The airing of Caprica's pilot episode started last week on SyFy on the 22nd January. It was the same episode which was released on DVD last year - although this one was edited to have less nudity and sex scenes. Caprica is a spin-off and prequel of Battlestar Galactica. I found that these reviews on io9 and Popwatch particularly good.

When I first watch Caprica last year I was lost. This spin-off series was totally different from Battlestar Galactica. It took me a second viewing to see the science fiction themes running through the episode and get used to the new episodal structure. I think they've put a lot of stuff into the two hour special. From Zoe creating an avatar which is "alive" even when she dies (ooopss spoiler), to the virtually twisted religious theme of monotheism vs polytheism. We're also given a front seat to the birth of the first cylon. I guess they're off to a great start.
