Battlestar Galactica webisodes

Alana and I are fans of the new Battlestar Galactica TV series (as opposed to the cheesy original series from the 70s and the 80s). The new season starts October 6. While looking for information about the new season of Lost, I blundered across the Battlestar Galactica "webisodes".

There are six webisodes — short episodes available only on the internet — with a couple more coming. They take place after the last episode of season 2 and before the first episode of season 3.

Here are some links:

The Battlestar Galactica home page – http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/

SciFi.com's "Pulse" broadband network – http://www.scifi.com/pulse/

The direct link to the BSG webisodes – http://www.scifi.com/pulse/

The webisodes are only about 3 to 3.5 minutes long, and that includes a 30 second preview of next season. There isn't a lot of content in the webisodes, but they are done with the same quality as the regular episodes. They introduce a couple of new characters, too. It's an interesting concept. I hope more shows do this.
