Jimmy, I'd recommend watching it. It's just as character driven as BSG, but instead of being set in space it's set on the colonies. It has some really cool insights into the colonies before the war and especially into what led up to it.

I watched most of the season, but seemed to miss the same episodes on reruns (don't you just hate that lol) It seem to have some social commentary about the present world we live in. I didn't enjoy this series as much, I dunno why though, it is well written, but it isn't drawing me in. I'm interested in that preview, I see a viper in there

I was hooked from the word go. Knowing where all this is headed seems to help.

They have featured the jet fighter type Viper already in the season.

Jimmy, watch it!

Well, the first one we see is a pair of jet engined V-22 Ospreys and the second one that we get a quick look at(which you to are talking about) looks like a Harrier.

Though that really isn't surprising if you think about it.
All hail the messiah!

The Osprey type things were in the mid season finale during the van chase. They have DRADIS.

We now have an online series to look forward to aswell. It will take place during the first Cylon war following Bill Adama. There will be atleast nine episodes that will be ten minutes long.

Syfy developing online BSG spinoff

Syfy is developing an online BSG spinoff titled "Blood & Chrome". The series will follow a young William Adama during the first Cylon War. It?s unknown if Nico Cortez, who played a young Adama in the BSG movie "Razor", would reprise his role for the online series. "BSG" and "Caprica" co-executive producer Michael Taylor will write the script for the project which is expected to consist of nine or 10 episodes at 10 minutes each if greenlit:
Quote
?Blood & Chrome? is ?about a young man?s initiation into war: both the realities of war as fought by soldiers on the ground (and in Battlestars and Vipers), and the somewhat less real version portrayed in the media,? according to Taylor.
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Taylor said the show will make use of the latest in digital technlogy and special effects to depict the Cylon War and could potentially be done in 3D:
Quote
"I?ve seen the virtual, 3D version of CIC ['Battlestar's' Combat Information Center] and it?s pretty damn cool,? Taylor said. ?And yet the movie isn?t confined to Galactica. Far from it. It?s a story that will take us to new corners of the ?Battlestar? world (or worlds), and yet it aims to be a very contemporary war movie in a lot of ways. I would say I?m thinking as much of Afghanistan and Iraq?the reality of ?Hurt Locker,? Sebastian Junger?s ?Restrepo,? and similar movies?as I am about about the largely implied past of ?Battlestar.?"
If successful, "Blood & Chrome" could serve as a backdoor pilot for a new TV show.

I know I will absolutely be watching this.
All hail the messiah!

It's a little funny, i don't like Cap that much, but i loved BSG. And in razor, in the flash backs, it was Husker's[William Adama] first and only mission during the war till the armasis was signed. I got Razor on DVD and it has all the webasodes and after he is in bed with the chick, she calms him down and per-pairs him for his first mission because he's straight from the academy. I think there rewriting there time line, like trek does from time to time,lol. I cant wate for it, and the new BSG movie.

to be honest, Razor retconned his war experiance anyway, The rest of the show gave me the impression that he had seen more of the war than that.

Besides, IIRC it's not in the flashback itself that Adama says it's his first mission, I thought he said that in the present timeline before the flashback, it's possible that he meant it was his first tour, I could be wrong though, I haven't watched Razor in a while.
