Title: BSG: The Resistance
Post by: Axem on September 05, 2006, 06:36:34 pm
Looks like the run up to S3 has begun. :D They've begun releasing the webisode series "The Resistance" on scifi.com. Looks like they'll be short, but they're going to release them twice a week until S3 starts.

The video should start playing right away. If not, its in the videos section.

Alternate YouTube Link if its too slow

That was surprisingly entertaining, even if it was only three and a half minutes long. Tyrol's beard is so cool. :yes:

That was good... though I'm not getting to it via the official pages, so I had to watch it on YouTube, and the voice quality wasn't the best of worlds, so I didn't quite comprehend all they spoke.

Chief Tyrol's beard makes him look like a real resistance fighter. Not a small resemblance to certain Fidel's beard... :lol:

It was cool to see some new scenes. You kinda get an impression of the life after the Cylon invasion.


On the other hand it was rather dissapointing. Nothing happened and it was way too short. :(


But I guess I'll watch the other ones anyway. ;)

It was good but for some reason I was struck by the feeling that "This is all on a soundstage" :(

Which is quite odd since it's the exact same place they filmed the final 20 minutes of LDYB2, which quite obviously wasn't a soundstage.

Did anyone else get the feeling? Because especially that tent scene, it was like they were on a stage.

Maybe I'm just crazy...

no, it was real, BSG is God, do not diverge from the party line.

It was good. I can't say I was too excited about the premise; at first it sounded like the webisodes were only going to be available on iTunes, so it's nice to see I was wrong about that...

However, the 3.5 minute format really lacks the ability to put together a very interesting story right from the start, because of the time constraints. I imagine that somewhere around the 3rd or 4th episode it'll get more interesting.

I hope O'Moore (sp?), Rymer and his mates have a decent ending planned for this series. I don't want it to be one of these shows that goes on forever until it's cancelled and then tries to wrap everything up in two episodes at the last minute.

:wtf: ...It's a set number of episodes, meaning that logic would dictate they've got an ending somewhat planned out.

I believe he means BSG as a whole, not just S3.

Oooooooh, gotcha. Confused me a little when he said 'series' instead of 'season'.

On that, he makes a good point, as SG-1 quite possibly will demonstrate.

'series' = Battlestar Galactica as a whole
'season' = a group of ~22 episodes, BSG season 3 is going to be starting this October

I wasn't able to tell if you were getting the two mixed up or if you just misread the word in the post.

When he said "I hope they have an ending planned for this series", I assumed that he meant the Resistance Webisode series as this is indeed the thread about said series, but it seems as though he meant it as BSG as a whole, to which I concluded he meant 'season' [another false conclusion, but I was already somewhat confused as that point].

It was just bad wording on his part, and misunderstanding what he was alluding to on my part, I am already fully aware of the distinction between 'series' and 'season'.

Oic, sorry then.

Bah, come to think of it, this would have been an excellent use for the mysterious 'P M' feature.

Just search for "webisode galactica", plenty of others to watch from.

Seriously, they need a good 5 minutes per episode to make this worthwhile, as it just ends before anything really happens and before the viewer can get into it. They had the same problem with Clone Wars, but when they upped the time to around 5 minutes apiece, the difference was almost palpable.

Yeah except for the one in which Windu destroys the entire droid army with and without his lightsaber. 5 minutes of that was F*****g rediculous. And boring.

Overall though they ate up a good bit of college lectures.

For those not in the know, episode 2 is up. Their releasing them every Tuesday and Thursday until the season premire. Anyways, Google Video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4684465321439612747&q=battlestar+galactica) has episode 2 up. Its subtitled in French too, so I think these are availible outside the US....

Wow, they really are calling it "The Resistance" I thought that was just sci-fi TV commercial hype.

Personally I would have called it "BSG: Bend over and take it"... Seriously you bet there's going to be lots of resistance cause the Cylons didn't bring any lube!  ;)

The Colonials are fraked seven ways from Sunday...

Why not look? My pic is MUY SEXY!!! (self deluded...) "Just don't touch..."


Now, you DO realise there are a lot of PISSED OFF Cylons who can basicly do anything they want to the Colonial fleshbags trapped on "New Caprica", or should I say "Cylon Stalag 13" (the Colonies are Stalag 1-12).

And WHY do I get a horrbile feeling I will see episodes of "Hogan's" Heroes parodied?

Its balls that we can't get the webisodes...we get BSG here in Canada too but SCIFI doesn't show their webisodes to Canadian IP's from what I can tell.

Looks like all the webisodes on youtube were taken down. Guess I'll have to wait till October 6th for my BSG fix :(
