Exclusive: The former engineer tells Jeremy Kay why he wanted his sci-fi TV series to be the first from the Middle East to come to the annual San Diego pop culture convention.
Eric Roberts, Natasha Henstridge, and Eyad Hourani star in Medinah, which takes place in the near future in Qatar as a catastrophic rocket mission to stop global warming plunges humans into a fight for survival against monsters, parallel realities, and their own demons.
Al Baker is polishing off the first season, which shot from January to June this year in English and Arabic, and is funded entirely by Qatar’s privately backed Katara Studios.

Title: "Ghosts in the Machine"
Director: Wayne Rose
Story: Like last week's episode, we're back to hunting ghosts in "Caprica." Joseph Adama continues to search V-World's New Cap City for his daughter Tamara's avatar with the help of his mysterious guide. The path takes him to some pretty dark places, ultimately leaving him to question the importance of his search in the first place. Meanwhile, Daniel Graystone attempts to push his U-87 Cylon past its limits in the hopes that Zoe-Bot will reveal herself. The ghost in Amanda's "machine" appears to all be in her heard, as she can't shake those pesky visions of her long-dead brother.
The Killer Inside Me: Joseph is getting ever closer to his daughter, but he's slipping further and further away from who he is in the process. He samples an addictive V-World drug, a hack that makes him better, stronger, faster, but when...

Title: "The Imperfections of Memory"
Writer: Matthew V. Roberts
Director: Wayne Rose
Story: This week's "Caprica" is almost entirely focused on seeking out the dead. Joseph Adama, now aware that his daughter Tamara is "alive" (in a manner of speaking) in the V-World game of New Cap City, straps on a Holoband and sets out to find her. Meanwhile, Amanda Graystone begins seeing a ghost from her past-- literally. As we soon learn, this is a place she's been before. And Daniel, so intent on maintaining his company's survival, has missed the obvious truth that's been staring him in the face all these weeks: the avatar of his daughter Zoe, the one that lives inside Daniel's sole, working Cylon, has been there all this time. As this week's story closes, Daniel's eyes open to the possibility for the first time thanks to some help he receives from an unlikely source.
