dunno if you will be able to see them in europe ...... if you have broadband american scifi chain can be found easily enough , just google "tvu"  and get the player..... but it does mean you need to be up late at night or early in the morning lol , yawns......

It's the internet, easy enough to get them anywhere in the world.

a lot of streaming direct from companys , cbs etc has an ip block on them so if your not in the usa or a specific area you cant get the stream , yes you can try and use a proxy but this can be a very hit and miss and lengthy process ,

 im english and live in france and there are many programs i would like to see and sporting events ,
 i use a few different programs for this and have spent many hours in forums and searching the net , i looked at the link posted above , on the same page there are links within the scifi site to watch old episodes of bsg these i am blocked from viewing because of my ip address ............
  so sometimes its easy and sometilmes it not and occasionaly its impossible,

AH! Revelation! I knew Gaeta was into dudes; that totally explains his Baltar issues. And Omni thought he was a cylon. I love being right.

THEY ARE ADORABLE.

Gaeta's been obvious since season 1, with the way he mooned over Baltar.

You throw ADORABLE around allot General first Androgeos Exeunt, now Hoshi and Gaeta :P.  And besides he could still be as Caboose once said "a gay robot".

Right so, question,

Spoiler:
Is the 8 who says 'Don't you recognise me Felix? It's me!', just Athena on a day out or Boomer saying hi (although I'm pretty sure she's still off with Cavil) or is it another 5 that Gaeta got busy with and then was ****ed over by or didn't know she was a Cylon (yeah, not likely I know) and in his rejection turmoil thought he'd check out the cock?

Not that I'm saying gay men only exist as a result of having had a disaster hetro relationship, although I'm sure there are such people. No, I'm all for gay couples. In fact, Galactica could make that the focus of this season's social commentary. Have Adama marry Gaeta and Hoshi.

With tax breaks equal to Helo and Athena! Horray, everyone wins!

Except single people.

Edit: A model 8, my bad.

I'm guessing there's no sexual link between that Eight and Gaeta, but it could be really interesting if they were romantically linked.

Maybe they worked together on New Caprica? That's the most likely place Gaeta could've hobnobbed with a bunch of Eights.

I did see at least one kiss in that preview montage at the beginning of the first webisode, which was probably Gaeta/Eight. So maybe he is bi, and was in a relationship with this Eight on New Caprica?

AH. REVELATION.

Remember when Baltar whispered in Gaeta's ear? "Hey, what about...?" And Gaeta was all OH NO YOU DIDN'T and stabbed him in the neck? Maybe Baltar was reminding him of his relationship with this Eight.

I'm pretty certain it's not Athena or Boomer.

I'd be plenty happy if he was bi -- there are very few bisexual men on TV.

Indeed. I mean, aren't we all a little gay?

I'm bloody sure I'd give it a go if it meant I'd get my own Boomer.

No, I am not. Speak only for yourself. :P You might be proud of it, but while it is not a sin, it is not a merit either. On the other hand I am glad, I am healthy. I would not touch Baltar! Not even for a legion of eights.

No desire to derail the thread so I'm gonna assume that your reply was all lighthearted Meleardil.

Well... some things. For instance, I'd have to draw the line at Adama. And Cavil. Tigh, I think, I would move up to a yes. Cause he's fiesty!

All but #9 has been released at amazon.com.  Pretty cool I especially like what Tigh says about cylon technology on #10.

I watched the webisodes on Amazon Unbox yesterday morning. Very good all together like that. And it's pretty obvious that something very important goes down in #9 that gets Gaeta into the mood he's in at the end of #10.

Location restrictions are really annoying I tell you.

So far I've seen up to episode 6 of the webisodes on YouTube.  Are the rest of them really all out now?
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!

All but 9... that bites :(
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!
Post by: Meleardil on December 28, 2008, 07:40:53 pm
To be honest, all they gained by region coding and location restrictions is encouraging and justifying piracy. Really stupid...
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!
Post by: Vip on December 29, 2008, 05:12:31 am
Yeah, many people have only the options of either waiting for the DVD to be released a few months after a Season is complete, or use This That Shall Not Be Named Here to be up-to-date. Nevertheless, I think it's the problem that US copyright/distribution/whatever law differs from that of other countries, thus there would be too much legal work to be done to give Galactica to everybody.

they could just bite the bullet and make the web episodes rights free then everyone could watch them but hey its not the fan base thats important its about protecting the bottom dollar,


work arounds are always possiblr except when commercial interests are involved .

its a shame really
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!
Post by: eps200 on January 06, 2009, 11:44:57 am
its a licenceing thing eg SKY 1 holds the licenc for the UK its stupid just have the studio release them

And region coding and long delays between a show airing in one place and the same show airiing in another are the biggest causes of piracy
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!

Aren't they up on YouTube anyway?
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!
Post by: Sidestep on January 07, 2009, 06:14:47 am
Yep.

Apart from ep 8. Unless that is up as well now?
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!
Post by: Angelus on January 07, 2009, 11:03:37 am
Episode 9 is missing, all other episodes are there.
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!
Post by: swashmebuckle on January 07, 2009, 12:05:07 pm
#9 is up on the SciFi site as of now, so it should only be a matter of time before someone posts it for everybody.
Title: Re: New Battlestar Webisodes!

it's up now :D
