It isn't guaranteed yet, just a posibilitty. Also, it looks like Caprica is going to get a second series:

Personally, if it happens, I expect it to probably be in the first Cylon War. A prequel to Battlestar Galactica, and a Sequel to Caprica.
Seeming this is one of the places with Battlestar fans, i figured this was a good place to post this above link. Although, the more spin off series there are, the more work the Diaspora team will need to do :nervous:
-
This is definitely a good place to post this. A 1st Cylon war series would be expensive in terms of effects work needed - but they state that "it may not be a classic series format". If I'm reading that right they may be considering some mini series format with 1-1.5 hour "episodes" or effectively movies to show the 1st war. We'll see if anything comes off of it. Glad Caprica is getting another season, though. Even tho I had reservations initially it's turning out to be quite good. Looks like SyFy is less silly then FOX even with the new silly name :)
-
It could be interesting to base the series in Kobol, or the first earth. Though everyone wants to see the 1st cylon war. With a good 10 years or so of war, there'd be plenty of stories.
-
More like 12.. but yea.
-
I have to say, I wouldn't mind it being movies. The 2 Stargate movies released a couple of years ago seemed to be good, so maybe a spin off series using movies could be quite cool. Assume Syfy is willing to give them the kind of budget they need.
-
Well a series would be better because we'd simply get more out of that. But failing that movies would be pretty awesome too. I'd pretty much take the 1st Cylon War in any format I can get it :)
No guarantees they're going with 1CW though.
-
Definitely. A re-imagined First Cylon War series with RDM at the helm would be awesome.
I almost want to stop thinking about it straight away in case it never happens...
-
Or it could be about the Final Five on the first Earths cylon war. Or about the war with the kobolalian cylons. If its set on kobol we could find out what the Lords of Kobol actually were. My guess is a race of god like aliens. AKA fallen angels.

Personally, I think the Kobolian gods are strongly superhuman post-singularity AIs, while the Cylon god is an emergent function of the giant network the Cylons are running.
-
Then how do you explain the "angels"?
-
Who gives a ****? I want to see baseships on fire. Give me 1CW.

:yes:
-

Weakly superhuman AIs, spawned by the network in an effort to ensure the networks continued existence, and eventual evolution into an optimal AI.
-
But Baltar wasnt a Cylon and therefor not an A.I so that cant be it. Plus how do you explain Starbuck?
Also I do agree 1cw would be awesome. Ever since Razor ive been dying to see more.
-
I hope it will be FCW related, but there's a chance we see big G only from afar, and it most likely takes place on another Battlestar, or, also possible it doesn't focus on one Battlestar ( or the crew of it ).
To bad they scrapped the Galactica set already, but it's still possible to bring the old Ladys interior ( or another BS of that type ) back via CGI.
If it's not a FCW movie/ show, i'd prefer to see the fall of Kobol and the first Exodus.
Watching the fall of the ( Cylon ) Earth would be too similar to Caprica and the attack on the Colonies.

If watching the fall of the cylon Earth would be a bit too much like Caprica, surely the fall of Kobol and the first Exodus would be a bit too much like Battlestar Galactica?
-

I 100% agree
-
It pretty much has to be the first Cylon war - all the others are too close to other shows.
-
And we already have one thats about what happens on our Earth.Its called Terminator.
-
1CW would be awesome. I really want to see some gratuitous space battles of basestars and battlestars blowing the **** out of each other. I just hope the producers outsource the CGI to Zoic instead of doing it in-house.

A show focussing on a few different crews on different Battlestars would be epic, although it may be cost prohibitive.
Damn it, I'm already thinking about it too much!
-
Galactica's class was pretty common during the 1st war and probably made the bulk of the battlestar fleet. Even if they don't show the Galactica herself too often (don't see why they wouldn't since they got her ready) you can't have the 1st cylon war without that ship class.

I think the Galactica would probably be the most common ship, seeming they already have the Galactica CGI model :P. Probably woudlnt be too hard to put other names on it instead though. Also, the have the Columbia battlestar model too that they used in Razor. Similar tot he Galactica, just differing in some ways. Furthermore,t hey have the TOS cylon raider and basestar models, so CGI wise, they lready have plenty of the larger more impotant ships we'd see. ASSUMEING they didnt delete said models :P
-
I doubt anyone at either ZOIC or in-house was dumb enough to Babylon 5 the models.
-
Ah, it took me ages to figure out what you meant there. yeah, they deleted all the Babylon 5 materials, then decided they wanted to go make more Babylon 5 and ran into a sliiight problem.
Hopefully, the CGI folks wheren't that dumb :P

IIRC, they still had some of the models used in B5, have to check the making ofs of The Lost Tales DVD, just to be sure.
-
Talk about a mixture of feelings... On one hand it would be EPIC on the other BWO or TVWP would be EPIC... "OH SNAP!"
I'm just excited because the NETWORK is asking Ron... please be up to it! :D
-
If the show is going to take place on another battlestar during the 1cw mabey its the Battlestar Enterprise.Just a thought.And if its a Galactica class ship im sure it wouldnt be a problem to rebuild the set.They did it in the Star Trek shows all the time.
You know what would be better than even another BSG show?A good BSG game.We had a crappy arcade style bsg game and a demo of a game that was never finished.
-
well, we're already getting a BRILLIANT game, and you know this :D otherwise, you wouldnt be in this forum
-
There's also a browser based mmo in dev.

Gee, I finally have hope there will be a good BSG video game besides Diaspora...
// end sarcasm
-
Yea we know about it. Somehow the words "browser based" and "MMO" don't inspire much confidence in me. Knowing how the last official game turned out.. let's just say I have my doubts :)
-
Doubts are fine but let's not start having a go at the new game until we have a little more to base it on. The problem with the last one wasn't so much what they did as the fact that it had very little to do with the actual show and made very poor use of the resources it had available.
Let's hope that the team behind this game have more sense. (And lets hope that management doesn't hobble the game like happened last time).
-
When you say browser based mmo BSG game are you talking about the Caprican?I wouldnt necessarily call that an mmo or a game.Sure its for roleplaying but theres not really a game aspect to it.
-
Even if Sci-Fi (now SyFy, sorry, still not used to it) says no, they could always go to Studio6, maybe for a mini-series of 3 2 hours straight to DVD movies... IIRC, Studio6 is behind the 3rd Starship Troopers movie (a straight to DVD movie, which is better than the 2nd one IMO).
-
I am really getting tired of this TV series model that all shows, including Caprica, have adapted.
These 'mid-season' finales are offensive to me. The only purpose they serve is to break the seasons up for DVD sales. I will be very upset if I have to pay a sum of $90 for Season 1 and season 1.5 of Caprica.
-
The breaking up of seasons, like they did with BSG season 4 (which is broken up into what they call season 4 and 5, essentially a 4th season in two parts), is pretty lame. That said I ordered both parts of season 4 from amazon recently (what they call seasons 4 and 5) and both cost me about 30$, shipping included. So yea it's lame but you really went overboard with the 90$ price. I seriously doubt you'd have to pay near enough even for blurays.
-
In store, seasons 4 and 4.5 are both $45 each
-
That would be why you need to find stores that don't charge MSRP. :p
