Overview[edit]

Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance will be web-based series that claims to fill in the gaps between season two and three of the re-imagined series. The series is a limited-run series that will last 10 episodes. [1]

The webisode series is written by veteran BSG writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, and directed by Wayne Rose. The entire series is about 25 minutes long in total, and divided into 10 episodes.

When BattlestarWiki asked Bradley Thompson about the webisode series, he said:

"It's true that David Weddle and I wrote the webisodes. Ron Moore and David Eick assigned them to us during the production of Exodus. The ten short segments combine to tell one story, which takes place during the Cylon Occupation that ended Season 2. The webisodes plant seeds that come to fruition in Season 3. They were all directed by Wayne Rose, the veteran director who's been doing 2nd Unit and 1stAD work for the series. The original title of the story was "Crossroads." The running lengths will vary with what's necessary to tell each segment of the story. The first cut I saw of all ten ran about 25 minutes. The run plan we were told was that they'd put up one a week as a countdown to the season premiere -- but SciFi may have other ideas on that by now."

In August 2006, word came that work on the web-based series may have been delayed or interrupted by a dispute between the Writers Guild of America and NBC-Universal over whether writers Weddle and Thompson should be paid for their writing for the webisodes. Since June, the WGA has been asking the writers and producers who are working on the BSG webisodes, as well as webisodes of NBC's The Office, to stop working on them because they should be compensated for that work. NBC Universal, who produces both shows, has filed a complaint with National Labor Relations Board, claiming that this writing is included in the current WGA contract and urging the NLRB to compel staffers to resume work. NBCU claims webisode production has been at a standstill since June.
