The prequel series *Caprica* (2010) is set 58 years before the events of the reimagined series *Battlestar Galactica* (2004). It depicts Caprican society and the development of artificial intelligence and robot-making, a step toward the Cylons. Some streaming listings round the gap to 50 years, while the American Film Institute and Universal give 58. [1–3]
