Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (Season 1)

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (2012) — watch online on iFILM. A prequel to the acclaimed BSG series, set in year ten of the First Cylon War. Ensign William Adama, just out of the Academy and played by Luke Pasqualino, expects a fighter assignment. He gets a freighter run instead.

His co-pilot Lt. Coker Fasjovik is short-timing — days from discharge and furious about the rookie. Their cargo is a civilian scientist, Dr. Becca Kelly, who won't say where they're actually going or why. The mission takes them into Cylon-controlled space, where every new piece of information about Kelly's real purpose raises the stakes further. Directed by Jonas Pate, the project also features Ben Cotton and Jill Teed.

Originally released as eight web episodes through Machinima and SyFy before being cut into a feature, Blood & Chrome works both as a standalone war story and as origin material for fans who want to see how Adama became the commander the original series begins with. Stream it online on iFILM.
