   In the case of Caprica, we are talking about girls that have access to a   
   cyberworld where they can 'safely' explor etheir sexual fantasies.  We also   
   have stories about teen girls wanting to run away because they don't feel   
   loved by their parents.  We also have stories of teen girls looking   
   longingly at teen boys and trying to do things just to please them.  So far,   
   it looks like a bunch of story material that is right up the teen girl   
   alley.

   Which is why I asked:   how can Syfy possible get teen girls to sample the   
   show?
