After a tumultuous few hours yesterday, fan of Battlestar Galactica are still reeling over A) how awesome that trailer was and B) SyFy’s decision to not move it forward as a television series.  Fans took to Twitter voicing both their excitement over how awesome the trailer was and also how disappointed they are in SyFy’s decision.  I’ve compiled a baker’s dozen of tweets showing how amped up fans got after watching, and also the flip side….the utter disgust at the news handed down by SyFy.  The build up and let down is awfully familiar.  Where have I seen this before?  Oh yeah….ON BATTLESTAR GALACTICA WHEN THEY FOUND EARTH ONLY TO FIND IT WAS A NUCLEAR WASTELAND AND UNINHABITABLE!!!!!!  Ahem….anyway….check out these tweets.  Maybe SyFy is listening so share with your friends.

***Update***

According to Blastr, SyFy has decided that Blood & Chrome will indeed be a television movie and a web series.  I hope that if it does go this route the series will be available on more outlets than just the SyFy website.  Something like Netflix or Hulu would be great.

Let’s start out with the excited tweets shall we?

Amaze-balls.....I love it.

I couldn't stop watching either dude....

Yes....yes it was.

You are....officially right sir!

Apparently no one is listening dammit!

Ok....this was my favorite tweet......

Now for the other side.  Some of these are more of a plea.  I do hope they are heard. The others are just….well, you’ll see.  They’re pissed ok?

Unfortunately it's not the first time they've done this & won't be the last.

Perhaps we should bombard the SyFy offices with toasters?

SyFy...you could have gotten a fan back. Not now though. Your bad.

Just hoping they give it a chance....

Anything BSG is best viewed on a television. Plain and simple.

That is the question....

SyFy...he finds your lack of faith disturbing

There are TONS of tweets out there regarding this topic.  Search the hash-tags #BloodandChrome, #BSG, #Blood&Chrome if you want to find more.  As of right now we can only hope that SyFy will air the pilot at some point.  Maybe if the ratings are high enough they could be persuaded to change their minds.  It’s doubtful but hey, a girl can dream right?  So say we all.
