'Deadwood' Prostitute Signs Up for BSG Spin-Off

TheEditor · 05-06-2008, 09:18 AM

Battlestar Galactica is still well into its final season, but before fans start mourning the loss, there's more news on the Ronald D. Moore spin-off Caprica. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paula Malcomson has been cast as the female lead in the new series.

Malcomson, best known as the prostitute Trixie on HBO's Deadwood, will play the role of Amanda Grayston, a brilliant scientist who along with her husband is a pioneer in the creation of the Cylons. In the pilot, their daughter Zoe is killed, but her DNA and consciousness live on as she is the prototype for the next step of humanity, the Cylon equivalent to Eve. The show will also feature Joseph Adama, the current Admiral's father, as a lawyer and opponent to the robotic experiment.

I only saw a little bit of Deadwood, but I'm excited by the description of her character. It'd be awesome to see the "Eve" of the Cylons. I agree that a spin-off will be tough to pull off though. I'm sure the Sci Fi Channel would like more viewers than the 15 people who watch BSG, so the show has to stand on its own somewhat.

I am excited to see the spin-off Caprica and I am sure it will do fine. BSG has more then 15 people watching it and I am sure Caprica will have a good rating when it starts.

Caprica is going to suck.
