The folks at SyFy have sent over the brand new poster for the upcoming series Caprica this evening, and we’re not quite sure what to make of it. It features Zoe Graystone, played by Alessandra Torresan, and the tag line “The Future of Humanity Begins with a Choice.” It is a clear riff on the concept of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the biblical tale in which Eve eats the apple, thus disobeying God and committing the first sin.

In Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel series, Zoe is the daughter of Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz), the man who first creates the Cylon race. After Zoe is killed in a terrorist attack, he looks for a way to bring her back as a synthetic being. Which is where the show’s pilot (currently on DVD) begins).

As for this poster, seen below, I’m concerned that it might be a bit too sexy. Isn’t Zoe in high school in the pilot? I know that actress Alessandra Torresan is 22-years old in real life, but aren’t we going a bit too far with this one? Please share your thoughts below.
