Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome

This was a lot of fun. I'd totally watch a new series based on these characters. I really loved it. Some of the CGI was remarkably bad. But I liked the story.

It's the best thing Sy Fy potentially has going for it, but for some reason they just don't want to admit/commit to it. Their loss.

So weird. I know a lot of people were turned off by the finale of the other series. But it did well, didn't it? Seems like a marketable franchise.

Hell, Time Magazine listed BSG as one of the best 100 shows of all time. The finale definitely felt rushed, like they were trying to tie it all up under some imposed deadline, but even with that it's one of the most enjoyable shows I've watched in some time.

It's funny how a network that goes by SyFy refuses to promote a show that not only embodies the best of what science fiction storytelling can bring, but a show that is nearly universally loved by fans and critics alike. If HBO/Showtime/Cinemax would get the rights to the series, I would be willing to bet that it woud be a ratings bonanza for them.

I watch a couple of current SyFy series (Continuum and Being Human) and they are constantly advertising their new show coming in April (Defiance) but I didn't see a single ad for this new BSG. It was like they were intentionally trying to have bad ratings.

BSG on HBO would break my skull in half.
