It looks like a second season for "Caprica," Syfy's critically acclaimed -- yet ratings-challenged -- series that chronicles the life of the Adamas and the Graystones more than a half-century before the events of "Battlestar Galactica."

I'm not sure how legal it is, but the Sony Television pilot of "17th Precinct" leaked online this week. From "Battlestar Galactica's" Ronald D.

Read MoreDid 'Caprica' answer the questions needed to bridge the gap with 'Battlestar Galactica'?
When it was announced last October that Syfy would not pick up “Caprica” for an additional season, there was concern that the show would end without answering the vital questions it set up. Fortunately, Syfy opted to air the remaining five episodes (“the Final Five”) as a marathon on Jan ...
Read MoreFinale marathon draws well less than 1 million viewers
"Caprica" is a dark series, and for some, it was hard to sit through a single episode each week. But when Syfy decided to air the final five episodes on the same night, it seemed too much for most audiences. The last five episodes of "Caprica" last week topped out at 782,000 viewers -- the number ...

Wondering when you can see the final episodes of "Caprica"? Syfy finally has given an answer. The "final five" of the "Battlestar Galactica" spinoff will air Jan. 4, just after the New Year.
