Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance

[Eway]

Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance webisodes started this week on Scifi.com.

http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/

There is a new short episode every Tuesday and Thursday until the season premier Oct. 6, 2006.

Eway, thank you! Those webisodes are good stuff!

I dunno if anyone needs a spoiler alert for the webisodes, but here's one, just in case:

***SPOILERS***

I'm jacked to see that Tigh's part of the resistance. The potential for tension among the resistance, the collaborators, and the Cylon-backed human police is interesting. And I like the relevance of the line "Some things you don't do. Not even in war."

But the chief's beard looks a bit Riker-esque.

Agreed. Now, the REAL human dramas begin. Who's a rebel? Who's a collaborator? Who's gonna fetch President Baltar a fresh martini?

Im not at all sure how they're gonna bring the Batlestars bakc into the fray.

Unless they pick up a couple thousand fresh crewmen, and some more warships, they don't have a chance.

I'm so excited for the new season. I just watched episode 220 and I'm most anxious to see how Baltar and Caprica Six will interact. She's totally still in love with him.

[Brown Rat]

True. But Cylon love is a twisted thing. Although she's certainly become far more human and less Cylon. It will be strange for Baltar to have to deal with her in the flesh, after all this time dealing with her in fantasy. He's not got a very strong grasp on reality . . .

I'm also wondering about the status of the Cylon-human breeding project. Have the Cylons given that up? Or will they start messing with the human women as they were doing back on occupied Caprica?

[Brown Rat]

I just watched the fourth webisode. Trigger-happy Cylons = nasty.

The webisode FAQs say that people outside the U.S. can't view the videos right now, because of legal reasons. Bummer.

[Eway]

I just watched the fifth webisode. Does anyone know what the red-headed guys name is? I'm thinking he's going to become a collaborator.

[I, Brian]

I can't see any of them, or the full episode - I keep getting an error that says that it cannot be viewed from my location.

I guess the Sci-fi channel forgot it's selling Galactica in the UK as well. Maybe not on TV, but on DVD.

Maybe scifi.com don't want to tempt people in the UK into a purchase?

I downloaded the first two on mininova.org. They are probably all there if you want to give it a try.

[Brown Rat]

The red-headed widower's name is Duck. And I see why you're thinking he might become a collaborator. He's got good reason to hate the resistance. But then again, he's got good reason to hate the Cylons, too.

Debating whether or not to make a stereotype but...the saying..."red-headed step-child" the one most persecuted often turns on his peers...but comes around in the end. Wow...did I just piece together a main part of Season threes plot?
