Caprica
News for BSG fans. The good news: there will be a prequel to 'Battlestar'.
The bad news:
In other words, they're going to replace the metaphysical clap-trap which has become increasingly prevalent in the current series with moralistic equivocation and neo-Ludditic bleating...
I think I'll pass. I hear enough ignorant, honking hippies in the news; I don't need them on my entertainment.
(On the other gnarled claw, I thought BSG was gonna suck, but it turned out pretty good... at least up until the last two years, when the writers apparently started dropping acid.)
The bad news:
"We want people to come to this who have never heard of 'Battlestar Galactica,'" he added. "I think, because ('Galactica's') backdrop was space and spaceships, there was a barrier to entry for some viewers. 'Caprica' has none of that. It's an intense family drama set on an Earthlike planet, in the near future, speaking to a lot of the ethical dilemmas that we as a human race are going to have to face very shortly."

Art is suppossed to speak out against the establishment, and against the people in "power". What happens when the artists ARE the establishment and are in power? Then they are no longer artists, but propogandists. As much as they schill for Leftists and Leftists ideals, they might as well start calling themselves Goebbelits and just admit what everyone knows.
Along this line, did you know there is a 2 part movie coming to theaters about Che Guevara. It makes him out to be this great hero and liberator of the 20th century, instead of the Marxist dictator he wanted to be.
One caveat, no taxpayer dollars will be used in the artist rendition of Caprica.
The Sci-Fi channel is owned by NBC, which is currently owned by GE, which has been recently contemplating asking for a government bailout. So it may be paid for by Taxpayer money.
A bailout for GE?! Why? Did the CEO run out of caviar?
*Shakes fist* Damn you Davis....
