Felicia Day would have been perfect, but then again I think she’d be perfect for just about any role. I’m definitely looking forward to this. After Caprica I’m very excited for the BSG franchise to get back to something more action oriented. This is also going to be the first of the Battlestar Galactica series that I get to watch in HD from the very beginning, which is very exciting to me since anything with special effects really benefits from the added clarity. Working for DISH Network I know it’s a great time to upgrade too, not only are the prices of HD TV’s getting very reasonable but DISH is offering HD free for life. It’s definitely a win/win.

All this new information on Blood and Chrome is definitely appealing to those who are only vaguely familiar with BSG’s history and time line aspects. This show is only set to attract new people into the BSG franchise, and this is its primary purpose and secondarily to attract the already set fan base. They will use BSG/Caprica for basic history and character knowledge, but will not be staying true to the actual set history, of either.

The continuity issues are plenty and will eventually take such a turn that it will make both BSG and Caprica irrelevant to any of what it will contain, if it becomes a series. To read more on the continuity aspect as well as what David Eick has already stated about Blood and Chrome’s primary purpose. Also contained in this article is located a link to a much more indepth review on B&C (along with Star Trek’s reboot team, leading its new action format), by someone who has actually read the script, as well as a link to details as to why B&C was even created.

My choices: Nico Cortez is the obvious choice and since only a Latino can play Adama, Michael Peña would be the runner-up. Brian Austin Green would rock the show as Fasjovik just as he did in the Sarah Conner Chronicles. A dark haired Dichen Lachman would remind us of the bond between Adama and Sharon.

Aaron, Caprica was interesting, but i know just what you mean. From everything I have read, and from understanding the timeline and circumstanses surrounding this new series, it sounds like it is gonna be Star Wars on Crack. With one exception- if Ronald D Moore is at the helm again, there will be massive space battles, and they will FRAKKING ROCK.

Nico Cortez for two reasons- 1) He already has some experience playing the role (although VERY little) but 2): In true casting of a role, the appearance of the other actors older or younger needs to be taken into consideration, and Nico Cortez bears some similarities to Edward James Olmos, gritty looking features, similar jaw lines, etc. That kid portrayed above for the role? What the Frak.

Please just leave out all the religious b/s and go for action! I had high hopes for Caprica and was totally let down by the all the talk of god(s). I wanted to see the birth of the Cylons, not the beginning of religious strife.

Thanks bsgfan2003...funny seeing you on a different forum lol They should also try and get James Callis, playing a different character, since Baltar wouldn't have been born. Perhaps his father who turns out to be more than the young Baltar ever knew. And the final five. They don't simply make their way to Caprica. They stop off at the Algae planet first, rediscover the temple built by their 13th tribe ancestors, and program it to show whoever steps onto the circle the identity of the final five, and at the same time, Sam Anders is probably still being guided by a head character, which would be an opportunity to explain who and what the head characters are. What BSG absolutely needs though, is a showrunner that has a strong vision about where the series is going, and it needs Syfy to appreciate that Ron Moore's BSG universe is like Blade Runner, a masterpiece of the genre that will last for a very long time.

Why should we care? Syfy will screw this up anyways...

BSG Blood and Chrome could tell the story of what happened to the Graystones using flashbacks, when not focussing on the cylon war at hand. Would the cylons necessarily go after the Graystones, if Zoe had finally made her peace with them, and the centurions all seem to have traces of Zoe's consciousness in them? Then again, there is the big question of what happens to Zoe. And what happens to Tamra? And where did the significant eight come from? Were they human to begin with, then v-world avatars, then given skin-job bodies (later to be given synthetic DNA cylon bodies by the final five)? In BSG, when Leoben tells Roslin that Adama is a cylon, seemingly just fracking with her head, it turns out to be a half truth, given that we now know Adama's half sister Tamra was one of the original v-world cylons, and if the Graystones created a skin-job body for Zoe, there was nothing stopping them doing the same for Tamra. As for Sam Adama, he's a hit man, and Tauron mobster, but expressed a lot of interest in joining the Tauron resistence, which could easily lead him to eventually join the Capricans in the war against the cylons. If Samuel Anders, pyramid player / final five cylon could also become a resistence fighter, the same could be of Sam Adama, Tauron gangster, uncle of a cylon. Anyway, it's in the hands of the BSG writers now :)

Nico Cortez ALL THE WAY!! I don't understand why they wouldn't go with him. It's a big task and RAZOR made it easy. RDM and Taylor in the commentary go on about what a "great piece of casting" Nico was. Seems like a no brainer to me. Must be some suit who wants to get some Abercrombie & Fitch guy in there.
