Battlestar Galactica – The Plan

Battlestar Galactica, 2004 re-imagined series ended in fourth and final season. Fans were happy and fans were unhappy. In the fourth season finale there were a lot of answers to questions around the background story, who is who and what is their purpose. Of course, there are still questions that were left unanswered.

Will the upcoming movie, which is expected to be aired in November, answer those questions? Some of them perhaps, I doubt that we will get to know what was going on with Starbuck.

The Plan will be all about Cylons’ plan and the masterminds behind it. The Cylon perspective of the whole story. James ‘AdamaOlmos told that after you see The Plane, you will want to see the whole series again. I hope that this is true.

For now, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for Tricia Helfer‘s re-appearance in some new, previously unseen,  ‘they-ran-out-of-fabric’ dress.

Check the trailer below.

Caprica

It took a while but it finally arrived, the long avaited Caprica.

For all who might not know, Caprica is a spin-off from the reimagined Galactica TV series. Like its predecesor it was created by a long time Star Trek writer, producer, etc,… Ronald D. Moore and again he did an excelent job. The pilot was released on April 21st on a DVD and via digital download.

It looks very promising, a series that combines elements of a sci fi, soap or space operas and cyberpunk. In my own words I like to call it a “modern cyberpunk”, it is still far from Ghost in the Shell but is a lot closer to Blade Runner.

Since this is the decade of prequels we find ourself with yet another one. But what is so good about this one is the fact that you don’t have to be fan of the “original” Galactica series, you don’t have to even know that it exists or what it is.

I’d give it 4 out of 5, but that’s just because I knew (guessed) where they were going with the story in the first 30 minutes. For the complete review we will have to wait for the series release which will be in 2010.
