Anyone watching? It's web only to start with. I think anyone who liked RDM's BSG would like this. Those who watched Caprica would get some of the references. (No, I didn't like Caprica and didn't watch much of it before it was canceled.)

Might be best to click on the links at the top, go to 720p or 1080p, then full screen.

It was pretty good so far. I am annoyed how they didn't use physical sets for almost all of it and went w/green screen and CGI for the interior.

Be warned, there may be spoilers here, so be all caught up before reading replies...

I watched the first two last night. I like being back in the "universe" but agree that the physical sets were sorely missed. And there is always those odd moments where this "old" Battlestar has better technology the one in the future

thanks for the heads up

These are great! I had heard about them, but this motivated me to see them: I didn't like the original BSG (back when I was a kid), but I loved Moore's BSG in the 00's. This has a similar "look & feel" (allowing for the heavy CGI), but that reminds me of another Sci-Fi series I loved: Babylon 5.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed the first episode. Nice to hear the name Adama again.

Watched em. Enjoyed them.

Looks like the series will come to SyFy channel in Feb 2013...

Thanks for these - looking forward to the 16th and the series.


It's good to see some new science fiction - I was beginning to think that "SyFy" had been taken over by toasters. :lol:

Pretty good so far now that I finally watched ep 3 and 4. Next 2 eps coming out tomorrow.

Glad to see that Bear McCreary is still doing the music. He's done a fantastic job so far.

FWIW, the entire set of episodes/webisodes aired on Sunday night on SyFy Channel. It looks like it'll air again on Monday

I didn't rewatch the whole thing but it was kinda nice watching it on my 61" TV instead of on my 24" LCD on my PC.

For those who enjoyed the music and aren't following Blood & Chrome's FB page, the video at http://www.bearmccreary.com/#blog/battlestar-galactica-3/battlestar-galactica-blood-chrome/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; worth watching. I haven't had time to read the page though...
