Battlestar Galactica: the Resistance.
Sep. 22nd, 2006 11:21 pmSoooo, I've been catching up and watching the Battlestar Galactica webisodes (these little two minute things they're using to tide us over till season three, except near as I can tell a labour dispute prevented them from being released until it practically *is* season three, and SciFi.com have region-locked it or summat so I have to resort to nefarious sources to get a hold of them).
They're okay. That's my considered opinion.
I am enough of a BSG junkie that I'm pathetically grateful for the little they're giving us and I totally appreciate the huge amounts of effort that went into this thing.
I'm also very sympathetic to the constraints of time and budget, and think that using these things as a way to give a deeper backstory to smaller characters but not so much as to make the series unwatchable otherwise, is awesome.
( Not particularly relevant rant about how Season 2.5 could have benefited from Webisodes )
Anyway, the point is, it's a great idea that I have complete respect for.
That said, they're okay.
( 'Okay' in slightly more depth, including the 'THERE'S THE BSG I MISSED!' moment of joy. )
Yeah. Webisodes. They're okay.
