When Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica ended, it was announced that the new season wouldn’t be starting until October, which seemed a long way away.
Well, the time is almost upon us, and SciFi is now ramping up to the new season by releasing a set of ten webisodes that advance the story by bridging Seasons 2 and 3. (CHT to the reader who e-mailed!)
The webisodes are being released twice a week, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday at noon Eastern, and they tell the story of the developing resistance movement, chafing under Cylon rule on New Caprica. In fact, the title of the webisode series seems to be "The Resistance."
Thus far, three webisodes have been released, so there are seven more to go.
YOU CAN VIEW THEM HERE.
(minor bad language warning.)
If you need a refresher on what’s happened in the story so far or haven’t yet watched BSG,
YOU CAN GET A 3-MINUTE VIDEO RECAP HERE (WHICH ALSO HAS A PREVIEW OF SEASON 3).
Incidentally, when Season 2 finished, I made some predictions about what would happen in Season 3.
LET’S SEE HOW ACCURATE I WAS.
This post of JimmyAkin.Org is brought to you by the letter "R," the number "5," and the word "webisode."
And for those of you who have been patiently waiting for the second season of Dr Who as well, Sci-Fi is airing that starting September 29, beginning with a bridge episode that aired during Christmas 2005 and then following with the second season episodes. Just thought I’d add that to this string….
Hey Jimmy – have you gotten through the 1st season DVD yet of DW? You posted on it awhile back and said you hadn’t seen all the entire DVD at the time of your post.
