Title: So this now is going to contain content from the Caprica series?
Post by: ethaninja on October 15, 2010, 11:56:16 am: I've seen a lot of threads on here related to the new Caprica series. Does this mean that I'm going to have to watch Caprica? :P

Also, have you guys seen The Plan yet?

Post by: General Battuta on October 15, 2010, 12:04:08 pm: I don't think there's really any content from Caprica to contain. Diaspora is set during the time of the BSG series. There aren't likely to be any of those crappy maybe-only-virtual aerofighters around on Theseus.

And The Plan sucks hard.

And yes, I believe most people here have seen "The Plan" (and have then proceeded to reach for the brain bleach to erase all memory of it)

I don't think there's really any content from Caprica to contain.

We've seen a few things, nothing major though. 1x10 for instance had a quick shot of a freighter type we'd never seen before IIRC.

Diaspora R1 is set during the time of the BSG series.

FTFY.

Nothing stopping future releases from maybe exploring different bits of the timeline.

It retroactively made the whole series stupid.

It really really did. It was as if they were trying to make sense of something (sense of six hurr hurr :P) but in the end:

Spoiler:
It didn't

Post by: The E on October 17, 2010, 11:48:15 am: They tried to explain stuff that never should have been explained. They tried to retcon the mess the Galactica Mythos had become into one coherent mess (which failed abysmally).

The only thing worthwhile to come of that show was this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5AruzZYpxE).
