Can 'Caprica' put an end to your crying over 'Battlestar's' goodbye?

I didn't even watch the clips, and there wasn't a single "preview image" that made me want to.

I watched BSG because I knew it would have an end and be conclusive. I have no reason to continue with this franchise.

Also, could the girl in the second preview image [chandler voice] BE any whiter?

While nothing will dry the tears from that AWESOME BSG finale, I'll give Caprica a shot. Despite what many thought, RDM didn't write a terrible episode of Galactica the whole way through. Even if it's not stellar, at least it's better than most of the stuff on tv right now.

Ronald Moore had earned a full season of viewership of his new show from me. I can't imagine that Caprica will be as phenomenal as Battlestar Galactica, but that still leaves it plenty of room to be merely awesome. I like the casting!

Could not get any of the clips to play.

Same here, Robin :(

clips played fine for me

From what i've seen it almost looks like the result of the execs at SyFy coming to the producers of BSG and saying something like "We love BSG, really we do, give us more just like it, except could you get rid of those pesky space battle scenes, they're so expensive and oh yeah any chance you could try to make a connection with the Gossip Girl and 90120 audience that advertisers seem to like so much but other than that, yeah make it just like BSG."

tsmacro,

You said it all, this SYFY spells the demise of or end of Science Fiction on this channel.

This will spell the end of our channel, It is a very sad day for me. I have been very loyal to watch EVERY program produced for what I believed to be my channel. In the future this channel will just be one of many channels on cable and no longer my main viewing channel. Before long we will no longer look to this channel as our source for Scifi. I believe NBCU actually hates the programing on SCIFI and has been looking for a way to remove ALL SciFi programs. No longer will I just watch them to SUPPORT my channel because I no longer have a channel. If they wanted a new channel why not change the name on Sleuth or CHILLER networks and leave the one hope SciFi fans had of consistent programing. Maybe another broadcaster like NewsCorp ( FOX ) will add a real SCIFI Channel they seem to support the programs much better than NBC ever has anyway. NBC may gain folks that hate SCIFI but will lose the core of they viewers. Just a very sad day for me.

The contemp. NBC proves they have for me certainly will make me look elsewhere for something to watch or recommend to others.

My protest is to NEVER watch a LIVE program on ANY "NBC" owned network again. In the future I will record using a DVR and NEVER give them the benefit of having a LIVE viewer. This will KILL ad income and cause the management responsible to be removed and folks that can HEAR fans of their programs will be used to replace these folks.

Bonnie Hammer should go work for Lifetime if she HATES SCIFI fans so much she does not want to be ***ociated with us. The same with USA another channel I have supported in the past, never another LIVE viewed program ever again. The TRUTH is the number of viewers is to small to support a SciFi only channel. Even if all the folks that like Scifi watched at the same time the numbers would not be large enough to make a network happy. BSG never got more than maybe 4 million viewers at most so we can not hope to have a channel devoted to JUST SCIFI. The second problem is the few views of SciFi are so picky that if a program is not EXACTLY what they want they refuse to support it. No support no programs , very simple. When you ad the contempt of network suits to this , the result becomes no network to watch. A program or two might be showing among the two hundred channels on cable at the same time but not enough to support an entire network.

To ad insult to injury Wrestling has viewers everywhere it is on. Spike, USA, Scifi, MyNetworkTv all successful Wrestling programs that sell ads and make money for the networks. Even the Sa****ay "B" movies average about 1.5 million viewers most Sa****ay nights and that is not a bad number for a cable channel, especially when you figure the low cost of these low budget movies.

I am personally sickened that SCIFI is very likely going to no longer be a SCIFI channel, it has not been for a long time because of low viewer numbers and maybe the lack of support of so many of us that really do desire SCIFI programs. Frankly I may consider turning my Directv off and save the money it costs every month and just view the two or three programs on my computer (26 inch monitor) even if I have to pay a small per program fee. I have five DVRS and generally take my TV viewing seriously.

Hey "save Sci-Fi", you should probably read this: http://scifiwire.com/2009/03/sci-fi-president-dave-how.php

The only thing changing is the name.
