So who's interested in knowing more about this?
Way too early to know how this will turn out, but I'm really intrigued by this so far.
I love Ronald D. Moore. Loved BSG. Really, really loved CAPRICA (though even before it debuted I doubted if many would watch it - it essentially was a blend of high-end soap and SF, sort of Dynasty meets Dark Angel, not a recipe for mass appeal). I also loved Season One of Carnivale (Season Two, after he left, not quite as much).
So I have a lot of confidence that he will do his part . . . except, he has three other shows in development. There is GALACTICA: BLOOD AND CHROME. There is the relight of THE WILD, WILD WEST for CBS (which I think actually could be pretty decent - the original show is appalling to watch today, but the concept is pretty decent, and with modern technology it could be really nifty). And he is doing a show about the Coast Guard for CBS (at least I think it is CBS, though I could be wrong), that I have to admit doesn't precisely thrill me.
I love that he is doing all these shows, but I wonder to what degree he can be involved with them given how many balls he has up in the air.
I like the concept of the show: detectives in a Harry Potter type world. And I like the casting of Stockard Channing and Jamie Bamber. We'll see who else is cast.
So I guess my attitude so far is: so far, so good. I'm really interested to see what happens next.
