A marriage made in the 12 colonies

While looking for info on the upcoming season 3.5 of Battlestar Galactica (starts 10 p.m. Jan. 21, moving to Sundays), I stumbled upon this little tidbit:
Sci-Fi is looking to start a new series called “Caprica.” It will show how the Cylons were first created. Here’s what the channel’s media Web site says about it:
“From executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick (‘Battlestar Galactica’), writer Remi Aubuchon (‘24’) and NBC Universal Television Studio, this new series is set over a half a century before the events that play out in ‘Battlestar Galactica.’ The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better. But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot—a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the ‘Battlestar Galactica’) ‘Caprica’ weaves corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television’s first science fiction family saga.”
Holy Frack!
Here’s another article, on Zap2it.com about the proposed series.
I’m guessing the Cylons in “Caprica” will look more like this:
than like this:
Unfortunately, no info on when the series might start, who might star or anything else, but sign me up to watch.
With a writer from “24” on board, the only other thing I have to say about this is, if Jack Bauer lived in Caprica, the Cylons would still be slave robots and would be happy about it!
