	<blockquote>In the official commentary for the [[Caprica pilot]], executive producer and co-creator '''[[Ronald D. Moore]]''', executive producer '''[[David Eick]]''', and director '''[[Jeffrey Reiner]]''' discuss the first episode of ''[[Caprica]]''. They delve into the creative decisions behind the series' opening, including the provocative [[V-Club]] sequence and its origins in earlier script iterations. The commentators explore the show's distinctive aesthetic, emphasizing its realism and dramatic focus over traditional science fiction tropes, and share how this approach distinguishes it from ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]''. Behind-the-scenes anecdotes cover filming locations, the use of multiple cameras by Reiner, and the challenges and artistry of the CGI process. They also discuss the casting of young actors like Magda Apanowicz as [[Lacy]] and the initial marginalization of [[Paula Malcomson]]'s role as [[Amanda Graystone]] in the "Pilot". Key technological concepts such as paper computers and the creation of [[Avatar (Caprica)\|Avatars]] from digital footprints are explored, alongside the development of characters like [[Daniel Graystone]] (influenced by tech titans like [[w:Steve Jobs]] and [[w:Bill Gates]]) and [[Joseph Adama]]'s unexpected mob lawyer background. The discussion touches upon the emotional core of the series, the Adama family's backstory, and the simmering political tensions between the [[Twelve Colonies\|colonies]] like [[Caprica (colony)\|Caprica]] and [[Tauron]] that hint at future conflicts.</blockquote>		<blockquote>In the official commentary for the [[Caprica pilot]], executive producer and co-creator '''[[Ronald D.
