Battlestar Galactica Gets Spinoff Prequel Series
It was recently announced that sci-fi remake series Battlestar Galactica is getting a whole new spinoff prequel series called "Caprica." Signed on for twenty hours worth of finished product, including a two-hour pilot, the new series is to be set 50 years prior to Battlestar Galactica, and will focus on two rival families, the Graystones and the Adamas. "Enmeshed in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons, the two houses go toe-to-toe blending action with corporate conspiracy and sexual politics. 'Caprica' will deliver all of the passion, intrigue, political backbiting and family conflict in television's first science fiction family saga."
It'll be like "Dallas" or "Knot's Landing", but with spaceships? Wow!

Shudder.....
I want a list of atrocities done in your name - Recoil
Spinoff + Prequel all we need is an alien life form or a ghost that only the main character can see and talk to who only heckles the main character to make it a truly horrible idea.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
If this new series involves a dagget with big, floppy ears, that talks like a Jamaican, I can no longer be a BSG fan. See ya!
It's reality TV from the fuuuuuuture. I can haaardly wait.
Episode 1: It begins with a street fight between the Adamas and the Capule--I mean Capricas. They try to marry off the young future commander adama but is turned down for not being gay enough for Baltar's grandfather.
Episode 2: Adama is asked to wait a few years and then go to a bar, where he'll meet his future lover, Tye, who unfortunately is also a Caprican. Angst results.
Episode 3: Adama professes his love while standing on a balcony having a conversation with his mother about toaster studels. Tye overhears this, and they agree to a civil union. The rest of the Adama family hears of this and declare war on the Capricas. They're so distracted that they fail to realize the toasters have become sentient. A trail of burnt strudel leads to the outskirts of town.
*six month break due to writer strike -- online commentary -- this plotline SUCKS!!! It has a political agenda! Doom upon the soothsayers* ...
Yeah, I can see it now. Now watch me get modded "-6000, damn slash fan"

How do you explain season 3?
Bender: WhooooOOOOOooooooo!
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
The First Rule of BSG Fan Club Is You Don't Talk about 1980. The second rule is WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT 1980! It never happened. That series doesn't exist. It vanished into a black hole like disco okay? Eye bleach, neeeeeeed! It's the BSG fan equivalent of Nemesis. It didn't happen, okay? Did. Not. Happen.

Nah, but I have a friend who's dad is a BSG fan too; Has all the DVDs, so we went over and I found 1980. So I borrowed it. I'm soooo sorry. It was worse than eating three chili cheese burritoes and a Vault while on the rag. It just... omg.

Sounds like a cross between Dune and Star Wars Episode 1.
With all the fast-moving action of the former and all the rich storytelling of the latter.
next up buck rodgers. bee dee bee dee bee dee
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
This probably should wait until George Lucas is dead, just to be safe.
Good, idea......I'll be right back.
And to think people complain about just texting while driving! Thank ${DEITY} I work from home and don't have to share the road with the likes of you.
