Where were you when you heard about theCapricacancellation?
Did you fear it was coming?
I have no idea where I was that was months ago.
But yes, the fear of cancellation was always hanging over us like the sword of Damocles.
Wed gotten used to it.
In a way it sort of fueled us on.

What have you thought of the reaction to the show getting cancelled?
Do you fear for the future of such intricate drama?
How far ahead did you know your characters arc?
And of the narrative of the show itself?
Do you think that the show fell on the wrong side of a double-edged sword, followingBattlestar?
I dont think it was what the majority ofBattlestarfans wanted, for the most part.
It probably wouldve served us all better to have not even been connected to it.
How did that manifest itself for you when shooting the show?
Our effects guys were wizards.
Its rare to find characters so instantly complex as we got inCaprica.
How do you balance the many levels of Daniel Graystone?
How do you set about giving the audience a way into a character like that?
And that was wonderful to be a part of.
In hindsight, though, do you think the show was slightly off balance?
Or wouldnt you change a thing about it?
Its rare for a show to find itself in the first season.
What are your abiding memories of the show?
Loved the crew from top to bottom.
We had really good food, too.
Where do you personally go from now?
Is science fiction television an area youd like to return to?
What plans do you have?
Ive been directing steadily since I finished.
A few episodes ofGlee, ofPrivate Practice, and of a new show calledOff The Map.
As to science fiction television, if the stories were challenging and original, Id be up for it.
Eric Stoltz, thank you very much.
