But because the trailer is so awesome I just have to share again

FRAK, I NEED TO SEE THIS NOW!: It’s a roller coaster ride of emotions for Battlestar Galactica fans today. A trailer shown at WonderCon to the long-in-the-works prequel series Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome has found it’s way to the web, cut to Karen O’s cover of Immigrant Song that was so expertly used in the Dragon Tattoo trailer. Fans have been waiting in vain for some kind of sign that the series still exists since the two-hour pilot was greenlit in 2010. Soon after the wave of excitement over the trailer peaked, Syfy decided to crush our dreams and announce that they won’t be moving forward with the series after all. They will still air the now completed pilot as a 2 hour movie, and say a web series is still possible. Because the trailer was unofficial and should not have been shown at WonderCon in the first place copyrights had not been cleared and as fast as the trailer appeared on Youtube, it was yanked. So enjoy this while it lasts: The First UNOFFICIAL Trailer for Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome takes place in the 10th year of the first Cylon war. As the battle between humans and their creation, the sentient robotic Cylons, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, a young, talented fighter pilot, William Adama (Luke Pasqualino), finds himself assigned to one of the most powerful Battlestars in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica. Full of ambition and in pursuit of the intense action that the Cylon war promises, Adama quickly find himself at odds with Coker (Ben Cotton), the battle-weary officer to whom he reports. With 47 days left in his tour of duty, Coker desires an end to battle just as much as Adama craves the start of it. Though they clash at first, the two men forge an unlikely bond when a routine mission turns dangerous and becomes a pivotal one for the desperate fleet. Joining Pasqualino and Cotton in the cast is Lili Bordan, who will play Dr. Beka Kelly, a Ph.D. who worked for Graystone Industries that created the Cylon robots. Currently assigned to a secret military mission, Beka and Adama quickly establish a rapport.
