Caprica’s Season 1 Trailer Reveals Three Reasons Why You Should Watch Caprica
I’m not watching Caprica. My excuse is that I still haven’t seen seasons 1-3 of the new Battlestar Galactica, and even if Caprica is a prequel, I’d rather see BSG first (and it’s going to have to wait until I finish Doctor Who and watch the Avatar cartoon). But this trailer for the first season does make it look more interesting than I had initially anticipated, for three reasons: 1) Patton Oswalt, 2) James Marsters, and 3) the fact that the Cylons are totally old-school, ’70s-BSG-style. I approve. I still won’t watch, but I approve. Thanks to Zoe for the tip.
