I guess this is a good thing. I can't seem to get into Battlestar Galactica but it is clearly a quality program. Hopefully, this will be to. Even if it's not, it got to be better than the "Attack of the Giant/Mutant (Insert Animal/Insect/Thing)" movies that
SciFi greenlights with alarming frequency:
Eric Stoltz has signedon to star opposite Esai Morales in Sci Fi Channel's two-hour"Caprica" pilot, a prequel to "Battlestar Galactica."
Eric Stoltz is a strange cat. He strikes me of one of those actors who was on the cusp of being major that just turned his back and went another way, into strange, b-movies, their ilk. At this point in his career, this is almost a step up. As for Esai Morales, in my mind, he basically time-travelled from "
La Bamba" to this- I know he's done plenty of things since then but that's all I remember and I'm too lazy to go to
IMDB.
Next on
SciFi: "Early Check Out", about a library book shelf that goes mad and starts crushing loud-talkers. "Cause of death?" "Books, sir. Lots and lots of books."

A prequel? Nooo. I'm already a Battlestar Galactica widow.

Critical Todd, I don't know how I ended up falling into the world of BSG, but I fell hard. I'm gearing up for Caprica as the final Battlestar season winds down...but I have to agree with you -- is it a good thing that Stoltz and Morales are on board? It's probably good for them as actors, but it's anyone's guess how they'll translate as sci-fi stars. Regardless, I'll be watching.

I'm sure I'll give this a shot - I never got into BSG probably because I missed the first couple of seasons (at some point I'll rent the discs, I'm sure). I do want to throw my support behind any sci-fi offerings on TV.
