It's REALLY early - but I would love to see the prequel 'Caprica'. We'd get so much insight into how and why the cylons were created in the first place. I just hope that RDM and David Eick produce. We certainly don't need any shoddy BSG! Smiling

1/20 - There are a few more news stories cropping up on this - TV Squad has a blurb and also points to an 'Ain't it Cool' article. Looks like the concern now is script quality since no one will be available to do re-writes.

If you're looking for background on what Caprica could be about - check out this explanation on Wikipedia. It sounds pretty interesting, just keep in mind that it may be outdated.
