During the early discussions about the 2007 Battlestar Galactica TV movie with Ronald Moore and David Eick, Michael Taylor proposed a time-travel-based story in which Adama would somehow return to Caprica before the initial Cylon attack. Once there, he would try to convince Admiral Cain to trust him and help stop the attack. Executive producer David Eick was interested in a story about Admiral Cain but the time-travel elements were quickly discarded.
