Battlestar Galactica Prequel "Blood & Chrome"

Since there is no Sci Fi board I figured this is the best place to put this post. I just watched this program on the SyFy channel and was generally impressed. I hope they are planning to create a series from this movie if it was well received. Without revealing the plot it tells the story of the first combat mission of Bill Adama's military career. The actor playing the young Adama reminds me in some ways of Keanu Reeves. As with the Battlestar Galactica series there is some partial nudity and suggested sex. Most of the women are pretty hot babes. There are even some of the actors from the series. I guess they are playing the parents of the characters from BSG.

If you were a follower of BSG and didn't watch Blood & Chrome it will probably reair this week and I recommend seeing it.

It would be interesting, I liked BSG, except for the ending where they set everyone on the path of repeating what had gone on before. I hear that Angela is a big BSG fan, as am I.

I sure hope Eric recorded it!!! I'm sorry I missed it.

I almost missed it because I so rarely watch the SyFy channel anymore. Between ghost stories and wrestling I gave up trying especially after Eureka left the air.

As a kid, I liked the original BSG, but even then I knew it was a bit cheesy.

I never got into the new series, but I did record (and actually watch!) the pilot of it a few months ago, so now I feel like I'll understand if I ever do watch the show. I guess in that vein I'd like to see this too.

I just checked the Uverse app on my phone and found that B&C is running again today at 4PM CST. I set it to record. (It'll probably knock a couple of Dr. Whos off my DVR.)

I think I'll watch this on my DVR instead of the State of the Union tonight.

Loved it. Although the combat at the beginning was intense, taking out a cylon ship with his sidearm was great. It's too bad they went with the BORING Caprica series first.

Btw, these are the events between Caprica and Galactica.

That's like saying every episode from the Classic series was cheesy crap. We know that's felgercarb.

Honestly, 1/3 to 2/3 of Classic was cheesy. But there was enough, for a late 70s show, of building up the myth.

Moore, with 4 years, had more time to do so, and probably followed Larson's ideas, and ideas Larson had for a second season, a bit more (pun) closely than most think.

Where Caprica and B&C fit in with respecting Larson's original ideas, I do not know.

There really is more to life than Star Wars and it's clones, like Startrek for example, which at least did try to take it seriously.

DS9 and Commander Sisko was a pale spin off from the original to milk the market.

Starwars is for kids, Startrek is for adults.
