Caprica

Tonight, I had the wonderful (and sad) opportunity to watch the series wrap up of the phenomenal sci-fi show, "Caprica."

This prelude to the epically grand Battlestar Galactica was a divinely crafted, intensely literate and superbly orchestrated television wonder every bit as gripping and engaging as Battlestar Galactica itself.

The entire production staff, the actors and especially the writers and executive producers should all be welling with pride at the unbelievable storytelling that was presented every week. Caprica was indeed one of the very few television series that actually expects its audience to think, analyze and predict where it would next go on its journey to the BSG years.

Smart television has lost yet another shining beacon to corporate nimrods who look for the fast buck over quality, intelligence and evolving social commentary that shows such as Caprica, Battlestar Galactica and Stargate Universe greet us with week in and week out; and which challenge each of us to better ourselves through insight and examination.

Farewell, Caprica.

Your time was far, far too brief.
