The children of humanity will rise...

Kevin Murphy reveals at SDCC what could have been for Caprica

I'm still very bitter about the cancellation (and I'm feeling the same sting with the fate of Warehouse 13), so just hearing their plans for what we could have seen just makes me sad and angry all over again. It was just never given the proper chance to develop and grow on its own and was royally screwed over by the network in general. And to think, even if the show only lasted two seasons, the second season sounded like it would have been a great segway into Blood & Chrome with their plans on the progression of the beginnings of the First Cylon War. But nope. *sigh*

On the bright side though, the soundtrack for Caprica is now available for purchase! After all this time waiting and wondering if it would ever be released, it's finally out in an exclusive two-disc pack. This beauty will be in my hands soon enough, no doubt.

Another sidenote: Bear McCreary will be composing for Agents of SHIELD. Give this musical genius all the shows already. ♥

Bear McCreary is amazing. I can't think of anyone more perfect for Agents of SHIELD. The only tv composer of equal quality is Ramin Djawadi, and I don't think his style is right for Agents of SHIELD.

Could you imagine Bear and Ramin combining their musical masterminds together and creating something out of this world? I think that would be phenomenal. *_*

Oh. That is effing depressing to know. Just stab me in the chest a few more times to make it worse.

I recently watched Blood & Chrome. I thought it was supposed to be a series but they condensed it into a movie.

Seriously, just thinking about the possibilities of where the story could have gone makes it hurt. They just never took the chance on the show and when it was airing and I'm still trying to figure out why.

They went back and forth with Blood & Chrome. It was originally meant to be a webseries, then they thought about making it into an actual series, then it was unclear whether it was even going to come out at all. Until they finally decided to release it online as a short webseries before airing it all at once on Syfy as a telemovie. So yeah, it was weird. But I think it was supposed to have been longer into a continuing webseries but I guess they decided against it.

I never watched the newer Battlestar Galactica only the original. Maybe I should check it out.

YES YOU SHOULD! It's probably one of the best, if not the best, epic science fiction shows of all time imo. Amazing story, amazing actors who give phenomenal performances, all the mythology, the politics, character development and drama and the music is absolutely stunning, just everything. Trust me, you won't regret getting into the show once you start. :DDDD

::sigh:: They have SO much to work with in terms of BSG prequels and personally I just feel like they keep failing on every front :(

Syfy hasn't taken a chance on any revival of the BSG universe since the show ended. I honestly don't understand why because BSG was considered one of the greatest success of science fiction shows, and you'd think they would want to revive or preserve the stories. But it feels like Syfy doesn't think there is an audience anymore for anything BSG-related, and that's very sad.
