BG Blood & Chrome a go

Probably Youtube advertising, plus some product placement and whatever you call those reviews that are paid for.
 
I quite liked it. So far they've actually managed to follow continuity by not having Adama fighting the Cylons in a viper (because we saw in Razor that that happened only once; about ten minutes before the armistice).

Unfortunately they haven't managed to make his appearance fit continuity, but I suppose we can say that after this he hit the steroids and they made his face become manlier and spottier. And he took up smoking.

The CGI looks fantastic, but then that's pretty much the only aspect I had full confidence in from the start. Too many lens flares in the vastly expanded flight deck, but that might be an attempt to cover up a lack of detail, more than a "hey, lens flares are cool, right guys?!" thing.

The TOS references have gone through the roof. Original series theme tune(/Colonial anthem), Colonial ships, basestars, Cylon fighters. Very nice.

Adama's accent was a bit ropey at times. Sometimes he sounded like a New Yorker, other times he could've been my next door neighbour (who of course is not an American at all), but he did some good acting. The bit where the woman said she'd been working on the Cylons was well played.

I look forward to more.
 
Of course if his family hadn't stolen the technology from Vergis for Daniel Graystone, there never would have been any Cylons...(but he doesn't know that.)
 
I'm enjoying this so far. None of the characters seem compelling enough to carry an actual series, but as tv movie type thing it's pretty good. Thingy from Skins is less annoying than in the first episode.

The DRADIS operator on the Osiris is played by a guy who was in BSG. I can't remember his name now, but he was a Colonial officer. A sort of bulky chap who popped up here and there through the show. And was half Adama's age in BSG, so it can't be the same character.

The ghost fleet is a cool idea. Borrowed from history, I presume.

*puts on Starship Nerd hat*
The Osiris is ridiculously shiny. Like a mirror. Silly. But it has a cool looking CIC. Very submarine like.
Also, we got to see Mark III Vipers. They look exactly like the Mark II's but with shiny grey paint. Oh well. There were a few new capital ships in the fleet, so that was nice.

I'm glad they're sticking the episodes together.
 
Looks like they are filming the show in canada, lot of familier faces from Arrow and Contiunium, including bulky guy, maybe he is playing the father of the other character, or maybe you just arent meant to recognise him.

Cant get 5 and 6 to load, but caught up on the rest, not bad so far, although probably too much emphasis on ships and effects, not enough on the characters.
 
Just seen 5, crappy internet is still chugging along while 6 is paused.

Would have liked chunky guy to say "since we are going to die, can I at least squeeze your boobs till the nukes go off"

Hate to say it, but the crash into the snow was done better by the original BSG back in the 70s with a real model and a shit load of flower.
 
Yeah, a dozen of the best commados get wiped out by the cyber snakes, but one mentalist with a shotgun takes out the lot of them.
