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."

The squish bits and only the squishy bits

The single most boring thing about the new Battlestart Galactica series were all the philosophical / internal-conflict / interpersonal-power-play scenes which were used as cheap filler (no FX = cheap) in between the action scenes.

Now they want to do a series which consists almost entirely of cheap filler scenes???

The 1980s are calling and they want their Dallas clone back ...
