Living in a Virtual World.

Battlestar Gallactica's new virtual sets are mentioned in this recent interview.

There were no sets. This happened because of the shape of the economy. Building sets for a television show like TNG or the last Battlestar Galactica is just prohibitively expensive.  No one wants to take that chance. Besides, the way the networks have been doing business lately, it's kind of bizarre. They'll cancel a show after one episode.

If a show doesn't perform right out of the gate, they cancel it. In the day when you thought a show would be kept on the air for a year, you might take a chance because you think it will develop an audience over time. With the current network mindset, there's no chance of building an audience, when after one or two episodes, it's canceled. It's just impossible. So, they want make a show as inexpensively as possible, so if it's canceled after one or two episodes, no one gets their head chopped off.

What the heck has happened to Blood and Chrome? I've been looking forward to that.

Same here - been waiting forever for this one.  Sounds promising.

IMDB has a Feb 2012 release date for the pilot.

io9 update says the series may not make it to tv as planned. Hope that's not the case.
