After being shelved for about a year, SyFy has decided to release what was the pilot as webisodes on Machinima.com, starting this Friday (though they don’t seem to have the show listed yet). The following clip is sure to give Hard Sci-Fi purists an apoplectic fit.

Missed Caprica Last Night?
Several people (own beloved Dave included) had a DVR goof-up since some providers listed the episodes of Caprica as “reruns” and not as “new.” Technically, they have been run before, but not here in the US.
Fear not. SyFy is being benevolent and streaming the final five episodes on their website for free.
It’s nice, but if SyFy wanted to really be benevolent, they wouldn’t cancel the series. But let’s not split hairs.
Caprica Review: “Apotheosis”
The final episode of Caprica actually managed to resolve enough that most viewers should be able to make the jump to Battlestar Galactica. It had its flaws, to be certain, but no one could call this ep slow-paced. Caprica lasted only one, uneven season but, judged strictly as a prequel, it proves more successful than either Enterprise or Jar Wars Episodes I-III.
Caprica Discussion: “Here Be Dragons”
We’ll have a review next week, of the final episode and the series as a whole. This week’s high-stakes episode has the Graystones make their approach on the Angels, Amanda take action against Sam, the Gautrau make his move against the Adamas, and Sister Clarisse bring the war to the Graystones.
Anyone else watching? Are most of our readers waiting until SyFy airs them, in January?
Are we not watching at all?
Caprica Review: “The Heavens will Rise”
Are we witnessing the rise of Imperious Leader Lacey?
Who has Clarisse’s holoband?
And will we receive answers to any of those questions, given that the series won’t see another season?
Caprica Review: “The Dirteaters”
Hey–we’re still watching the show and we’re still reviewing it. Pity SyFy has cancelled it and can’t figure out when to run the remaining episodes, because Caprica lately has been demonstrating why its parent network should have had a little more faith.
Caprica Discussion: “Blowback”
SyFy has cancelled Caprica and holds the remaining episodes in limbo, but Space continues to air them at their regular time. Despite seeing both twists this week well in advance, the episode nevertheless remains one of the strongest ones, and genuinely suspenseful.
Caprica Discussion: “False Labor”
Daniel turns stranger, revolution charges ahead on Tauron, and none of it really matters, because Caprica’s been cancelled.
The remaining episodes likely won’t air for a few months.
BSG: Blood & Chrome Gets Greenlight
SyFy has ordered a two-hour pilot of another BSG prequel titled Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome.
The announced plan is for the show to center around a young William “Husker” Adama, rookie pilot aboard the newly built Battlestar Galactica.

Caprica Review: Things We Lock Away
Fighting in the Matrix, death on Caprica, and Zoës, Zoës everywhere– I don’t know what to think.
