Awesome, a Battlestar Galactica spin-off is being made. It's a prequel to the series and tells of what happened when the Cylons were first invented.

SCI FI Announces Caprica

NEW YORK—SCI FI Channel announced the development of Caprica, a spinoff prequel of its hit Battlestar Galactica, in presentations to advertisers in New York on April 26. Caprica would come from Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, writer Remi Aubuchon (24) and NBC Universal Television Studio.

Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better.

But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot: a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica), Caprica will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.

I can't imagine it will top BSG, but still great news.

So is Battlestar Galactica all that? It's been recommended to me several times, so I guess I should check it out sometime.

Definitely. Granted, it's a sci-fi show, but the actual sci-fi aspect falls to the background. It's a primarily a drama; it just so happens to be set aboard a battleship. In space.

Watch the pilot episode, which is more a like a film (in terms of structure and length) and you'll get a good overall feel for the series.

Over the past 3/4 years i would say Shield BSGand veronica mars have been my fav shows.

BSG is excellent from the acting to the script to the shows arcs to the sc-fi/action/drama/religion and human stuff its awesome.
