Caprica: The Recap(rica)
After watching this 4-minute-plus summary of the first season of SyFy’s Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica, I don’t think I’m any more ready to start watching than I was before I’d seen it. In fact, I’m more confused about everything I thought I knew about the show, except the fact that Caprica is one seriously fucked up place, full of sex, drugs, and girls’ souls inside robots from the ’70s. Which is, admittedly, kind of confusing too. (Via Blastr)

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
