Someone has gotten their hands on a copy of the pilot script for Ron Moore’s Battlestar Galactica prequel, Caprica, about the creation and evolution of the Cylons. His verdict: it gave him chills. Which I think means the script was good, and he’s looking forward to more.

But hey, why don’t I let him do the telling. Here is an excerpt from the review. You can read the rest for yourself at Collider.com.

No spoilers here, but this film won’t ONLY show the roots of the Cylons (and their theistic beliefs). A more alert reader (or viewer when the time comes), one who wasn’t so wrapped up in the evolving story, may catch certain other clues a little earlier. It ends with a multi-zing of “oh” realizations and definitely leaves room for story growth.

As a BSGeek (I watched the most recent season in one sitting), I was happily satisfied – this work stands on its own two cybernetic legs. At the beginning of the read, I was impatient for the ties to Battlestar proper. By the end, I was ready for the next chapter in the prequel. Unlike certain other prequels. (I’m looking at you, George)

I guess that means he really, really likes it. But then again, he was able to watch Battlestar Galactica’s latest season in one sitting. BSG is not my thing, but if it’s your thing, you’ll probably love what Ron Moore does with Caprica. Then again, if you thought BSG was genius, you’d probably watch Ron Moore wash his clothes, so there you go.
