Snow, monsters and shiny robots feature heavily in the first artwork to appear for Battlestar Galactica: Blood And Chrome…
Caprica may be dead, but that has not stopped SyFy from continuing to flog the BSG horse. Whether it pays off remains to be seen, but the promise of a return to CAPs, DRADIS contacts and Vipers will be a feast for those bored by Caprica's religious posturing.
If you don't yet know, Blood And Chrome will chronicle the adventures of a young William Adama during the tenth year of the first Cylon war.
According to an earlier press release, here's what we have to look forward to:
"Ensign William Adama, barely in his 20s and a recent Academy graduate, finds himself assigned to the newest Battlestar in the Colonial fleet, the Galactica. The talented but hot-headed risk-taker soon finds himself leading a dangerous top secret mission that, if successful, will turn the tide of the decade long war in favor of the desperate fleet."
It will be interesting to see how they do this, considering Bill 'Husker' Adama's first mission was seen in Battlestar Galactica: Razor and represented the last battle of the First Cylon War.
Anyway, Blastr.com has released the first four pieces of concept art for the new series, and it looks good.
We're curious to see how the new look Cylons fit into their evolution and what new direction the show will take the mythology, but it seems to be adhering to producer David Eick's promise of an "authentic, relentless depiction of combat" as well as "the agony and ecstasy of human-Cylon war, which was the hallmark of Battlestar Galactica's early seasons."
