Sci-fi props from TV's Caprica...

Caprica is the sci-fi spin-off prequel to the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series and instead of instead of humanity fleeing Cylons in space, focused on the city based political, family and corporate history of the Twelve Colonies.

These props featured in the short-lived TV show were photographed on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 26, 2012.

The series primarily follow the stories of the humble 'Adama' and wealthy 'Graystone' families, respectively the father of Galactica's 'Commander Adama' and the creator of the robotic Cylon technology.

  2. It's always great seeing the little things that help bring a show to life, especially a futuristic series like Caprica (no matter how bad)
