New TV Show Caprica Embraces Gay Marriage

Long-awaited Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica starts on January 22, and we've seen the first few episodes. Here's our spoiler-free assessment of this challenging show that's going to take you in unexpected directions. After watching the two-hour pilot (currently available on DVD) and first two episodes of Caprica, I was left feeling like I wanted this to be a brand-new series completely released from the Battlestar Galactica universe. ... As we learned in BSG, the humans' dominant religion is polytheistic, similar to that of ancient Greece. Perhaps as a result, Capricans are sexually liberal: Gay marriage is commonplace (one of the main characters, Bill Adama's uncle Sam, is in a sweet, cozy gay marriage); it is also legal for people to form group marriages with many partners, and we see a positive example of this kind of relationship too.
