So it's already been filmed and paid for yet they're in no hurry to show it? This makes absolutely no since to me. What good does sitting on this do? How could it not make money and get better ratings than those crappy Saturday night movies they show? Do they not remember how waiting months after the series finale to premier The Plan cost them ratings?

What a joke this has turned into.

How many Sharktopus vs. Giant Hemorrhoid movies have they run since this was announced?

Agree. This "Pilot" has turned into a fucking train wreck. I mean seriously, now it's going to fucking Youtube and being broken up as Mini-sodes? -rolleyes-

Wow, I thought this was dead and buried. I'll check it out, but I'm not expecting much.

It's still dead. There is no chance in hell this becomes a series. If I'm not mistaken, the Pilot was shot 2 years ago. They are just airing it, releasing a BD/BD to recoup production costs. What is stupid IMO is breaking it up into a 10 part webisode series. Just air the fucking movie during the Holidays when their is no competition.

I don't watch Syfy at all anymore. I don't want to give them anyone of my attention even though they still have a show or two I'd like. I'm thinking about getting those Sanctuary blu-ray sets on sale at Amazon. I haven't watched that show since season 2.

damn... other than that awful music, that was badass.

Yeah, it looks pretty fucking amazing.

Too bad the <s>SciFi</s> SyFy Channel won't stand behind anything that isn't crap.

It's a variation of the BSG theme. I don't consider that awful music.

How does Sharktopus get put on the air but not this?

Watched Ep 1 on my iPhone at lunch, damn it feels good to be back in this 'verse. Hope this goes nuts on views and they finally decide it will be worth their while to watch.

Outstanding mix of old and new BSG, right down to the mix of music theme styles. Old school Cylon raiders yeah!

why the fuck didn't they greenlight this as a series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I enjoyed them, but think I'll hold off until they are all out before watching the rest.

Because it didn't have a giant shark in it.

Re: New BSG online series, possible backdoor pilot
 
I'm going to wait until this airs on SyFy before I watch it. Personally I think it's a stupid idea to break it up into a web series.

Will probably get the BD as well since I'm a BSG completist.

It's a real shame they went Caprica but didn't pick this up.

Re: New BSG online series, possible backdoor pilot
 
Absolutely. I wanted to like Caprica sooo much; never really could.

Actually, I'm glad they passed on B&C as well--though I might feel different after seeing the whole thing.

My position: No More Prequel TV Series Ever. They're fucking pointless.
