'Caprica' Creators Ron Moore And David Eick Promise We'll Be Seeing More Of The Colonies

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of speaking with "Caprica" creators Ron Moore and David Eick at Syfy's upfront party in New York City. It was a rare opportunity to get an inside glimpse into the minds of the guys responsible for making the word "Cylon" relevant to the science fiction-loving world once again, with their completed Syfy series "Battlestar Galactica."

"Caprica" is a prequel spin-off of the series, focused on the families of Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz), creator of the Cylons, and Joseph Adama (Esai Morales), father of "BSG" favorite William Adama (Edward James Olmos). The eighth episode of the first season, "Ghosts in the Machine," airs this evening. I'll get you a recap first thing in the morning. For now though, let's hear from Moore and Eick on what fans can expect moving forward.

Eick thinks that next week's episode, the last until fall, is the one to watch out for. "For me, the best episode of [the first half of this season] is the last one, episode 9," he said. "It's really where I feel like we start to hit our stride and reach what I would call, in humility, a 'Battlestar' level of intensity and emotion and depth, and it's very strong."

The big question I had for the guys is if we'll see more of the Twelve Colonies. There was a brief, tantalizing glimpse of Tauron in a recent episode, but that's really been it so far. "There's definitely more of the colonies," Moore promised. "You'll be seeing Geminon and you'll be seeing more of Tauron as well."
