Simply Awful.....The Sopranos In Space.............

Ronald D Moore`s obsession with The Sopranos took a whole new turn with this garbage..a civilisation which is meant to be thriving before mankind even walked the earth,lives in what is basically 1930`s/1940`s America with the cars,clothes,telephones etc of that era plus the ability to create robotic life...here in the UK it got such bad reviews/viewing figures that it was moved from a 9pm airtime to an early morning-2-3am slot..the story telling was horrendous plus the Mob themed background made it even worse....sadly it was not as bad as Stargate Universe but not far off.....

Actually David Eick referred to the show as "Dallas in Space". ;-)

I myself loved Caprica but I also fully understood why the show failed to get an audience and why it was cancelled so soon.
