Options picked up, no "official" word on series commit.
Odd way of playing the cards...they're probably finalizing the per-episode budget, or some such thing.

And I too think that they are working out the details. Hopefully there will be final news soon :)
I think it's safe to ass-u-me it's a go. :)
:eek:
I would like to know what kind of result there could have been if they would have had that much of money to make B5.

Weren't they complaining about Farscape costing 1 million per episode to produce?
SciFi is owned byUniversal
[B]Yeah, but there was also the issue where they didn't actually [i]own[/i] Farscape. Is the same true for BSG? [/B][/QUOTE]
Umm...Scifi does own Farscape. They paid for the damn thing, and own all rights to it.
With BSG, however, if Universal owns both Sci-fi and the show itself, Sci-fi doesn't have to worry so much about recouping losses spent on producing the show. All the money ends up going to Universal/Vivendi (HATE HATE HATE), anyway.
amazing....:eek:
[B]WHOW....Farscape cost one mil and episode, and it STILL looked that cruddy?!?
amazing....:eek: [/B][/QUOTE]
The original BSG costs were the same, and they had to re-use footage all the time. :rolleyes:
[B]Farscape was always beautiful. They had some amazing lighting and CGI, and still incredible muppet-like characters [/B][/QUOTE]
Yeah, remember I,ET and the bit with Moya "landing"? Simply AMAZING.

At the time, it was the most expensive TV show ever, and i've read somewhere, that if you'd convert it into the current dollar value, it would be something like 3 million dollar per episode! (still, there are some of the best modellshots i've seen in there, some of the viper shots are just brilliantly beautiful)
Couldn't resist. :p :D

Where most of that was spent on the visual effects. If you looked at the sets, it looks like they just slapped apple II E systems into the panels and ran a screen saver. ;) Same thing with Farscape. GREAT CGI, but they skimped a little on the sets. However, given that Farscape was mainly to push more Henson anamatronics into mainstream media, I'd say it was justified.
A#### just seems to have it engrained in his head that just because a show has a budget of $1 million automatically mean that the set and everything is going to look top notch. He forgets that most of that goes into wages and graphical effects.
However, if A#### had bothered to watch the entire show upto say...season 3, he'd notice there was a dramatic improvement in not only set design, but CGI as well.

not only that, but they used the same "radar garaphic" over and over, and only in episode 13 (or something) they actually made a second radar display... :)
[B]Battlestar Gaglactica.
