The two-hour pilot for Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (2011) has begun filming. As a fan of Battlestar: Galactica (both the original and the reboot), Battlestar: Galactica: Razor, and aspects of Caprica, I am looking forward to what the scifi show’s creators come up with. I am also looking forward to the early experiments on human beings by Cyclons and the space battles that occur with “a young William Adama during the 10th year of the first Cylon war.” We already reported how Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome cast Luke Pasqualino, Ben Cotton in the key roles in the upcoming series.

Here is the official press release.


New York – February 10, 2011 – Production has begun in Vancouver on Syfy’s highly anticipated 2-hour pilot, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, the all-new chapter in the Battlestar Galactica saga. Universal Cable Productions will produce the event with Syfy utilizing cutting edge CGI and virtual technology. »


So we know they are currently making or have finished the pilot but there is no word yet from SyFy when it will air.


A more recent date on this article but it still mentions the same thing that B&C is under production,

Did they close out V properly?

As far as I know they did not. I don't watch the show myself but several friends of mine who watched it religiously mentioned that the final episode was NOT by any means a proper series closer.

I saw every episode (I think), and the ending could be taken two ways: in the last 3 minutes it was shown as being the start of a giant coordinated final assault on the V's taking an hour, a day or week...or it could be interpreted as the end of the guerrilla #%&*$# and the start of a global counterattack starting off a totally fresh campaign taking months or years.

I didn't really care too much for the ending. Frankly I was expecting more really...

Anna/Queen was spectacular, she by herself elevated this show, including the ending. At times I got so frustrated with the losers in the "resistance" that I sometimes wanted the V's to win! If only to smack the stupid out of the human twits.

Gah. Such a great beginning, yet it just got bogged down too quick. At the start we see they have overwhelming surveillance of our populations, using jacket patches, phone intercepts and spy drones, and can fly a "grenade sniper bomb" into a room and selectively kill the enemies while leaving the friendlies unscathed...yet the guerrillas then spend two years yapping at each other about operations over their cell phones!??! Are you freaking kidding me!?!

Ok, sure, I don't want to show real world terror cell methods on network tv, but I mean c'mon, let's not also be "full retard" about this!

V Pretty Much Ended the Same way as SGU.


A Big Conflict, followed by revealing something of a plot twist, followed by a long sequence/shot fading to credits, no closure.

only difference is, V, 50& of the main characters were killed off.

No closure to the storyline AT ALL. none.

In both cases the final ep was shot as a season finale, not a series finale. Same with most series. The last show I remember that got cancelled that was able to scramble and get a series finale shot at the last minute was Enterprise, and THAT was a Galaxy-class fiasco.
I recall Jolene Blalock called it "appalling."



The Jedi Master

These TV show creators should lobby for final show stipulations in their initial contracts. It would allow for funding of one final two hour episode if their series is cancelled. It's a travesty that these series just disappear. I too think that these TV execs are way too quick to put the hammer down on many of these series.
