Only 4 minutes each? This is going to be excrutiating waiting for them all.

Anyone else having problems playing them? I get to the "episode will be played after advertisment" text and then it hangs. :?

I don't think they are avaliable outside the U.S. I tried getting to them from the Sci Fi Battlestar home page at http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/home.html and got. "We're sorry, but the clip you selected isn't available from your location. Please select another clip.

I'm sure it will be available by other means, in fact I'm certain of it.

Pretty good. Its great that they're twice a week. They'll help pass the next month nicely.

On a side note can anyone else see Tigh going totally Kurtz. Though I doubt they'll be able to send Martin Sheen after him.

Is this a spoiler thread, because I don't want to use small text.

Anyway, the statement that the Cylons claim the person with the weapons stash was reaching for a gun when they shot him is interesting. Possible reference to Centurions being able to speak to and communicate with humans?

I hope so...

pretty good, interesting new characters :) although only three minutes, so :( However, it could be longer next time!

sidenote: Have the Colonials ever managed to kill Centurions withe the sub-machine guns they have? In any episode?

Now that I think about it, I can only recall Centurion kills with either pistols or rocket pistols. And one Centurion was taken out by Caprica-Sharon on Kobol with a grenade. I've only seen up to Season 2.0 though.

So...how did the crew of the Galactica end up...nowhere near the Galactica in any way, shape, or form? Or did I miss something rather large.

Yes, you might say that.

I would HIGHLY recommend seeing the second half of season 2 before viewing any more webisodes, or even thinking about watching season 3.

The answer to your question is the culmination of multiple....things.
Sorry, can't say more without spoiling the season finale for you.

Just what exactly is the last episode you remember watching?

White Haven doesn't get cable folks. He has to wait for DVD releases, so the last episode he saw was 'Pegasus'. Don't spoil it here.

Wow, that was very very cool. And yet another proof that the nBSG team is the most willing to try new things on TV these days. Some other shows had very small online clips I belive, but nBSG is the only one which will (after all the webisodes have been shown) have a whole full lenght episode made specificly for free online.

Finally got to watch it. Thank you, youtube, because sci-fi.com is useless.

As per usual with nBSG, I'm worrying over minutae- like the Cylons finding weapons caches. Those are precious weapons that the fleet will never get back, and I highly doubt the fleet has the ability to just manufacture new firearms.

Then again, we know they can build new Vipers and new ammunition, so maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Alright you heard 'em.
Nobody spoil the season finale where Galactica finds Earth, spawning the renaming of season 3 to Galactica 2080.

I'm hoping this will be the time when Colonel Tigh gets to become the badass that he once was during the first Cylon war.. from the way it looks in the first minisode, Tyrol is gaining some measure of respect for the man he was decidely lacking in the miniseries.
