SyFy’s prequel, spinoff series to the acclaimed “Battlestar Galactica” reboot, “Caprica” will premiere tonight.  Why watch “Caprica”?  Check out these red carpet interviews with the young stars of the show, Alessandra Torresani and Magda Apanowicz who play Zoe Graystone and Lacy Rand respectively.  These young actresses explain how both fans and non-BSG fans will like the show.  Also included in this video interview is an interview with “the J. R. of Caprica”, Sasha Roiz who plays Sam Adama.

SyFy has also launched a promotional blog called “The Caprican” that functions like a news Web site, updating you will news from “the city by the sea, Caprica”.  Here’s their introductory post:

“We’re not saying Caprica is the center of the universe “cosmologically” speaking; that question is still in doubt. But let’s face it: Caprica is the epicenter of the 12 Colonies.  And Caprica City is the center of Caprican life. What does this mean for you, our lucky reader? You are at the center of the center of the center.
And since things move at the speed of light in our city by the sea, blink and you’ll miss something. That’s where The Caprican comes in. We’re your one-stop source for all that’s happening in the Colonies’ sophisticated metropolis, from the latest Pyramid scores to who’s on Sarno. Stay tuned!”
