Syfy has greenlit a two-hour pilot for a third Battlestar Galactica series from executive producer David Eick, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome.

The new storyline will take place between the events in Caprica and the core Battlestar Galactica series, in the 10th year of the first Cylon War. It follows the adventures of the very young William Adama, a newly graduated pilot recently assigned to the Galactica.

“Blood & Chrome will… return us to the authentic relentless depiction of combat and the agony and ecstasy of human-Cylon war, which was the hallmark of Battlestar Galactica’s early seasons,” Eick said of the new series.

Caprica has a cadre of loyal fans, but has not achieved the ratings success of the original series. The first season was split into two runs bracketing the year; the second is airing now (see “Caprica Returning in October”). Syfy has not ordered a second season yet.

Remember the webisodes and the Battlestar Galactica: Razor special? The clips that showed young Bill Adama kicking some cylon ass when he was young? Looks like the follow up prequel series that should have been made to begin with is going to finally get made.. but with the craptacular show known as Caprica shitting up the franchise will anyone give a damn at this point? I'll watch it, but if they do mid-season finales and make 3 seasons over the course of 5 years, then to hell with it.

this is what we shoulda got

I hope they actually give us what we're asking for now that they know we aren't gonna eat shit. Caprica failed because nobody gives a shit about that crap. we want young Adama and the cylon war

uh duh

Caprica was the equivlant of making a star wars series based on galactic politics set in the senate only

Ignoring the fact that Bryan Singer produced Superman Returns, Valkyrie and X-Men: First Class were top notch... add in the writer from Band of Brothers and this film has potential.

Like The X Files, BSG is an entity that will work well for a TV series rather a movie.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

The original series pilot was 3 hours long.

[Pchan 5,162]

Goddamnit X'D ... regardless (!!) there's just so much story to enjoy from the series that compressing it in 1 outing isn't enough. That pilot though was pretty good.

fuckin syfy asshats

If they do make a BSG movie, people will watch the trailer for it and wonder why the frack Adama is not Edward James Olmos.
