New 'Battlestar Galactica' Spinoff Series, 'Blood & Chrome,' to Bring Back Cylon/Human Conflict

Battlestar Galactica is one of the greatest science fiction shows of all time. Since it also takes place in such a vast world, it makes sense that the studio would want to make spin-off series based on the show. They are currently doing that with Caprica, but that series is vastly different from BSG and has experienced uneven quality. What fans seem to want is another series that engages you both intellectually and emotionally (only the former half of which Caprica seems to have accomplished) and that is more military-oriented, like BSG. We heard a few months ago that Syfy was considering the possibility of another spin-off. Now it looks like we'll be getting that.

The Sci-fi Serial Returns with 'The Mercury Men'

Among the classic works that science fiction has given our culture are the black and white, serialized exploits of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, and Captain Video. You know the format: main character fights bad guys in futuristic sci-fi adventures guaranteed to end in cliffhangers.
