There Will Be Webisodes

Ah sweet nectar of the sweetest nectary sort - happy Battlestar Galactica news from io9 today:

"When Battlestar Galactica makes its long-awaited comeback next year, it won't just be our television screens that it's returning to. In a recent interview, executive producer David Eick revealed that fans can expect more The Resistance-style minisodes, as well.

Talking to Newsarama, Eick admitted that webisodes are definitely part of the plan for Battlestar's final season:

Yes, we are doing webisodes but when they are premiering I am not positive. Like the webisodes we have done before, they will continue on the story threads that don’t make the cut. I don’t want to give too much away but they are going to follow the same paradigm as we’ve done before.

That paradigm would presumably be The Resistance, the 2006 online-only 10-part lead-in to Galactica's third season, and the Razor "flashbacks" that trailed last year's one-off movie. Does this mean that you'll only get the full story behind why this has all happened before and will all happen again if we tune in online?"

This reminded me - I vividly remember seeing the Resistance webisodes, but I think I might've missed the Razor ones. WTF is wrong with me? Five thousand lashes with a Cylon cord for me. Right now is when I go see if said webisodes can be found online. Or... I wait, like a lazy bitch, to see if anyone offers me a link to them. Hmm... decisions...

ETA I remember seeing them now. They were right there on the DVD, and I watched them in one big chunk, unlike the Resistance ones that I waited for on a weekly basis, and that's why my memory is fuzzy. Silly me! Do carry on...
