Excellent news for fans of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica that were disappointed when the show ended its run on SyFy a couple years back, a new show called Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome is coming that’s sure to make you happy. This new show, which we mentioned previously as just a possibility for the web, has now been given the greenlight for a two hour pilot by the powers that be at SyFy.
In case you forgot or didn’t hear about this new show before, it deals with the young years of Ensign William Adama as he begins his journey through the first Human Cylon war. It takes place between the events of the first BSG series and those of the currently running show Caprica and is being produced by David Eick.
While this is good news for fans of the show who wanted more, one question remains. Will this new show be given the treatment it deserves or will it, in fact, be a web show as was previously reported? Obviously, we would prefer a full blown series with all that entails instead of a web series. Not that we have anything against web series, we certainly don’t.
However, if we have a choice we would prefer the show to be much like the previous BSG series and have that kind of budget and scope. A two hour pilot seems like a promising start so I guess we’ll find out soon enough what’s going to happen. In the meantime, we’ve always got our BSG complete series on Blu-ray.
