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."

    Great, twenty more hours of shakey cam to get dizzy to.

    It's too bad they didn't apply this film-school-grade technique in post-production digitally, so they could later re-release a collectors edition, minus the crappy shakey cam. I was so excited about BSC, but can't watch the show, the shakey cam is too distracting. Let your actors and your plot wow your viewers and set the atmosphere, not your wobbly camera. Sigh...
