What it's all about: "Caprica" is a prequel to the Emmy Award-winning 2004 series "Battlestar Galactica," which followed the remnants of humanity after their robotic Cylon creations rebelled and destroyed their civilization. "Galactica" was noted for mixing in several weighty elements of our time, including themes involving 9/11-style decimation, military vs. civilian regimes and religious intolerance.
"Caprica" rewinds the clock 60 years to focus on the creation of the intelligent robots that will one day rise to overthrow humanity. It, too, tries to tackle similar serious themes, including the nature of what makes us human and how we tolerate those unlike us.
Is it just for fans of the original? "Galactica" featured an intensely deep mythology and bleak, circuitous plot arcs that made it difficult for new viewers to jump in. "Caprica" can be watched completely without the benefit of seeing "Galactica." In fact, viewers who didn't follow "Galactica" will enjoy the prequel more, as they'll have fewer expectations going in.
The setting: "Caprica" abandons the larger-than-life story of "Galactica," and brings it down to a more personal level. The series is set in Caprica City, a place which, conveniently enough, looks just like New York. The fictional city is used to show a society at its pinnacle.
