I finally got it together to start watching Caprica. Had I known it had Trixie from Deadwood on it, I might have even done it sooner. BUT. I have never seen BSG. I did watch the mini about a year after it came out, but I've not seen the series. For those watching both, is there any reason I can't watch them concurrently? I can't really think of a reason, but I wanted a second opinion anyway :)
The one thing that bothers me about this show is that I keep thinking about the statistical unlikelihood of a blonde woman and a red-headed man creating a black-haired daughter. What annoys me most about it is that it shouldn't actually bother me at all. The genetic factors making up hair color are complicated, so it's not like two O-neg people making an A-pos baby. But every episode I've watched, I've thought about it at least two or three times. However. TRIXIE! It's all good.

But I see where you're coming from - convince me people are related, casting people!

And oh yeah: the show's have nothing to do with each other. BSG...feh, I hate it. I think Caprica is brilliant, though.

There is no reason whatsoever that you can't watch them concurrently. They share only 1 character, Bill Adama. The tone and everything else is totally different.

Yay! I will give BSG a try :D

Though, isn't black hair dominant and red and blond both recessive? So if for example the mom character had a parent with black hair and the father character had a parent with black hair, couldn't they then have a child with black hair, no harm, no foul? Keep in mind, I am literally trying to recall this from my 7th grade science class, which is the last time I can clearly remember doing punit squares.

if something is recessive that means that if you have it you have both genes for it, and so cannot pass on genes for the other to your offspring. So two people with blue eyes (which is recessive) cannot have a brown-eyed child, but two brown-eyed people can have a blue-eyed child because they can have one gene of each color, and the brown will express. But hair is a little more complicated than that, so even though it's less likely, it is possible.

Oh, okay, thank you for explaining that. I'm not sure if I'm more or less confused now, but I do know for sure that there is a good reason I don't try to do science stuff often. LOL!
