The folks behind Syfy’s upcoming “Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome” appear to be hard at work dreaming up cool concepts and creatures for the “Battlestar Galactica” prequel series. The network has released four concept images teasing slick looking cylons, aliens, and Lucy Lawless topless with naked slave girls … oh wait, that last one is “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.”

The synopsis for “Blood and Chrome” reads:

Ensign William Adama, barely in his 20’s and a recent Academy graduate, finds himself assigned to the newest battlestar in the Colonial fleet … the Galactica. The talented but hot-headed risk-taker soon finds himself leading a dangerous top secret mission that, if successful, will turn the tide of the decade long war in favor of the desperate fleet.

For those of you who were busy getting laid, William Adama was played by Jaime Escalante Edward James Olmos in Syfy’s original “Battlestar” series. Here’s hoping the prequel series gives us some much needed background on Adama’s horrible pockmarks.

A two-hour movie will kick off the series in late 2011 or early 2012.
