[COLOR= #303030]Starring: Eric Stoltz, Esai Morales, Paula Malcomson, Sasha Roiz, Alessandra Torresani and Polly Walker[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Executive Producers: Ronald D. Moore, David Eick[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Based Upon the series Battlestar Galactica[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Directed by: Various[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Caprica Season 1.0 [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]is a 4-disc DVD set including the first 9 episodes of the Battlestar Galactica prequel, including two versions of the pilot movie. While all the episodes were completed by the beginning of this year, only 9 were initially aired. The remaining 8 are now beginning to air on SyFy, with the first return episode having just aired this past week. The first 9 episodes have now been packaged as Season 1.0, given that the complete season has not aired at this point.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Having gone through the season, it’s very clear that this is a very different series from Battlestar Galactica, and it is even a step further from the original pilot film, which I reviewed here last year. Essentially, we’re seeing the precursor to the fall of human culture which will lead to the Galactica series. So there’s a sense of a shadow hanging over the events we are seeing, as the characters unwittingly seal their own doom. And there’s a very different feel to this series from Galactica. This is more of a futuristic soap opera, with badly behaving adults contrasted with somewhat more honorable and innocent children, all of which is salted with examinations of virtual reality, artificial intelligence and occasional doses of the bursts of action that punctuated the Galactica series. It’s a much slower series, and it really takes its time drawing out each of its various plot points. For me, it’s not as compelling as the original series - and that’s in spite of a series of interesting performances by the adults here. I’m still not as taken by the performances of the kids, to be honest. And while the writing occasionally gets into some interesting side areas, there’s just not a lot of material here to keep an audience glued to the situation at hand.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]The DVD set includes all 9 episodes in anamorphic widescreen and 5.1 sound, including both the unrated version of the pilot and the version that actually aired on SyFy, along with the usual assortment of extras we have come to expect from Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. Every episode other than the aired version of the pilot comes with at least one scene-specific commentary. Deleted scenes are included for all the episodes, along with a few video blogs and brief featurettes sprinkled throughout.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]VIDEO QUALITY[/COLOR][COLOR= red]3/5[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Caprica: Season 1.0 [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]is presented in a 1.78:1 Anamorphic transfer that shows a wide variety of colors and environments, some of which are real, some of which are completely CGI. This isn’t really a show about spaceflight or laser battles, but it absolutely is a study of different lighting patterns and filming styles – including a completely different look for the virtual reality city featured in many episodes.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]AUDIO QUALITY[/COLOR] [COLOR= red]3/5[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Caprica: Season 1.0 [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]is presented in an English Dolby Digital 5.1 mix that essentially lives in the front channels, although the virtual reality scenes tend to make a little more use of the surrounds. The occasional bursts of action bring the subwoofer to life.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]DISC BY DISC[/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]As I regularly do with television series sets, I’ll account for what can be found on each disc, in order. To save time, I’ll note here that all episodes and the deleted scenes are presented in anamorphic widescreen, except for those from the pilot film, and while the episodes themselves have the 5.1 sound mix, the deleted scenes are presented in 2.0, and are accessed from the episode selection menu.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]DISC ONE:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Episodes: [/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Pilot [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– The aired version of the pilot is included here, running 1:28:32.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Pilot (Unrated) [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– Here we have the version of the Pilot previously issued on DVD last year. It runs 1:31:57 and includes more graphic footage and nudity than the aired version. (Scene specific commentary from Ronald D. Moore, David Eick and pilot director Jeffrey Reiner is carried over from last year’s DVD as well.)[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]The rest of the first disc consists mostly of the extras from last year’s release, with the exception of an episode of GHOST HUNTERS that I don’t think anyone will miss. To wit, the extras are:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #181818]Feature Commentary with Ronald D. Moore, David Eick, and director Jeffrey Reiner [/COLOR][COLOR= #181818]- This is a scene-specific group commentary with the guys discussing what makes this show different from Galactica and what choices were made during the writing and production of the pilot. They cover a lot of ground here, particularly discussing some deleted scenes that are not included even in that section of the special features.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #181818]Deleted Scenes [/COLOR][COLOR= #181818]– (7:10 total, Non-Anamorphic) – A few deleted scenes are included here, one of which would have disclosed a crucial plot point much earlier in the movie, and two others of which establish possible plot threads that may get used later in the series. (One case, showing an additional avatar in the “V Club” doesn’t make much sense, and doesn’t seem likely to be brought back in the series, but you never know...) [/COLOR]
[COLOR= #181818]Video Blogs [/COLOR][COLOR= #181818]- (13:09 total, Non-Anamorphic) – Four brief online video blogs are included here (“What the Frak is Caprica?”, “The Director’s Process”, “V-Club” and “The Birth of a Cylon”). There’s not a lot of material here, mostly the usual mutual compliments between Ronald D. Moore, Jeffrey Reiner and some of the cast. The blogs make the point that Reiner’s directorial style involves using multiple cameras at the same time to shoot a complete scene much more quickly (and allow for more variety.) (As I understand it, the actors on set were able to improvise and work within their scenes, since the cameras were already going on both sides of the room, meaning that there wouldn’t be any issue of trying to match one side to the other.) The younger actors give a tour of the “V-Club” that feels a little forced, and the final blog finds director Reiner wandering the set of the big CGI shot, making jokes about the various sci-fi props and equipment seen in evidence.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #181818]There’s also a menu of previews for other Universal television DVD releases, including Eureka, Friday Night Lights, Heroes, House, Law & Order, Miami Vice, The Office and Warehouse 13.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]DISC TWO:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Episodes:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Rebirth [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– The first regular episode comes with deleted scenes (10:03) and a podcast commentary with David Eick and producer/director Jonas Pate.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Reins of a Waterfall [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– This episode, directed by Ronald D. Moore, comes with deleted scenes (2:05) and two commentaries. The first is a podcast commentary with David Eick and Jonas Pate. The second commentary, available for the first time on this DVD, is with Ronald D. Moore, discussing his work as a director here. Much of his comments are interesting in that they reveal some basic Directing 101 thoughts as he’s clearly been learning a bit more about the process since his first try at it on Battlestar Galactica.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]This disc also contains: [/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Video Blogs [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– (35:04 Total, Anamorphic) Nine video blogs are presented here, including “What to Expect”, “Adama”, “U87”, “Morality”, “Roll Cameras”, “Snake in the Grass”, “Caprican Stylz”, “Virtual Life” and “Gray Matters”. I should note that this list does not include about five blogs that have been available on the Caprica website, so there are some items that have not been included with this DVD set, if you’re watching closely.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]DISC THREE:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Episodes:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Gravedancing[/COLOR][COLOR= #303030] – Includes deleted scenes (2:38) and two commentaries. The first is a podcast commentary with Jonas Pate and actors Paula Malcomson and Sasha Roiz. The second commentary, available for the first time on this DVD, is with writer/producer Jane Espensen.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]There is Another Sky [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– Includes deleted scenes (6:47) and a podcast commentary with David Eick, editor Andy Seklir and VFX supervisor Gary Hutzel.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Know Thy Enemy [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– Includes deleted scenes (4:17) and a podcast commentary with David Eick, editor Harry Miller and composer Bear McReary.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]This disc also contains:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]The Caprica Dynasty [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– (13:42, Anamorphic) This is a fairly standard making-of featurette, including clips of the cast and creative staff giving the usual compliments to each other.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]The Look of Caprica [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– (4:58) This featurette is actually a bit more interesting, as it delves into the retro-future look of the series, and how the costuming, production design and photography all play into the idea.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]DISC FOUR:[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Episodes: [/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]The Imperfections of Memory [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– Includes deleted scenes (14:44) and a podcast commentary with David Eick.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Ghosts in the Machine[/COLOR][COLOR= #303030] - Includes deleted scenes (12:39) and a podcast commentary with David Eick.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]End of Line [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– The final episode in this set brings things to a kind of midseason cliffhanger for almost all of the characters. It comes with deleted scenes (9:11) and a podcast commentary with David Eick, Michael Taylor, actors Magda Aponowicz and Paula Malcomson, as well as Paula’s mother Lorraine and an appearance by Tom Lieber.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]The disc also contains[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Creating a World [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– (6:25, Anamorphic) This featurette focuses on the VFX work done for the series by Gary .Hutzel and his team. Various examples of shots with greenscreen and then full comps are included for good measure[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Season 1.5 Sneak Peek [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]– (3:04, Anamorphic) This is really just a brief collection of interview snippets about what is coming up in the remaining first season episodes, along with clips from the episodes already aired. There’s a couple of interesting comments about the latter episodes making the hanging shadow a little more evident. But most of this just rehashes what we’ve already seen, including a difficult choice by Magda Aponowicz’s Lacy Brand in End of Line.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Subtitles are available in English, Spanish, and French. There are no chapter menus for the episodes, but there are chapters at each act break therein.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]IN THE END...[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #303030]Caprica: Season 1.0 [/COLOR][COLOR= #303030]is a convenient way to catch up on the first part of the first season of the prequel to Battlestar Galactica. It’s a nice package, complete with commentaries on pretty much every episode, and a few featurettes to round things out. We’ll have to see if the series continues – at this point, nothing has been filmed past the first season, and a new season would not likely air for another year, if it even happens. Still, this should be an intriguing journey for dedicated fans of Galactica, and as such, at least merits a rental.[/COLOR]
