Caprica gets new life!

A month or so ago, rumours surfaced that Sci-Fi were struggling in their TV scheduling as a result of the writers strike. The problem was the lack of new material to put on air. The solution, re-assess previously rejected scripts that could go ahead without further writer involvement. One such script that came up in the rumours was Caprica, the spin off show from the Battlestar Galactica remake.

Thankfully now, those rumours seem to have been more than just hot air, as TV.com is reporting that Caprica is now confirmed for production.

The story will take place around 50 years before the events of Battlestar Galactica and will cover the creation of the Cylons. I'm sure the Cylons rebellion against mankind would also have to feature somewhere in the story line. Let's hope we don't have to wait too long to find out.

Battlestar delayed

I came across an article (via Ain't It Cool News) regarding the upcoming 4th and final series of Battlestar Galactica.

Seems that after initially being delayed from the usual October/November launch for the series to a January launch, the series has again been delayed to an April launch. While that inevitably means that we all have to suffer a longer agonising wait to see what happens next, we may also have the further problem of a mid-season break over the summer, even the possibility of the series spilling over into 2009.

After the cliffhanger ending to the 3rd series, it seems we have some time to wait to see the ultimate fate of the Galactica and her crew.
