The Scifi channel released the first trailer for their new Battlestar Galactica spinoff show yesterday. The show is called Caprica, and it takes place 51 years before the events of BSG. It is supposed to be about the families involved with the creation of the Cylons and it takes place on.....you guessed it.....Caprica.
Here's what I don't get though. From what I can recall, the first Cylons were big clunky robots like the ones in the original series. Even in the new BSG show, all of the flashbacks to the first war show the original Cylons from the 70's. In the new show, the Cylons disappeared after the war and no one saw them again. It wasn't until after the assualt on the colonies that people started to realize the Cylons had evolved and now look like humans.
Yet, according to the trailer, it appears that the very first Cylon ever made is a perfect human copy of some guy's daughter who dies at the beginning of the show. What the Frak?!?!?! How is that possible.
I'm so confused. Hopefully they'd better have a solid explanation for what looks to me to be a rather large plot hole. I'll just have to wait and see I guess.
