Ever since Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome was announced some time back, it was first going to be a web series, which then became a TV pilot and possible series, and then it was unknown… due to several cost factors.

Back in September, it was again back to probably being a web series

Now, finally, it seems, through some almost non-news, that Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome will premiere as a 90-minute TV pilot movie, but then, it will become a “groundbreaking digital series.”

Whoo-hoo!

Wait…  there’s more.  Or maybe less now.
