Damn those SyFy people and their Caprica. I think I’m officially done saying this will be my last Battlestar Galactica post because the show will never go away and they’ve gone and done it. They’ve crossed over into gadget land and created an amazingly cool custom Zune complete with the Caprica logo and custom Content. At the fan friendly LA television event PaleyFest09 they screened the premiere of Caprica at the famous Cinerama Dome last night (Monday) and surprised fans by having a 90 minute Q and A. I went to a similar event for BSG a few years ago and attended a private Cocktail party with the entire cast upstairs afterwards. It was a very strange and surreal experience. So I’m sure fans were thrilled. The custom Zune will have all of Season Three, the first half of Season 4 and the 90 minute Q and A from last night.
The panel included
- Magda Apanowicz (Lacy Rand, "Caprica")
- David Eick (Executive Producer)
- Jane Espenson (Executive Producer)
- Tricia Helfer (Number Six, "Battlestar Galactica")
- Paula Malcomson (Amanda Greystone, "Caprica")
- Ronald D. Moore (Executive Producer),
- Esai Morales (Joseph Adama, "Caprica"),
- Grace Park (Sharon/Athena/Boomer, "Battlestar Galactica")
- Eric Stoltz (Daniel Greystone, "Caprica")
- Alessandra Torressani (Zoe Greystone, "Caprica")
Zune Marketplace will be the only place fans can get this footage from this Q&A session for streaming and download beginning April 28th. With all of this convergence happening, where do I post an article like this Television? Tech? Regardless, I’ve been eyeing the Zune for awhile now, can’t justify getting one because of my new iPhone and I already own an iPod Touch, but I don’t know why the Zune doesn’t get more lovin. It’s a great little device and I may have a surprise for you readers in the coming weeks.
