Well, atleast we get something worth watching though.

But after that, if anything else is produced it will be a digital series what the hell ever that means.

CGI;)
All hail the messiah!

Digital meaning you'll watch it on your computer.  Or Netflix, if you're lucky.

I love the BBC for playing all of BSG from start to finish, I missed this show the first time around because I heard people call it a space drama, space soap, ect and figured it would be lame. Well I started watching and I'm really sad I missed this show the first time around, I just got done the episode where Adama finally decides to abandon the old girl because shes falling apart, I'm kinda bother about how fast shes falling apart so severely in the matter of a couple episodes but no indication prior to the revolt. I'm guessing the finally episode is coming soon since they were talking about getting Hera back.

Been extatic when reading these news until this :

Here?s the raw essentials: BSG: B&C is a prequel movie being presented as ten, 7-12-minute episodes

... kinda dissappointing TBH :( I was hoping for a realy TV show - at least 3-4 seasons 12-12 45' episodes each...

btw. what happened to that new Mortal Kombat stuff, I remeber something similiar to blood and chrome (about ten web episodes introducing characters and brief history of them), I remember it was supposed to be an intro to new series or movie but it went silent after that ...

It also says

In early 2013, the two-hour version of B&C will air on Syfy, followed by the release of an unrated version on home video.

Also we should be happy we're getting it at all, the Prequel movie has been done for MONTHS, it has been in limbo since the beginning of the year.

Hopefully if it is popular it will be picked up as a series.

With the attitude of the higher-ups in SyFy, the assholishness of whom couldn't be more apparent, I doubt this will get picked up as a series.

Klingon Academy now works on XP/Vista/Win 7 thanks to one dude's patches, click here for details. I highly recommend it!

Syfy is the one distributing this, so I'm guessing it was their Idea to do the 3 tier release (Internet, TV, Home Release)

!! Attention !! LENS-FLAREGASM  !!!!  :funny

seriously tho ? did they had to put lens flares on TOTAL OVERKILL, I got epilepsy attack after those 12 minutes ... can't we just have it just as in BSG ? no lens flares and space without unicorn-rainbow nebulaes all over the place ?
i even know who to blame for those damn flres



If I wouldn't knew about it earlier I would say it's another fan-made story because of lousy acting skills ...

Dunno how about you guys ... but I'm seriously dissapointed ... it's like watching Star Wars prequels all over again... even early episodes of Andromeda were more bearable acting/visuals wise...

I didn't see anything really wrong with it, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I edited my post to include the second episode.

The Visuals were probably lacklustre after the failure of Caprica, probably gave them a lower budget.

Plus some of the sets are CG since they don't have the original BSG sets so that would have chewed up their budget as well.

Re-watching it, I can see what you mean, some how my first time through I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

Same thing happened to me and Star Trek XI, I honestly didn't notice all the lens flares until someone pointed it out.

I enjoyed it, hope it gets lots of hits and something comes of it.
I never noticed the lens-flare in star trek and this?
But I recently watched the new total recall, and that is horrendous for lens-flare in the first tem minutes

I can tell you why you don't see lens flares here ;) because there is that stupid bloom all over the screen, like it's a dream or something ...

Just watched both episodes and I must say that I'm pretty impressed so far, everything looks really good to me.  Gotta admit though I kinda miss seeing Commander Adama in CIC.  Other than that,  :thumbsup:

And after watching both again on my HD LCD tv instead of my laptop, yes, I have to agree with the lens flare issue.  Damn!  :eek

The lens flares and the CG sets are really letting it down but that thinking has become entrenched in television production now. And it is what let Caprica down toward the end, BSG just used it for set extensions.

Liking the exteriors and the characters so far. Galactica looks mean!
