Kristin from E!Online got some more details on the Caprica pilot, far more detailed than what we got way back in the day from SciFi.
As was originally planned, it will focus on two families: The Adamas and the Graystones. But Kristin snagged some cool details:
The Graystones include father Daniel, a computer genius; mother Amanda, a brilliant surgeon and unfaithful wife; and their daughter, Zoe, who is martyred to her boyfriend’s religious fanaticism—but not before she installs the rudimentary elements of her personality and DNA into a machine, creating a digital twin of herself, Zoe-A.After the human Zoe’s death, Daniel uses these raw materials, some stolen technology and his own grief to cobble together “a robotic version of his dead daughter.” This robot version, known as Zoe-R, is a Cylonic Eve, the first of her kind. …
… As Adm. Bill Adama once told us, his father, Joseph, was a great attorney of his day, fighting for the civil rights of the Twelve Colonies’ downtrodden and marginalized. But that’s not his whole story: Joseph Adama’s wife and daughter were also killed in that same suicide bombing that took Zoe Graystone’s life.
The two fathers, Daniel Graystone and Joseph Adama, work together on replicating their children in cyborg form, but “Joseph is ethically appalled by the robot version of his dead [daughter], Tamara, and repents his actions.” …
Still, the one happy result of the Adama family tragedy is that Joseph and his young son, the 9-year-old Bill, grow closer to each other, and Joseph begins to explain their family’s story to his sad, somber child. But will their bond prepare them for the havoc soon to be wreaked by the rise of the Cylon nation?
From what Bill and Lee Adama’s conversations have revealed, it doesn’t seem that bond stood the test of time. Did Bill become a fighter pilot to atone for his father’s role in creating the Cylons?
Stay tuned.
