Kiwi~SPARTA~ Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Caprica is a proposed television series set in the fictional Battlestar Galactica universe. A backdoor-pilot is currently scheduled to air in December 2008 on SCI FI, although this may well be pushed back to early 2009. Sky One has announced that the two-hour pilot episode of Caprica will be shown on British television in Autumn 2008. Set against the backdrop of the Twelve Colonies at peace and living in a society close to our own, 51 years before the events depicted in the re-imagined series, Caprica revolves around the entanglements of the Adamas and the Greystones. The worlds of Joseph Adama, father of future Battlestar commander William Adama, and Daniel Greystone, an überwealthy technologist, collide when their daughters are lost in an act of religious terrorism. Daniel obsesses over his dead child and, setting his considerable wealth and sprawling industrial corporation to the singular task of bringing her back to life, begins to experiment with startling breakthroughs in robotics and AI. Joseph, a prominent civil liberties lawyer, becomes a vehement opponent to the path Daniel starts down. "The Graystones include father Daniel, a computer genius; mother Amanda, a brilliant surgeon and unfaithful wife; and their daughter, Zoe, who is martyred to her boyfriend's religious fanaticism ? but not before she installs the rudimentary elements of her personality and DNA into a machine, creating a digital twin of herself, Zoe-A. After the human Zoe's death, Daniel uses these raw materials, some stolen technology and his own grief to cobble together "a robotic version of his dead daughter." This robot version, known as Zoe-R, is a Cylonic Eve, the first of her kind." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
