Toasters: They Still Have Plans

This coming Tuesday is October 5th.

October 5th also happens to be the date for the premiere of season 1.5 of Caprica, the love child and prequel to one of my favorite and simply put, one of the greatest television series ever, Battlestar Galactica.

I spent some downtime over the past week - when I had the chance - and went back through the original 9 episodes of the first season.

Caprica obviously has a completely different feel to it from it's predecessor, which makes sense considering the setting. But it's something that has worked considerably in the favor of the show.

Casting has always been a one of the major drawing points of the series, looking back at the cast from BSG's romp through space provided for many memorable performances and helped put the names of some of the younger actors firmly onto the map.

Capica continues this tradition by filling the roles of its protagonists (and antagonists) with experienced and talented actors. For example, it certainly didn't take long for Sasha Roiz (Sam Adama) to put down his name as the new resident badass for the franchise.

Casting aside, the drama that has always been the center point of the series, despite what the surrounding issues may be. But you know either way that you're going to get a full plate of the word Frak and the looming, distant threat of a Toaster Armageddon.

The season premiere of season 1.5 of Caprica airs at 10PM EST on Space or Syfy or whatever other channel/medium you'll be choosing to watch it on.

Frakkin' toasters.
