Webisodes and Essential Elements

Via Futon Critic:

As previously announced, "Battlestar Galactica" will begin its swan song on Friday, January 16 at 10:00/9:00c. Also keep an eye out for "BSG: Essential Elements," a half-hour special on Sunday, January 11 at 11:00/10:00c. And if that wasn't enough "Galactica," it's understood the latest wave of webisodes for the series will be broadcast during the network's January 15 presentation of "Pitch Black."

Would I be correct in assuming the webisodes will be available online prior to the television broadcast?

Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with blogs and this is the only route I can see to ask my question. Which is, will the final series only be on the sci-fi channel (which is not HD in my area), or will it also be on unvhd, like this year?
It's hard to understand how two major tv channels can have such uninformative web sites. Same for the "official" battlestar galactica sites.
Thanks,
Joe Rogers

@major: Contractually they are probably doing "minisodes" like what we saw in front of RAZOR last year. They show on TV first, then get posted online afterwards and eventually show up on DVD.

@Joe: I couldn't agree with you more that the Universal HD site is super lame. Embarassing! But, I'd imagine that BSG 4.5 will be on SciFi Channel, SciFi Channel HD and, eventually in some form, the Universal HD Channel too. But note that season 4.0 premiered on SciFi in spring 2008 but didn't begin to get re-run on UniHD till late summer.

Doh I hate it when I lose a post! Well, all I said was that it was confusing that they'd start the webisodes the day before the series picks up again. I thought the point of those things was to tide fans over and maintain interest during hiatus. Now it seems they'll run concurrently with the series.

Both of the previous series of webisodes aired online and are on the relevant DVDs. But I don't think they were ever shown on television.

Dear ProgGrrl:
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, we don't have the sci-fi channel in HD with COX in Phoenix. Watching BSG without it is like sticking pins in your eyes, so I guess I'll wait for unvhd, which, as you noted, didn't start until last summer here.
Best,
Joe Rogers

Hi,

I was interrupted before I could really finish that last post.

In sum -- if the past is any guide, the webisodes will appear online first.

Joe, I admire your fortitude, but there's no way I'll be able to resist watching it on the SD SciFi channel. Maybe we'll both get lucky and our cable operators will add the SciFi HD channel before January!

If you can afford it, another option would be iTunes, where they'll have HD downloads (720p).
