Although it will be cool to see the events of the Cylon War.

SGU isn't bad, but the bits where they use the stones to inhabit other peoples bodies and then do stuff like have sex... really creeps me out. I get they are trying to do character development with it, but I find it creepy none-the-less.
Caprica, on the other hand is trying to do character development and build up the characters a bit slower then they did in BSG, and in a different manner. I think my biggest critique of Caprica is it shouldn't have had any tie to BSG via Adama. They seemed to have jumped right into the the idea of Sentient Cylons, when I would have expected to see a more gradual transition.
Anyhow, I think this could be interesting, as it would be about 8 years after Caprica and 40 years before BSG so you have a 10 year period to work with. At least thats how I understand it...

I really liked SG1 and SGA, but SGU is unbearable,ughhhh. I watched a few episodes of Caprica, but i lost interest and not really planning to ever watch any more of it. The new idea for BSG sounds interesting as long as i dont have to watch all of the sex plots that they had in the BSG reboot. Please more action in space, not in the bed!!

Its kind of dragging out though... and admittedly, I thought BSG season 3 & 4 dragged a bit too.
They are obviously trying to build it to more of "Soap Opera" serialized drama, but I really liked the pacing of BSG S1 & S2, if they had picked up the pace and compressed S3 & S4 into a single season I think it would have been an absolute master piece.
So that seems to be what they are doing with Caprica. Instead of planning a 2 or 3 season show that really has a good pace, I think they are taking it slow hoping they can run it out for 4 to 5 seasons... when there probably just isn't that much story to tell.
The question will be... will they be able to wrap Caprica up neatly so the new series can bridge the gap between the birth of the Cylon and the second Cylon War?

You just don't really care much about the characters, and the most interesting bit is about the birth of the AI that brings the cylons to life, and they really aren't focusing much on that aspect of the story.

I have to say, I'm not happy about the cancellation of Caprica, but I'm even less happy about SyFy dragging it out in what seems like a blatant attempt to buy time until Blood & Chrome is released. I'm glad that they're going to finish the show, all 18 episodes of it, but I'm disappointed that they're not just going to run them as planned, especially given that they're already completed and waiting to be shown. Why SyFy is "sitting" on them is beyond me; I'd think that they'd want to distance Blood & Chrome from Caprica if it did as poorly in the ratings as the SyFy press release implied.
Furthermore, I think that SyFy is canceling Caprica prematurely; they ran BSG 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, and then did a 180 on style and ran season 3.0, realized it didn't work, did a full 360 back to the original style and ran seasons 4.0 and 4.5. If the style that's been used for season 1.0 and 1.5 of Caprica isn't working, why not just finish up the season, do a 180 on the style, and produce a short season 2.0 under the condition that if things don't improve, the show will be canceled? At best, this would give us a shot at a continued show with some improvements, and at worst it'd give Caprica a proper finale, and potentially hint at Blood & Chrome. If SyFy wants to drag Caprica into 2011, I only wish that they'd do it in a way that would wrap up the series.
As far as I can tell, Blood & Chrome is still on; for all we know it went into development as a result of Caprica's ratings not doing very well and BSG still being popular. I have to say, I'm not happy about the cancelation in the slightest; I was really beginning to enjoy Caprica, and the most recent episode that aired on Tuesday was one of my favorites so far.
I have high hopes for Blood & Chrome though, but I really wish SyFy would stop with the stupid "season x.0" and "season x.5" numbering system. I didn't like it with BSG, and I don't like it with Caprica or SGU which seems to have picked up the .5 system as well. I think what really hurt Caprica was the two-year delay from the initial announcement of a BSG prequel, coupled with roughly a year between the pilot being released on DVD and the show premiering, as well as the Friday night timeslot and lack of series promotion outside of SyFy itself. I hope that Blood & Chrome fares better though, I really do.
