Battlestar Galactica webisodes

[Alucard]

The 10 Web segments, each just a few minutes long and viewable on devices ranging from iPods to laptops to desktops to full-size television sets, feature characters from the television show. And they have the same dark feel of broadcast episodes of ?Galactica,? a post-apocalyptic survival tale of humans on the run after their home planets have been destroyed.

The mini-episodes will go online, one at a time, on Tuesday and Thursday nights until ?Galactica?s? season premiere on Oct. 6. They focus on two soldiers in a new city built by humans fleeing Cylons, a race of machines that has wiped out human civilization elsewhere.

Link to NYT story. Series 3 of the broadcast edition airs on October 6. New webisodes go online every Tuesday and Thursday until then.

Looks like the Times got one detail wrong: the BSG webisodes are only available on the network's "Sci Fi Pulse" -- a Flash-based broadband site. They're not made available for viewing on iPods due to legal restrictions, according to a SciFi spokesperson. Of course, determined and tech-savvy users could certainly hack the content for that purpose if they really wanted to.

If you havent watched the new BSG series 'remake' yet, you need to be shot.

The new show is so much better than a remake of Battlestar Galactica has any right to be it's not even funny.

I really need to get caught up, I got season 1 and it kicks more than a little ass.

If you thought season 1 was awesome, Season 2 is beyond legendary. Gaius owns.

I tried to watch one of the webisodes last night and it wouldn't work.
