Hopefully the header sounds like the intro to Dallas
Anyway as reported on AICN there will soon be a prequel to BSG
Scripted Series
'CAPRICA'
From executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick ('Battlestar Galactica'), writer Remi Aubuchon ('24') and NBC Universal Television Studio, this new series is set over a 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' weaves corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga.
At first I took it to be real and considering we are long past April 1 maybe it is, but I can't help but think it sounds too much like Dallas or Dynasty to be real. We'll have to wait to see who shot Adama, or if the entire Cylon attack was a dream.
