Hello Everyone!
Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome
A CYLON GENRATION WITH NEW BATTLES TO COME
January 7, 2012 - Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome has been is the long awaited series, announced by the Syfy network it more than a year ago. The pilot for this prequel series, which is set 10 years into the original Cylon wars, was filmed some six months ago. Yet, it was not until recently that Syfy relieved fans of the worries that the series might not air, real fear since the disappointment over the failed Caprica. Here's what Syfy original programming president Mark Stern had to say about Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome progress as a coming series.
"We're trying to figure out the economics right now. I love it but we're trying to put various things together to see how we're going to get it made. My hope is we get it figured out.
"It's done almost completely on green screen," he said. "What I love about it is we're applying this idea of virtual sets on a whole new level. We took photos and digitized all the 'Battlestar Galactica' sets before we struck them. So when you see two actors walking down a hallway, they're [really] walking down a green hallway and then we put photo-real shots of hallways and CIC and all the sets we had behind them. Now that we're back from the holidays I'm just waiting to get some foreign [financial] numbers in because we're both the studio and network on this," he said. "I'm hoping to make a decision [about whether to order it to series] in the next month or so."
Set during the tenth year of the Cylon war, this new series will follow rookie fighter pilot William Adama (Luke Pasqualino), and his commanding officer, Coker ( Ben Cotton).
Monday January 16th at 10 on Syfy is the debut night of the Canadian hit series, Lost Girl. The series stars Anna Silk as Bo who is a young woman who soon discovers that there are worse things in the world than being a succubus who must fed on the life-force of human to live.
Also on Syfy, Being Human return on this same night for its second season at 9.
BBC America has released a new clip about it new series, The Fades, which will also debut on January 14th at 9/8c, and looks further into the show and what it is all about.
I say that I agree and disagree with the interviewers. I think that in ABC's Once Upon A Time, Snow While can only marry Prince Charming. It is a given by the way that series has locked itself in the original fairytales. The only thing that makes the series interesting and keeps me watching is the anticipation of learning how the characters will finally come to remembrance of who they really are and their eventual decision to defeat the evil queen. In addition, it is clear that the evil queen does not remember all the everything either, and that Rumpelstiltskin might remember everything.
As for the NBC series Grimm, I like it more than Once Upon A Time for this reason. the writers understood that all fairytales are either based on myth or allegories tales that warn or information people particular children of events and/or people that can either harm or help them. In Grimm I was at first confused by the fact that while the open quote that flashed briefly across the screen referred to a particular fairytale or fairytale character, the episodes seemly broken away from the fairytale and drove deeper into the nature of the beast, whether that beast has fur and walks on all four or man at his most deprive.
It is for this reason I thing Grimm is the better of the two series, and if viewers would look a little closer, they would pickup on what I state here. However, like the interviwers from Idiot Box, I will the continue to watch both series.
