In the upcoming series Caprica, a prequel to Battlestar Galactica, we'll get our first look at the birth of the Cylon menace. Unlike most menaces, however, the Cylons at least have the decency to frequently appear in the guise of incredibly hot women. So it's fitting that Alessandra Torresani just happens to be the Patient Zero of comely robotic death machines.

Fresh from Big Apple Comic Con, Alessandra stopped by to talk all things sci-fi. Including the fanboy in his natural habitat.

Caprica premieres in January on SyFy. Mark your calendars.
