Polly Walker on Sci Fi's 'Caprica'

One of the more frustrating things yesterday at TCA (Television Critics' Association) was the inability to get a definitive date for the anticipated back door pilot (or series announcement) of "Caprica" from either Sci Fi programming honcho Mark Stern or network publicist, Bill Brennan.

The cast features Esai Morales, Paula Malcomson, Eric Stoltz and Polly Walker ("Rome's Atia).Stern spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour and introduced the "Caprica" panel after the Amanda Tapping-starrer, "Sanctuary.". “We’re going to take a look at it and maybe just order it as a series from there. We are going to take delivery on it in a couple of weeks and then decide whether to air it as a standalone movie or as the premiere of a new series.”Sci Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" prequel "Caprica" may go straight to series. Something actress Polly Walker told me was her hope: "The story is remarkable and I loved the script," Walker (now a brunette) shared near the press rooms off the red carpet set up for the night's party. "I am really happy to be in this project."The panel for "Caprica" during the network's TCA session featured showrunner Ron Moore, EP's Remi Aubuchon and David Eick along with Walker, Stoltz and Malcomson.Moore noted, “The tension comes from the fact that you do know where it’s going,” he says. “All of this -- this world you’re about to visit -- is doomed, in some shape or form."" 'Caprica' is about a vibrant society that is at the height of its power and the height of its decadence. It’s going to come apart... like a roller coaster, ” Moore said.

I am sick to death of prequels. The notion has been ruining SF for the last ten years.

And here we have bastions of the SF Industry, at it again, resting on their laurels instead of doing any real imagining...

Back to the books, then. Ben Bova, C.J. Cherryh, Orson Scott Card - here, the entertainment to be found (on top of the teachings) in intelligent storyweaving has not been lost to ego.

Good luck, all. Thanks, once again, for ruining a good thing.

Caprica can flush itself down the toilet for all I care. Why the hell would I invest in a story THAT I ALREADY KNOW THE END OF.

And the monkeys grunted...

Yeah, why invest in a story that I already know the ending? Wait a minute... I guess EVERY SINGLE WORLD WAR TWO movie would never have been made...

I'll watch anything these people do. Bring it on. Smartest tv around today.

You're kidding, right?

I'm a big fan of GODFATHER II, even though I knew that Brando would end up dying.

And STAR WARS II. And yes, every war movie ever made.

Caprica looks fantastic.
