Battlestar Galactica Blood & Chrome Won't go to Series at Syfy

Features

By GustavoLeao / 14:25, 22 March 2012 / General Genre/SciFi

Following this morning's debut of the first trailer for Syfy's two-hour "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome," (check it out by clicking here) Deadline is reporting that, while the network will still air the pilot as a special, Syfy has elected not to go forward with the show as an ongoing televised series. They may, however, return to the notion of developing "Blood & Chrome" as it was originally conceived: as a webseries. Syfy president Mark Stern issued the following statement:

“We are actively pursuing it as was originally intended: a groundbreaking digital series that will launch to audiences beyond the scope of a television screen. The 90-minute pilot movie will air on Syfy in its entirety at a future date. Our enthusiasm for this ambitious project has not waned.”

The full report can be found at  Deadline

BSG for 12 year olds | Report this post to moderator

I mean, it looks fine to me, but I could care less about special fx. But monsters on an ice planet? When I saw that it all felt very derivative of both Empire Strikes Back and even the uh...what do they call it...Star Trek movie. It just looks like BSG for little boys.

This show would have been too awesome to have put on SyFy.

I don't know, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I have absolutely ZERO interest in a web series. I want my TV shows on TV! If this show goes to webisodes only, I won't be watching. It's too bad too, because the trailer for the pilot really had me interested.

SyFy is run by incompetents | Report this post to moderator

That's the only explanation for all of the horrendously awful decisions they've been making over the past several years. Completely and utterly incompetent.
