Okay, its finally arrived, the FINAL season of Battlestar Galactica… after months of rumours about it cancellation, and a movie substitution the first episode of season 4 was aired last night. At current i have no idea whats going to happen in this penultimate season, but if the first three are anything to go by, then its got some serious standards to live upto, and i doubt its gonna disappoint !

News has also filtered down the grapevine about the spin-off season to BSG, Caprica. In case you haven’t heard, Sci Fi has ordered a pilot called Caprica from BSG creator Ronald D. Moore. It goes back in time to before the creation of the Cylons for a look at life in the Colonies before, well, everything blew up.

Caprica is the story of two families, the Graystones and the Adams (better known to us now as the Adamas), and we’ll be meeting the man who fathered and grandfathered the goodness that is Bill and Lee Adama (Edward James Olmos and Jamie Bamber). Interestingly, when Ronald D. Moore was interviewed last year, Caprica’s plotlines were not directly tied to the characters we know from the current series. RDM was also asked if there might be any Thrace-Adama-Agathon-Roslin ancestors in Caprica, to which the reply, “Right now, there are no ancestors of anybody in the pilot.” Well, looks like that changed in the intervening time, and thank goodness!
