remember the ending of the show?

remember how they screwed you?

are you really going to waste your time again?

Well, that was pretty good.

Blood and Chrome was ok, maybe pretty good.

BBC America started the whole BSG series a few weeks ago. I got hooked and watched the whole thing on Netflix. Yeah, the ending was less than satisfying but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Shhhh. Watching now from DVR....

The original BSG (2004-2009) was a good series overall. Season one was exceptional. Look to episodes like 33 to see what I mean. Season two was good. Season three...humph. Fell flat. Season four droned on and on...Except for "Daybreak." Daybreak gave you that pit of the stomach breathless feel that is the hallmark of good science fiction writing. It made you stop thinking 'this is science fiction' and concentrate on the story being told. I was upset and uneasy for days after watching "Daybreak." It was the end of the series. Some people didn't like it. I understand that Ronald Moore had to end the series early and force an ending on a limited budget. (we need more wrastling and reality series on the science fiction network don't you know.)

"Blood and Chrome" could have been so much more. It was going to be a series but because of the failure of Caprica, didn't get the green light. I watched Blood and Chrome for what it was and thought it was great. I understand most of it was CG and shot on green-screen like Sanctuary. It still delivered. Should have been a series but probably won't make it. The network buried it on Sunday night (didn't even see any promotion on any NBC Universal channels) so the ratings would be sub-par. Enjoy the wrastling and reality shows because you won't see shows like this anymore. Hopefully they saved enough money on "Blood and Chrome" to make such good tv as "Sharkapuss 18" and "Possessed Celebrity Underwear." (Rant off)

The production company that produced BSG and Caprica is shooting a pilot in March.
Same company that did "Fringe", which ceased production in December.

Now that everyone has had a chance to see it, what did you think?

I thought Adama was much too Starbuck like. The plot was thin. I can see how it would work online with the 10-12 minute episodes. We needed more backstory on the "Civilian" woman who worked at Greystone to understand why she did what she did.

One thing I did not like, they changed the Cylon ground units. In the first war, they were supposed to be regular Cyclons. They should have simply kept the standard model. In the last episode of Galactica, the old models were still around.

Overall, a decent distraction for a couple of hours.

When the webisodes aired last fall, I saw them all. Is there significant new content with the 2 hour pilot, or is is just a back-to-back airing of the webisodes?

For one thing that wasn't the original BSG but a sequel to the original BSG
And for another thing, i really didn't like it..The whole idea that they got androids amongst them and they can't figure out who is what is pathetic.

This blood N Chrome sucks even more, the camera filter makes it all look like cgi, even the acting.
