Aired first in the UK/Ireland?
I find this idea absurd; And, I wonder who thought up this lame idea. I think there are a lot of people interested in Caprica because of Battlestar Galactica; And, I expect EZTV or VTV to facilitate the widespread download after the first episode is aired. I understand the need for commercials and for people to make money. That is why I hope they do a worldwide release in November; And, going against a worldwide release will just hurt the producer's pocketbook. I hope this because I want to see more of the Battlestar Galactica universe, and the best way for that to happen is for the show to make a lot of cash.

According to the link provided by the citation in the introduction "the two-hour prequel is tentatively scheduled to air on Sky1 and Sky1 HD in Spring 2009" and NOT November 2008. Chev (talk) 11:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't know why Spike is using this to utter his/her opinions, but anyway, it is useful. I did the modification of the Sky1 air date and didn't check the US premiere date. Sorry =). The text now reads: ""It is expected to get its worldwide premiere on Sky1 in the UK and Ireland in Spring 2009.[1] In the United States the backdoor-pilot is currently scheduled to air in December 2008 on SCI FI, although this may well be pushed back to early 2009.[2]""

Clearly, the Worlwide premiere would no more be aired in UK/Ireland, but in US, if the schedules were met. The text should be changed to something like: ""It is expected to get its worldwide premiere either on Sky1 in the UK and Ireland in Spring 2009[1] or on SCI FI in the United States, where the backdoor-pilot is currently scheduled to air in December 2008, although this may well be pushed back to early 2009.[2]""

I am making this change, but leaving this note to clarify the situation. Elideb (talk) 02:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

SyFy v Sci Fi Channel

 * This show will never be broadcast on the "Sci Fi Channel" as that name is going away in July. Hence the change to SyFy.  Anything other change would be giving out the wrong facts and be original research.  If a reader is "confused" as to what the name "SyFy" which was the reason given for the revert, then they can click on the wikilink which redirects to "Sci Fi Channel" and explains the upcoming rebranding in the intro paragraph. -- KelleyCook (talk) 18:35, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Since notes on the development of the show and citations (appropriately) reference "Sci Fi", there should be an explanation of the change somewhere in the article. Perhaps, just "the first season [...] is expected to begin airing on SyFy (known as the Sci Fi Channel before July 2009)..." Clconway (talk) 19:25, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * We should not change the name of the station until the rebrand has actually happened, because SyFy simply does not exist yet. And as Clconway noted, every reference still uses the name SciFi. — Edokter  •  Talk  • 20:22, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed. And do we know for certain when Caprica will start?  It may begin on SciFI, particularly given the ratings of the BSG finale and their tendency to shift airdates around. Drmargi (talk) 20:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Ron Moore, Ron D. Moore, Ronald Moore, Ronald D. Moore?

 * Anyone drink enough coffee for an opinion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.241.24.118 (talk) 11:29, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It's Ronald D. Moore, or simply Moore when repeated in sentence. — Edokter  •  Talk  • 11:55, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Battlestar Galactica, Caprica and the female demo

 * With all the talk about not reaching a female audience it's an interesting factoid that many BSG/Caprica reviewers, fullsome in their praise, are female.
