A couple of years back, I wrote about the best show of the 2000s (IMHO). In that post, I had said that thanks to the DVD, you can see the show whenever you want.
Now, you also have the option of seeing it on Netflix Instant, Amazon Instant Video, and iTunes, although it's been on iTunes for a few years.
Since then, there have been some new releases from the Battlestar franchise. In Fall of 2009, The Plan, which told the story of the genocide of the 12 colonies from the Cylon point of view, was released on DVD. It was a great movie that showed how incredibly rich the BSG universe is, and how many great stories there are.
In 2010, Caprica premiered on the SyFy channel. A prequel set 58 years before the 2004 series, it was intended to show the life of the colonists before and during the creation of the Cylons. However, the ratings were abysmal despite the solid story telling a,d plot and it was cancelled after its first season.
Last year, SyFy commissioned a new show called Blood and Chrome. This show was going to follow the early career of Bill Adama, the erstwhile Commander and later Admiral of the fleet of ships trying to find Earth.
Although the trailer looks incredible, the network chose not to pick it up as a series, although there are rumors they're going to show the pilot after all. I will say this for the SyFy Network. If anyone knows how to screw up and kill a show better than them, I have yet to see it.
Anyway, look for BSG and Caprica on streaming video services...
