"I gotta tell you, not to give anything away, it is exactly what you think it is," Olmos said in a panel discussion Thursday night in Hollywood as part of the Los Angeles Times series The Envelope. "You see the complete opposite of the first 281 days of what we went through, ... seen through the eyes of the Cylons, and it is breathtaking. It's fantastic. It's not fun, but I will say that you will sit there [gasping]."
Battlestar Galactica surprised fans and critics alike by achieving ratings and audience share most science fiction movies and shows only dream about. The world-wide audience was not quite as large as for the 1990s phenomenon of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spinoff Xena: Warrior Princess but people were still buzzing about Galactica and the Cylons enough to warrant greenlighting both this movie and the upcoming series Caprica, which takes place on the planet Caprica about 50 years before the Cylon sneak attack.
Think of Caprica as Dallas for SciFi or Dynasty for Geeks and you'll probably be close to what the producers have in mind.
