It is a shame that Caprica couldn’t find a groove, whether it be creatively or ratings-wise.
You can’t blame Syfy for trying. But the numbers for Caprica were just horrible.
Right off the bat, Syfy’s new series Caprica is not Battlestar Galactica. First, the network is promoting the series as its own entity, no reference to its source material. Second, creators Ron Moore and David Eick say it is its own entity, with basically “easter eggs” for BSG fans.
