E--terminate

Battlestar Galactica ended in March, 2009, and the prequel-spin-off Caprica has never had BSG‘s cultural prominence. (Or its ratings.) Now, it looks like Syfy is hitting the reset button on the Prequel Option: This time, more space violence! According to a press release from Syfy, the network has just greenlit a new two-hour pilot for Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, set ten years into the first Cylon war (which would place it about four decades before BSG). The pilot centers on a young William Adama, played by Edward James Olmos in BSG and an adorably annoying child actor in Caprica. Right now, it’s still just a TV movie that might become a series… but let’s be fair, if this thing is half as good as Caprica, it’s going to get at least one season.

1. Meh. Never could get into caprica. Doubt I'll even watch this prequel. n/t

2. Too bad. I actually liked Caprica (OK, so I was the only one) . . .

But I'll admit that it didn't have the mass appeal that's required to support a pretty expensive production.

I'll give the new series a look, too, because I'm that kind of optimist.

3. Not the only one--I liked it too.

Although I did find it moving a little slow for my tastes. But it showed some definite potential. Especially with the idea of the Cylon units being sent to Tauron to do some fighting.

Ah well...

4. I liked Caprica. I want it back.

World Wrestling is not Sci Fi. Neither is that stupid cooking show.

5. They could move Firefly from the science channel to the scifi channel...

Because, really, wtf?

6. It seems that "Stargate Universe" is coming to and end as well.

Gaaack.
