New details on the BSG prequel ‘Blood & Chrome’

Producers for the proposed prequel series "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome" have begun the process of casting for the series. Casting calls have gone out to casting agencies and io9 recently got their hands on some of the pages which they say may come from the actual script. Here is just a small excerpt from their article [SPOILERS]:

So the arc of Blood and Chrome is the first mission for a young William Adama, a green pilot just out of training. Over the course of his first week on the job, Adama loses his innocence and discovers that things in war are more complicated than he’d believed when he signed up. The story starts at the end, with the battle-haunted William Adama looking up in a stained Colonial uniform under a tattered parka, with a "thousand yard stare," as a voiceover talks about you find out who you are in wartime, both the good parts and the bad parts… and we all get what’s coming to us.

There’s much more at io9, but here’s how the site closes their article:

The best thing I can say about Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome is that it feels like BSG. More than the BSG TV movies, more than Caprica, this feels like the gritty, intense show about real characters in impossible situations that we fell in love with. Of course, this time around, we’ll know how everything turns out in advance — but the journey may actually be pretty gods-damned compelling, judging from these pages.

I wonder why their trying hard to keep BSG alive when Caprica failed. Tho not surprised as it wasnt really sci fi imo.

If this is set as a half space opera and half planet side (kinda trek style) then this might be decent.

All depends on the cast imo as caprica has a crap cast.
