How many of you here saw the show without having seen BSG?

I'm part of the group that just moved on to Invasion: Earth (you're welcome to join us there, by the way) and I was the one who nominated Caprica for our group, even though I've never seen a single episode of BSG.

It's on Netflix, and I came across it while browsing for shows. I watched a few minutes of the pilot, and could readily see the high production values. After reading a couple of general descriptions of the series, it sounded like it would be an interesting concept, how this advanced society inadvertently creates its own downfall.

Unfortunately, I think the writers lost focus after three or four episodes and never quite got it back. I think it could very well have stood on its own, without having to appeal only to the BSG crowd. But poor execution doomed it, IMO.

I only saw the 78 show. I ran across it on my netflix account and then the group voted to watch it. I always liked the original show and thought this might be interesting. Nothing what I expected.

I watched this and had never seen Battlestar, mostly because of the non main cast actors drew me in: Peter Wingfield, Christopher Heyerdahl, Ryan Robbins and James Marsters.

How do I join one of these watching groups?

My condolences to all who watched this before BSG....what were you thinking!!!

I was driving home from a looooooooong road trip (10+ horus) and my friend had this on his flash drive. I watched the first episode and was like: "VR club, Adamas, stuff, SOLD!" and I watched 5-6 consecutive episodes before going the whole series the past two days.
