"Caprica" Pilot (2009)

Caprica (TV series)

Original airing January 22, 2010

Caprica is a television series set in the fictional Battlestar Galactica universe. Beginning 58 years before the events seen in Battlestar Galactica, Caprica tells the story of how Colonial humanity first created the robotic Cylons, who would later plot to destroy human civilization in retaliation for their enslavement.

An extended version of the pilot premiered exclusively on DVD and digital download on April 21, 2009. The first season, composed of the two-hour pilot and 19 more one-hour episodes, is expected to begin airing on Syfy in the United States on January 22, 2010.


Whereas the dark, post-apocalyptic reimagined series revolved around a final bid for survival, Caprica is preoccupied with a world intoxicated by success. "It's about a society that's running out of control with a wild-eyed glint in its eye," states Ronald D. Moore. The Twelve Colonies are at their peak, self-involved, oblivious and mesmerized by the seemingly unlimited promise of technology. Framed by the conflict between the Adamas and the Graystones over the resurrection of loved-ones lost in an act of terror, the series will explore ethical implications of advances in artificial intelligence and robotics.

Set against the backdrop of a society with technology a few decades ahead of our own, Caprica is grounded in urban locales rather than in space, and focuses on corporate, political, familial and personal intrigue. With the troubled relationship between two families at its center, Moore himself has likened Caprica to the 1980s prime time soap opera Dallas, and it has been referred to as "television's first science fiction family saga."

Though Caprica is a prequel, and as such will explore the backstory of the reimagined series, notably the emergence of artificial life and its progeny the Cylons, it will do so in a manner that requires no prior knowledge.

The Day the Earth Stood Still


:46:20
All you have to remember is first find
the common denominator, and then divide.

:46:24
Thanks, Mr. Carpenter.

:46:28
- I'll say good night again.
- Mr. Carpenter...

:46:30
I...

:46:34
- Good night.
- Good night, Mrs. Benson.

:46:38
- Bed now. You can finish that
in the morning. - OK.

:46:45
Bobby.

:46:48
I think it would be better if we didn't see
quite so much of Mr. Carpenter.

:46:52
Gee, why, Mom? He's my best friend,
and he's awful good in arithmetic.

:46:56
He even helps Professor Barnhardt.

:46:59
Did you really go to see Professor Barnhardt?

:47:01
Sure we did. He wasn't there,
but we went to see him.

:47:04
And Mr. Carpenter showed him
how to do his arithmetic.
