I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate the producers of Caprica for creating a really charming, ingenious opening sequence. It basically tells the whole backstory of the show in a minute. Let’s be honest opening themes or sequences are a dying art these days. Most shows forego a proper opening and just throw the title at the screen and get on with it. This is understandable as they want to use every last airtime available to tell their stories. It’s just that it was a joy for me to watch the opening sequences of older shows like the A-team, Knight rider, Airwolf, Star Trek, DS9, Voyager and some of the more modern ones like Chuck, Stargate SG1 and Atlantis, so it was really refreshing for me to see this creative new opening of Caprica. I tip my hat to the producers of Caprica for breathing a new life into a dying art. Here is the opening itself: I definitely agree with one of the commentators on youtube this opening definitely pulls you in:

Ok I like to point out to everyone what I believe is the best new show of the season. That is Human target, I know I know the name is kinda lame, I thought so as well at the beginning but right from the first minutes of the pilot the series throws you into the middle of the action and rarely pauses to take a breather. It is refreshing to see another old school 80’s style action show on the air. I believe we were missing such a show, I know we have 24 but that is considered as serious drama while you can categorize Human Target as action, comedy or tongue in cheek action.

The three lead actors are really good, Mark Valley as the charming assassin, spy (anything you want him to be and he’ll be), Chi McBride as his lovable boss, and Jackie Earle Haley (yup Rorscharch from Watchmen) as the mysterious Guerero. The show even has its own opening sequence which most shows lack these days, although I have to applaud the producers Caprica for their ingenious opening sequence. Anyhow, I have just two words to say to everyone: Watch this show (That’s three words actually )
