Animated series?

[DrWho42]

Anyone ever thought about how, if Sci Fi greenlit an animated series of BSG, it should be made?

I think there are several possibilities since animated shows aren't as bound by budget as live-action shows, but then there isn't really very many serious animated shows out there that I know of that aren't predominately comedy, i.e. South Park, The Simpsons, &c (aside from, I suppose, anime)..
I also really don't want them to water it down for younger audiences (i.e. Sci Fi re-launching The Animation Station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Animation_Station), their old Saturday morning cartoon block, with BSG: The Animated Series as its flagship show).

I'm doubtful that it will ever happen, seeing since Sci Fi didn't pick up fantastic (imo) pilot of "The Amazing Screw-On Head (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5434666681046246946&q=The+Amazing+Screw-On+Head)" for a series (I still loathe their choice to this day) and their decision to make "Eureka" a live-action show since it would reach a broader audience.

Hm. The most immediate problem I can think of is that, still, in America, animated shows are considered for juveniles.

The biggest problem is practicality in terms of that believed audience. There are more successful shows. By that logic, why haven't we've seen "Lost: The Animated Series," or "Firefly: The Animated Series" or "Heroes: The Animated Series," or "CSI: Yes, We're An Animated Show, Too"?

BSG is more character than action-driven. While if it were made by anime company (who often take animation and characterization/plot seriously) the results could be nice. But this BSG series is wrapping up. Any other stories would be rather superfluous given that most, if not all major plot points between the Cylons and humans would have been resolved by season 4's end. Showing another ship and their quests seems odd to me.

An animated series might actually be a nice idea since, as mentioned, there are no budget constraints. But maybe it could focus on something like the first cylon war, sort of like a prequel.

interesting idea of the first cylon war. star wars is also going the same direction in 2008 (this year) and its going to cover the clone wars sort of off topic but wat ever
