BSG Webisodes: Plea to my American Comrades!

[beccatoria]

So, if anyone hasn't heard yet, Amazon has entertainingly released all the webisodes (for some reason minus the ninth, but including the tenth) on their site here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000128561

It's one of those hateful "You are not in America! You may not watch!" jobs, though. So I can't watch them.

Some kind soul has uploaded 6 - 8 onto YouTube, but no sign of the 10th (or 9th but that makes sense since I don't think 9 is up on Amazon either).

If anyone has seen the 10th webisode could you give me a summary or something? Pretty please?

(Obviously, fair warning, I am hoping for webisode spoilers in the comments!)

THANK YOU FAIR AMERICANS!

but to also have her being all EVOL on New Caprica be unlame.
Arrgh, I thought the same thing! I like her being the killer now for really fucked-up logical reasons. That she was *also* a killer on New Caprica for no apparent reason stretched it too far for me and made her kind of a caricature. EVIL IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR MOTIVATION, PEOPLE. You'd think Tricia Helfer had taught them SOMETHING by now. :p

(Then again, I still prefer my original idea where Eight plays it off like the last person she killed was the Real Killer and she was just defending herself. And it's creepy enough that Gaeta ends up killing her, but it's left disturbingly open-ended what really did happen.)

Okay, *I* was confused by the last Gaeta/Hoshi bit, but I think he's basically telling him:

a) If sekrit plan works, I'll look out for you
b) If sekrit plan doesn't work, stay away from me

But either way, I think the tone comes off a little harsh, like it would explain why they're not seen together anymore in 4.5.

She totally needs to start her own school. "Tricia Helfer's School for Motivationally Challenged Villainesses." She could like, teach them how to sekritly emote on camera when the writers weren't looking and stuff.

Your original idea is awesome! The only other way that immediately comes to mind to "save" it (I don't like assuming it'll need saving without having seen it) is if Eight's lying about having killed those people on New Caprica, and is just doing it to make it easier for Gaeta to kill her like she knows he has to because a) he knows she murdered everyone and b) she wants her sweet Gaeta to have more life-saving oxygen. Or something. Which kind of reduces her to yet another Eight desperately seeking LURVE because that's all women are GOOD FOR (arguably) but at the same time at least does so with complexity, instead of going with other easy tropes with no complexity.

Having finally seen the tenth webisode, I concur with your assessment. It didn't sound to me like it was a break-up but it did sound to me like it was a "I'm saddling up for WAR boy, and I can't take nobody with me, so keep your pretty head down and I'll come home to you. If I can (be bothered)."

Like, I'm still really happy that we have a healthy (well, at least pre-EVEN-MOAR-PTSD) homosexual relationship on the show, and that Gaeta got a nice significant other. However, I'm still concerned that both of the gay relationships we've seen have been metatextually closeted. :/
