BattleStar Galactica For Free
As I've written before, I've been mightily impressed by the "Dark, Sexy, Political Sci-Fi Show" that is the modern remake of BattleStar Galactica. Now I'm mightily impressed by the people in charge of marketing it.
I've already watched all the episodes, but for anyone deterred by the complexities of bittorrent, the Sci-Fi channel has put the first episode online, commercial free.
This is rather unprecidented and strikes me as really smart. In addition to putting a whole episode up, there's extensive documentary material online as well. It would seem that the television industry is showing more signs of innovation than the film business. I'm just happy that someone is finally pushing the envelope.
