Well frak...and frell...me.

GateWorld is reporting that Sci-Fi Channel has announced BSG "mini-sodes" that will air in the 8 weeks leading up to RAZOR's November 24th airing. And - hold onto your hats - the return of FARSCAPE, in webisode form!

From GateWorld:

As fans of Battlestar Galatica get ready for the November 24 premiere of the telemovie "Razor" -- which will delve into the backstory of the Battlestar Pegasus, her crew, and Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) -- the network has another surprise. The movie will be preceded by an 8-week series of "mini-sodes."

Filmed in conjunction with "Razor," the two- to three-minute installments will air weekly in primetime on SCI FI Channel, and then be available online at SCIFI.com. The promotional shorts will premiere in October.

Written by Michael Taylor and directed by Wayne Rose and Felix Alcala, "these shorts will provide a sneak peek into the original Cylon War, when a young pilot named William Adama (Nico Cortez) discovers a dangerous Cylon weapon that will come back to haunt him and his crew 40 years later," SCI FI revealed. They will also be included in the DVD release of "Razor."

At least they are not dying the long cold hard painful death Trek did starting with the last season of ds9 and ending with that horrid horrid sadness known as "enterprise"
