According to the poster below, the future of humanity begins with a choice.

Evidently, it also gets promoted with a topless star.

Sy Fy has released its latest promotional ad for the Battlestar Galactica prequel, Caprica. Unlike its serious, dramatic predecessor, Caprica appears to be going for a lighter, sexier tone.

How else can one interpret this poster, which features Alessandra Torresani, topless, as her character of Zoe Graystone?

Caprica will premiere on January 22 with a two-hour episode.
