Caprica

No, I haven't seen it yet. :sigh: As usual, I'll be drumming my fingers on the table top and waiting for the DVDs.

Very funny article here by the Guardian's Lucy Mangan, about her and husband's very differing views on Caprica.

Must say, this seems to agree with what I've been told is the general reaction to the show out in the mad, bad world of fanforums, ie. that a lot of male BSG fans don't like it because there aren't any battle scenes or spaceships. In other words, they've taken BSG away and turned it into a gurl's program.

and yes, I know this is horrible stereotyping, but at least Lucy Mangan makes it funny.

I love Caprica and think that if they would have continued with another BSG it might have just become boring - this exploration of the people and the history of the BSGverse is perfect for me - We did not need another round of what we saw in BSG - that story was done, this new one is a new beginning.

It is such a huge pity that this outstanding series is already being talked of as another potential series that will face a much too early cancellation from the "numbers game." My hope is that SyFy has expended such a great effort and funds on this series - it is, as far as I can tell, their premiere project.

Please, if you have not watched the series, do catch-up on-line before this season finale - Comcast On Demand has it available - I plan on buying the series on itunes to help out the series.

I'll be buying the DVD as soon as it comes out, if that helps. I've pre-ordered it on Amazon, though if a Region 2 version comes out first I'll get that instead.

I would hate for it to be cancelled.
