Chill 'till the next webisode


Why does Tyrol here look so displeased? Certainly it's not for his prominent role in the new "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance" webisodes. Maybe it's because by the nature of "webisodes" (as loathsome of a fake word as any), the story is moving slow. Well, two "webisodes" (ugh) into it, it really hasn't moved at all - not that bad if it's the first five minutes of an hour-long (well, 44 minutes) episode, but kind of really totally noticeable when it's in two to three minute chunks. Maybe just the concept itself is flawed - it reminds me of the Spider-Man newspaper comic strip, where on Monday Peter Parker's phone would ring, on Tuesday he would say "Oh no! The phone is ringing!" on Wednesday he would pick it up, on Thursday he would say "Hello?" and on Friday you would find something better to do with your 2.37 seconds.
