We delve into the Caprica movie and ponder how well it fits in the Battlestar Galactica universe, from production design to technology to story continuity.  We scrutinize the hedonistic Virtual Club and the teen angst genesis of the Cylons–do the Cylons truly have Artificial Intelligence?

We consider where the series could go, and reveal some potential future storylines from key scenes that were only in the script.

Come see us at Balticon! It runs May 22-25, and our live panel will be on May 24, at 7pm.
