BSG: Blood and Chrome

Well, the idea there is that they aren't actually making the muzzle loaders. There are God only knows how many of those things kicking about. I own a couple myself. Well, one is a cap and ball, as opposed to a flintlock, but you take my meaning. You can buy a brand new one anytime you want.

I actually buy the premise of going back to black powder weapons. All you need is lead and powder, which are easy. The machining and chemistry to produce brass casings, percussion primers, and jacketed bullets isn't something that would be reinvented at a 19th century level after so little time (and widespread societal collapse). We've frankly lost our ability to quickly rebuild a steam powered industry. The pre-electricity knowledge base is simply dead. We'd literally have to reinvent the steam engine at that scale. Only place where steam is still widely used is power plants.

Give them another 20 years or so, and they'd probably get their legs back under them to that extent. Pretty sure with only a decade going buy its still back-to-survival more than anything.

The writing on that show is pretty lazy though. Poorly written villains. Clunky dialogue.

Or at least just reload the large supply of casing that already exist.

the lens flare is a bit distracting but it wasn't that bad

syfy is a terrible network though. they destroyed caprica and that was a good series. probably not that big of budget either. but they need their archnomegacroc vs flyingshark movies

okay, there was a lot in caprica. and maybe that was too much, i can agree. i liked it though... my favorite type of book these days is the space opera. huge multiple story arcs that come together at the end of the novel for a satisfying conclusion

but what syfy did was first, they split the season since... that's what shows do now for ????? reason. then, upon the second half of the season, they didn't announce it. i know. i was checking syfy's website. it was supposed to be months later. luckily my dvr taped it and i realized it was on again and i was able to see it. then they changed the day it was on every week for a few weeks then decided the ratings were too low (even though, during THIS time of syfy literally trying to kill it, its ratings were better than season 1 of madmen) so they gave it the axe
