Razor Flashbacks

The recent one available on SciFi pulse, is now on Youtube here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pvAhOH1zJlc, front page should probably include this for the benefit of international fans who can't watch it via pulse. :) --Sixu 23:24, 7 October 2007 (CDT)

Unfortunately, it's technically illegal and will probably be pulled by NBCU in a day, if not less. Same thing happened with the Resistance webisodes. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 00:50, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

It's basically "don't ask, don't tell". Everyone knows that people here download the regular episodes and webisodes - including some admins - but we shouldn't support it too openly. That mainly means no links. --Serenity 01:30, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Ah, I totally understand that. It's so annoying for BSG fans that live outside the U.S. As for the policy of NBCU removing content from youtube, I'm sure you'll agree; is plain stupid. It is the internet after all, and where there is a will there is always way, so their efforts are rather pointless. Cheers for the feedback though guys, appreciate you taking the time to let me know. --Sixu 06:20, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

I don't really mind or complain. Sure the restrictions are annoying on the face of it, but as you said they are useless in practice. A few hours after the US airing, there are YouTube streams and even downloadable avi files available. Due to the time difference I need to wait until the next morning anyways. Sure it would be nice to watch the stuff on TV within a reasonable timeframe and with the original language track, but by now I got used to watch shows on the PC and possibly get the DVDs later. --Serenity 06:37, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

I don't really see why Sci Fi (or whoever holds copyright) would want to remove the Razor Flashbacks from YouTube: US citizens can also view them freely on SciFi.com. Regular episodes are different of course. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 08:44, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

I've never really gotten a good firm picture of why they're so aggressive, but the two main reasons that were impressed on me were the concept of "protecting their copyright" (that somehow if they allowed their material to be used willy-nilly it'd somehow set a precedent that would prevent them from having any real say in the future) and something to do with the unions/guilds (any use of the work of their people has to be properly credited and/or paid for). They can't be blind to what all goes on, so it seems like it's far more in the way of keeping a particular legal position or policy than effecting any sort of practical global(/non-US) prohibition. Unfortunately the types of people that could probably best explain it, NBCU lawyers, are likely to be tight-lipped as a matter of course anyway. There may be a blurb in the OC where Bradley Thompson mentions something about the (Resistance) webisodes. --Steelviper 09:26, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Who agrees with me?

I think the best episode is "Tigh me up Tigh me down" because:

You get to see Lee crotch get rubbed by Ellen Tigh's foot. It is good stuff... has any one got a picture of it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pooh the hat (talk • contribs).
