason to build such items of war are for fighting the Cylons. T
But Bill Adama is portrayed as a child in the Caprica series. About 10 years old maybe. If you add fifty years to get to the first Cylon War, ten more years for the war to end, and then forty years for the Cylons to attack the colonies again, that would make Commander Adama about 110 years old at the time of the miniseries. I'm pretty sure its 50 years before the SECOND war, but I'll have to do some research. I gotta get this figured out :/
Exactly. So Caprica must take place 50 years before the MINISERIES. If it took place 50 years before the FIRST war, and the first war lasted 10 years, Adama would be 110 during the Miniseries. And he's not.
I'm telling you, 58 years before "the fall" is 58 years before the death of the colonies. Not the first war. Otherwise Adama would indeed be about 110 or 111 years old. The math isn't hard (11 + 58+10+40), and even the press releases about it (and interviews with Ron Moore for that matter) say that it is 58 years before the second war, meaning the miniseries.
no the name is coincerdental the series caprica came before the final five arrived at earth and long before the daniels were made and before Cavil was made tho cavil has the body of an old man he is no older then 40 the final five made them in their present form
The name is not coincidental. It is indeed William Adama who will later become Admiral Adama. And I looked up when Caprica takes place. It is 50 years "before the events of RDM's Galactica" meaning 50 years before the miniseries, not the first cylon war. And everything else you said I already know. All I am saying is that Daniel Greystone cannot be a cylon because he invented them.
i was refering to the name Daniel being coincidental not adama
-----
and so everyone knows the original Cylon was in fact a girl a copy of i beleive to be adam's dead sister (she looks human but was in fact an android the centurians came after as the cylon tec was more value being a weapon then a leasure toy
tapedog : Only the hybrids are saying, "all this happened before...and will happen again."
I think it is a reference to the current situation, the one that happened on the Cylon Earth, and on Kobol. It seems they were not too sure why they left there over 2000 years ago. So they are not sure, which leads to wonder why Capricans left their planet and settled on Earth (They left no records- following the story line)
Oh yeah, and bout "All of this has happened before, All of this will happen again"...it was first said by Leoben in Season 1's Flesh and Bone, not by a hybrid. The hybrids won't be revealed until Season 3 if I remember correctly.
the present hybrids were created by the final five the hybrid you saw on Razor was an original model tho the otehrs like hiom were deactivated as stated by Athena in the same film
aeonbrit :In this series all the 12 of Kobol are living on the same planet. In the original they all lived on different planets.
Who built the hybrids is not relevant. The point is that they were around long before the "skin jobs" and know what the story is better than most of the other models. As mentioned and known, only a few models knew who the original five were.
the first hybrid the one that appeared on razor was the first and only just came online as the war ended and was by a flawed and unrealistic model as it was built from humans (its parts were canoblised from humans) and as it was said the original hybrids were scrapped
really you need to really watch the series and read all the matirial on it i have so i know all there is too know on BSG :D
Caprica shared the same system with the other eleven the system had binary suns so it could easily have 12+ habital worlds
as you know all 12 worlds were nuked in the cylon attack
and the quarram of 12 is made up of a reprosentertive of each of the colonial worlds Caprica is often mentioned is because that was a capital world at the time
yea, it comes up pretty regularly on the show. Picon, geminon, tauron , caprica, sagittaron, thats all i can remember. Caprica was the capital planet and galactica was capricas flagship battlestar during the first war
yes there are 12 planets.. in different systems.. this even backed up by references in the show eg adimral cain talks about how pegasus was docked orbiting scorpion
correct she was made to replace the older one tho she is superior to the old one except that she is not cohearant she has all the abilities of the other 12 cylons (in otherwards she can download if her body dies)
Where the frak are these Viper scenes coming from?I didn`t see any of these scenes in the Miniseries.Or are that some scenes which hadn`t been finished at the time the trailer was released on SciFi?
Nope; from what I've heard, they're actually cut those out from the PS2 video game they made at the same time the miniseries came out that was based on the original series. Talk bout cheap.
Ummm, yeah, it is a SciFi channel promo...this is a promo that came as part of the promotions for the miniseries all the way back out in 2003 in prep for the premiere in December. I downloaded an original file of this when it first came out and found it on YouTube several months ago. I remember this promo well cause it was what interested me in the (mini)series in the first place...the only fake part are the Vipers shooting lasers, it's copied from the PS2 game released at the time.
1) No narrator. 2) The SCiFi logo keeps appearing and disappearing. 3) There is no intro narration, "Comning Soon" 4) There is animation from a PS2 game (there are no lasers in this BSG!), and finally there is no label in the shots that say "Coming December xx" or something similar.
I met Edwards James Olmos 8 years ago in Chicago at a Mexican-American event. I didn't even know it was him at the time! Anyway...this series looks good!
I have some good news and some bad news.The trailer was good,it's what I saw on TV that is the problem.If I was writing the new version of Galactica I would make a lot of big changes.Keep Baltar the way John Colicos played him,dump the Number 6 storyline,keep Boomer Tigh and Starbuck the way they were in the original.The same with the Cylons,and much more the way Glen Larson created it.I only watched three episodes of the new version and I am not a fan.I have the DVD of the old series (A+)
I agree with mjtopia, the new series is one of the best shows ever created, imo. It has an amazing story, with characters that are flawed and real. It's so well written that most of the time you're conflicted between the cylons and the humans.
If you are truly a fan of the original series, then it probably would take more than 3 episodes to adjust to the new one. You will grow to like it if you finish the first season.
Geez, has it REALLY been 9 years???

Yep. According to what I've heard about Caprica, the skin - jobs must have come

Wheel of Time. History repeats itself. History works in circles. There is a cycle of events which takes as long as 3,000 years or 200,000 years for each cycle. Human civilization progresses to the point of creating life, and there is a big holocaust - Armageddon type war. Repeat. Eventually the correct events will occur for the wheel to be broken.

They didn't include the scene where Caprica Six strangles the baby. That was CONTROVERSIAL, even for a " darker, edgier " BSG.
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
That is the one scene in the whole series that really hit me in a negative way. Although my opinion changed after hearing Tricia Helfer's take on it. She viewed the baby-strangling as a mercy killing. Saving it from the horrible nuclear death that would have killed it anyway. It would explain the sad look on her face after she did it.
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
That baby - strangling scene, as troubling as it was, gave the show more of a realistic, edgy feeling. Six could also act perfectly sane at times, or be a self - proclaimed " angel ", then act like a psycho w / Baltar. Makes me wonder if she had m.p.d. ( look it up )
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
Metropolitan police department?
Lol, I kid. It certainly seems like she has multiple personalities sometimes. Although that might be because there are so many different copies. It's hard to keep 'em straight sometimes. ;)
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
GrahaNificent:
Yeah, with " many copies " that are individuals - Six, Caprica Six, " Head Six ", Shelly Godfrey, & Gina - their might be some overlap.
When Sharon heard that she was a Cylon, she nearly had a breakdown. It got hard to tell the players without a SCORECARD !!!
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
My personal feelings on that scene is that the Six kills the baby to save him from suffering so in her mind it was an act of kindness...
Nanouk1234 2 years ago 4
That seems about right. Six could have a strange perspective on things. 1 instance a sex goddess / nympho / literally a sex machine, then an " angel " of the Cylon God, then a secret agent or soldier type. Sometimes a psychotic who would slap Baltar around.

WRONG in this series there are also 11 other colonies but caprica is the biggest and most important
BliebandRHYNO 2 years ago
IDk if your saying the colonies are living on their own planet or not, but in the newer series they all resided on one planet, it was more realistic, any planet that can support human life would be very rare, and spread apart so wide that the attack on caprica wouldn't even affect the other planets if there is any, which there is not, colonies represented contanents basically, gemeni would be like what we call russia, sagitarin would be england or whoever, you get the picture!
Replicatorz 2 years ago
Actually, no. They've already clarified that they had terraformed or semi-terraformed multiple planets in the same star system. Separate worlds, not separate continents. You even get views of some of them during the miniseries, series, and 'Razor':
Aerilon (seen in a photo, copies of which are seen on the wall seen in both Galactica and Colonial One)
Picon (seen in a flashback during Season 3, Episode 8 "Hero")
Scorpia: great view of the whole planet, (obviously not Caprica), in "Razor"

On the subject of the 13th cylon - I thought Gada was the 13th cylon (daniel).. remember when Gada told Baltar before his execution that he just hoped people realized who he was? And Ellen said that Daniel was an artist. Gada said he used to draw all the time. Am I onto something?..
Thaepheux 2 years ago
Nope.
Emoreallysucks 2 years ago
nope, The Daniel is Daniel Thrace, Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's father. he was a musical artist that taught her how to play All Along the Watchtower on piano, which is the same song that unites the final five. This is proven when Helo givees starbuck the tape of her father's music. on the cover it says "Daniel Thrace" If Gaeta was a cylon he would have heard the music and wound up in the locker room with the other 5 at the end of season 3.
Taintpaint 2 years ago
No, the tape did not say Daniel Thrace. And even if Gaeta was the 13th Cylon, Daniel, then he wouldn't have heard the music because he is not one of the Final Five, yet one of their creations. Starbuck is an angel of God and she crashed on Earth after she dove through the maelstrom then she came back as an angel because her role in the story wasn't fulfilled. Without her sacrifice they would've never found the original Earth of the Final Five, which in turn began their way to our Earth.
viridismonasteriense 2 years ago
Oh and by the way, RDM officially announced that Daniel is not important and he's actually dead and not Kara's father as we all thought he was. He was killed by Cavil and that was it. I know. It sucks.

The cover of the tape says "Dreilide Thrace" not "Daniel Thrace." Plus, Ron Moore personally said that this was not true in his podcast for Islanded in a Stream of Stars.
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
Daniel Graystone is the 13th Cylon...Think about it as you watch "Caprica".
tapedog 2 years ago
Except Daniel Graystone was born years before the cylons were developed on the 12 colonies. The Final Five didn't even arrive at Earth until Daniel Graystone had invented the cylons, so how could he himself be one unless time travel is involved? I would be interested to hear a fleshed-out theory about this.
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
How do we KNOW anything?! Who would've figured Ellen was the 5th? And that Cavil was create in the image of her father? How do we know that ALL the five/six arrived after the initial War with the Centurions? Remember "all this happened before...and will happen again!" Skinjobs(spec. Cavil) have an ironic sense of humor(Ellen made him...he has sex with her...making him lit. a "motherfrakker"). How do we know he didn't keep one Daniel clone alive & wipe his memory thus ensuring the war?
tapedog 2 years ago
Wait...so Cavil kept one Daniel (Graystone) alive, sent him down to Caprica so that Daniel could create the Centurions who would create Cavil? It's a never ending staircase. A paradox. "Caprica" literally takes place 50+ years before Cavil was even born. So how could Cavil create Daniel Graystone if Daniel Graystone indirectly created Cavil?
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
Does any of it really make sense? I mean the 13th tribe were original Cylons who held the secret of resurrection & colonized Earth. An Earth. Then they built their own Centurions who then proceeded to annihilate all but 5 of their Creators(who actually downloaded into new bodies.) And Ellen created Cavil(in the image of her father) & then Daniel. Sure she told Adama & the others it was after the war, but who's to say she was on the level? Plus, Cylons have a habit of recreating loved ones
tapedog 2 years ago
GrahamNificent : Actually the storyline of Caprica takes place 50 years before the FIRST Cyclon war. The recent attack takes place 40 years after the ear ends. How long the war was, nobody knows, but you figure it has to take at least 10 years or more to build such giant ships. It takes that long to build Aircraft Carriers. You figure since the colonists were not fighting each other (that we are aware of), the only reason to build such items of war are for fighting the Cylons. T
trentcreek 2 years ago
But Bill Adama is portrayed as a child in the Caprica series. About 10 years old maybe. If you add fifty years to get to the first Cylon War, ten more years for the war to end, and then forty years for the Cylons to attack the colonies again, that would make Commander Adama about 110 years old at the time of the miniseries. I'm pretty sure its 50 years before the SECOND war, but I'll have to do some research. I gotta get this figured out :/
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
He only fought in the last day of the war. He was probably about 20/21. 40 years later he would be in his early 60's
CaptScott 2 years ago
Exactly. So Caprica must take place 50 years before the MINISERIES. If it took place 50 years before the FIRST war, and the first war lasted 10 years, Adama would be 110 during the Miniseries. And he's not.
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
No, It's 58 years before the first war, And Adama would not be that old..
saitoghost 2 years ago
I'm telling you, 58 years before "the fall" is 58 years before the death of the colonies. Not the first war. Otherwise Adama would indeed be about 110 or 111 years old. The math isn't hard (11 + 58+10+40), and even the press releases about it (and interviews with Ron Moore for that matter) say that it is 58 years before the second war, meaning the miniseries.
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
Doesn't bother me. *shrugs*
saitoghost 2 years ago
no the name is coincerdental the series caprica came before the final five arrived at earth and long before the daniels were made and before Cavil was made tho cavil has the body of an old man he is no older then 40 the final five made them in their present form
aeonbrit 2 years ago
The name is not coincidental. It is indeed William Adama who will later become Admiral Adama. And I looked up when Caprica takes place. It is 50 years "before the events of RDM's Galactica" meaning 50 years before the miniseries, not the first cylon war. And everything else you said I already know. All I am saying is that Daniel Greystone cannot be a cylon because he invented them.
GrahamNificent 2 years ago
i was refering to the name Daniel being coincidental not adama

and so everyone knows the original Cylon was in fact a girl a copy of i beleive to be adam's dead sister (she looks human but was in fact an android the centurians came after as the cylon tec was more value being a weapon then a leasure toy

tapedog : Only the hybrids are saying, "all this happened before...and will happen again."
I think it is a reference to the current situation, the one that happened on the Cylon Earth, and on Kobol. It seems they were not too sure why they left there over 2000 years ago. So they are not sure, which leads to wonder why Capricans left their planet and settled on Earth (They left no records- following the story line)
trentcreek 2 years ago
Oh yeah, and bout "All of this has happened before, All of this will happen again"...it was first said by Leoben in Season 1's Flesh and Bone, not by a hybrid. The hybrids won't be revealed until Season 3 if I remember correctly.
fmlagares 2 years ago
Yes, but there hybrids were around a lot longer than the "skin jobs" so they knew the 5 old Cylons long before the others came into being.
Thus they would know what is going on a lot better as evident some of the models did not even know who the 5 were.
trentcreek 2 years ago
not quite true
the present hybrids were created by the final five the hybrid you saw on Razor was an original model tho the otehrs like hiom were deactivated as stated by Athena in the same film
btw the hybrids number designation is Zero ;)

aeonbrit :In this series all the 12 of Kobol are living on the same planet. In the original they all lived on different planets.
Who built the hybrids is not relevant. The point is that they were around long before the "skin jobs" and know what the story is better than most of the other models. As mentioned and known, only a few models knew who the original five were.

the first hybrid the one that appeared on razor was the first and only just came online as the war ended and was by a flawed and unrealistic model as it was built from humans (its parts were canoblised from humans) and as it was said the original hybrids were scrapped

aeonbrit 2 years ago
Quote: "youi mean colonials as Caprica was only one of 12 human worlds and their were survivors from all 12 "
So where are the other 11 worlds?
The older hybrid you saw on Razor is an original. The 5 made the newer female version. You saw how happy they were when they were around.
trentcreek 2 years ago
Caprica shared the same system with the other eleven the system had binary suns so it could easily have 12+ habital worlds
as you know all 12 worlds were nuked in the cylon attack
and the quarram of 12 is made up of a reprosentertive of each of the colonial worlds Caprica is often mentioned is because that was a capital world at the time

Ummm, yeah, it is a SciFi channel promo...this is a promo that came as part of the promotions for the miniseries all the way back out in 2003 in prep for the premiere in December. I downloaded an original file of this when it first came out and found it on YouTube several months ago. I remember this promo well cause it was what interested me in the (mini)series in the first place...the only fake part are the Vipers shooting lasers, it's copied from the PS2 game released at the time.
fmlagares 2 years ago
I don't think so for the following reasons:
1) No narrator. 2) The SCiFi logo keeps appearing and disappearing. 3) There is no intro narration, "Comning Soon" 4) There is animation from a PS2 game (there are no lasers in this BSG!), and finally there is no label in the shots that say "Coming December xx" or something similar.

But there was actually 13 cylons instead of 12 that they didn't mention.
But the 13th was named Daniel and he was termonated long before the cylon war so they don't mintion him.
But Hellen used to love Daniel. :)
