As any good sci-fi fan will know, the popular series Battlestar Galactica’s 4th and final season premieres tonight. The show offered an early glimpse to fans on SciFi.com today, streaming the entire first episode live. The problem? It ran at 9 am Pacific time.
While it’s great to utilize the Internet to give fans a sneak-peak, it should probably be done on a day and time that is appropriate. Those on the east coast could conceivably watch it during a lunch break, but everyone else either had to play hooky from work or be super fast with the minimize button.
SciFi isn’t the only television channel using web video to pre-run returning series. Showtime recently released the first two episodes of the new season of its hit show, The Tudors, online through various outlets including Internet TV platform, Brightcove.
Those who didn’t catch the morning viewing of Battlestar Galactica can watch it tonight on the SciFi channel at 10 pm (9 pm Central) - a much more reasonable time for the working sci-fi lover.
