This site had some scoopy type stuff on Season 3 DVD’s for BSG. The release date is March 25th, about a month before Season 4 starts up (good timing guys!), but most importantly, the DVD’s will contain a great deal of ‘extras’ - including the webisodes that were unavailable to non-US watchers. As I pointed out in Frak You!, while the webisodes are not absolutely integral to the main storyline, they do demonstrate a couple things that we’re seeing more and more of on the small screen - attention paid to characters and arcs that would normally be deemed secondary, and a rounding out of multiple viewpoints, viewpoints that don’t necessarily accord with the major one the show is invested in. I think it’s great: the different viewpoints of the characters in those tiny webisodes gives texture to their actions in the actual aired episodes, making them seem more fully realized. For actor’s, it’s a chance to show the work they do to bring a fully realized character to life - except that now, the stories that the actor prepares for the character are actually being filmed instead of staying in their head.

Also of interest are Ronald Moore’s podcasts of the episodes, and there’s a tonne of information in them for your above-average fan, or anyone interested in seeing how all the components of telling a modern day story work together. And I’m guessing that if you’re reading this, you’re more than likely one of those kinds of people.
