It looked like exactly what it is intended to be: a compelling character drama with fine actors, excellent cinematography and good writing just like my favorite shows and films (none of which have a robot, spaceship or space battle in sight). Caprica's going to be a show for discerning adults that enjoy an interesting drama (not annoying narrow-minded science-fiction fans). All of which Ron and Dave have made clear from the get-go.
Caprica will hopefully turn-off the sci-fi fanboys that never truely 'got' what the new Galactica was doing in the first place; and they'll thankfully stay away rather than ruining things with their endless bitching and "rank and discuss" threads...and I couldn't be happier.
When I was singing BSG's praises, only smart and savvy entertainment consumers were interested; the fanboys hated it because of it's grown-up elements. However, once it became 'in', they wanted to be 'cool' and predictably started pretending they always liked it; and with every passing year, they have all but ruined the discourse about the show with their typical dork-talk, treating it like they do the rest of sci-fi television (which BSG shouldn't be compared to, as it is in a league above and isn't designed for such a demographic in the first place).
Fortunately, I dont think this is going to happen with Caprica; it will stay "ours". It just wont be able to sustain the interest of the sci-fi geek. Their short attention-spans and obsessive natures just wont be able to handle it. And I couldn't be happier. It'll be great to have discussions in threads about Moore's work--without some trekker/comic-book guy/gamer troll barging in and ruining it--again.

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
