I bought the Pilot on DVD once BSG ended months ago. So I just watched last nights new episode. Eick and Moore have been pretty straight up that it isn't BSG. I pretty sure Eick said it was conceptually "American Beauty" to BSG's "Black Hawk Down". So if you didn't like some of the soap operaesque elements of Jane Epensen's scripts (I believe she is the showrunner for Caprica) then you might wanna stay away. I do think I will enjoy religious stuff though. As annoying as Moore's 'theo babble' got near end of BSG I found it interesting.
So long story short, I think I'll stick with Caprica. However when you watch it, don't expect Battlestar Galactica. They are in the same universe, and yes we have a Cylon but they're drastically different.
