‘Caprica’ updates

Some simply perfect news this week: Esai Morales has been cast in the Caprica pilot/telemovie as Joseph Adama, father of William Adama (now played by Edward James Olmos).
Morales most recently played, of course, our heroic Maj. Beck on Jericho. Given the different schedule of cable and network shows, one would hope that when (not if, when) Jericho gets a Season 3, he’d be able to work out both?
Paula Malcomson (remember Trixie from Deadwood?) will be Amanda, described in multiple spots as a surgeon who works as a double agent. But she’s also the matriarch of the Greystone family, the rival to the Adamas.
So what is Caprica going to be all about? Check out this post, this one and this one.
Wired had this interview with SciFi network exec veep Mark Stern, in which he discussed the science of BSG, sci fi in general and talked about how the network has high hopes for Caprica as more than just a pilot.

I will be happy to tune in…especially since our darling Major Hottie Beck will be joining the cast for some episodes. Looks like Esai will be busy with 2 shows now..Caprica and Jericho Season 3.
I’m excited about Caprica but I had to admit it made me just a tinge nervous when Esai signed on. I know Jericho’s future isn’t carved in stone yet, but I do have faith it’ll be back and it just wouldn’t be the same without Beck now. He’s just a much a part of Jericho as everyone else and there’s so much of his story yet to be told. I hope he can work both into his schedule as well (and I have a feeling he’ll find a way!)
