Blood & Chrome : News/Speculation/ General Discussion (Spoilers for Pilot)

[P-90_177]

Not even the name is original. I predict this show will crash and burn too. BSG itself was never a ratings champion, and I suspect the dark and gritty atmosphere and soap elements from the previous shows will stay.

Gooood.

Errr...what does Shawn Ryan adapting Tom Clancy have to do with this?

sorry...wrong link ^^ ....but Tom Clancy (although off-topic) is also great news.

Nice....Bye Bye Caprica and hello Blood and Chrome !

Actually, I'd prefer it if Caprica stays on air along with B&C

bite your tongue! this is going to run along side SGU 3 years from now!

/a guy can hope cant he?

[JustAnotherVoice]

Squee!

Will RDM have any involvement in this other than a roundabout "based on a reimagining by" credit?

That would work for me. Whatever the case may be though, at least the world of Battlestar will live on.

'based on RDM's battlestar galactica' ?

Interesting that this is now a full-fledged 2-hr movie/backdoor pilot rather than a web series.

I think it's quite exciting, actually. I was not expecting this at all.

On the other hand, it will be seen by many as an attempt to counter Caprica's poor ratings with the space opera format... but it's good news nonetheless.

I guess SGU gets another season and they'll cancel it after that. And we'll get new BSG

Personally I don't think so. They've said right off the bat that B&C will likely be a 2011 premiere, and IF it gets a series pickup, that won't air till 2012 at the soonest. If Caprica's lousy ratings do it in, it'll be a whole lot sooner than that.

I'm with you though, I'm very pleased to know that this is getting the movie treatment. Gives them a much broader story canvas to work with; not to mention a (likely) much bigger budget.

I'm putting SGU at 5 seasons, Caprica getting a short-order Season 2 and then ending, and then B&C launching as a series. As long as we're making sweeping future predictions

[YsoL8]

This is what Caprica should of been!

I'd love to see how they get the war to last so long without either side winning
And Galatica in her glory! (anyone for a plot about the corner cutting they found at the end of BSG?)
The Final Five!
Daniel!
The invention of Hybrids!
Why the Centurions lost their free will!
What happened to that girl in the cylon body!

Exciting!
