Caprica

[Stephen of Borg 2]

Tv Guide's 'Sci-Fi Preview' is reporting that the channel is considering the production due to the lack of scripts because of the writers' strike.

 

"I just got a call from NBC-Universal. They want us to take another look at the project," Moviehole quoted Mark Stern, SciFi Channel vice president, as stating in a magazine.

 

The show will be set on the fictional planet Caprica, approximately fifty to seventy years before the events depicted in the re-imagined series.

 

It will tell the story of the Twelve Colonies at peace and living in a society not unlike our own.

 

But high technology and a startling breakthrough in robotics brings to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with mechanical bodies to create the first living robots - the Cylons.

 

They are researched and built, ultimately leading to the First Cylon War.

There's an article all about it along the Battlestar Wiki

thanks for the link

 

The writers strike may actually be a blessing in disguise since it may be the only way to get Scifi to make the pilot for Caprica. I definitely think it would be an interesting series, especially since this is supposed to be the last season for Battlestar Galactica.
