It really kind of bugs me when BSG does this. While I appreciated the web run series of the occupation of New Caprica, I think it's poor storytelling to leave important character and side story development out of the aired episodes just to boost the hits to your website.

While I understand that the lines between our various media are blurring, I like having my TV on TV, my Radio on the Radio, and my online content on my computer... I don't have a tivo, and I have enough of a time deciding what to watch/listen to/Read as it is!

I really don't like the idea of the online deleted scenes. For one thing, I am deaf, and none of the iTunes and the 5 networks' websites don't provide captioning. Just not fair, if I missed an episode and I can't check out the web episodes. :(

I am glad the office experiment didn't pan out.

I was just having this conversation the other day. I watch so much television via my TIVO that I barely find enough time to read up here on TVS - there's no way I have enough time to follow up on every show I watch on the actual websites. Plus, the few times I've gone, despite my highspeed internet, I always have loading difficulties and pages that don't load. I think in many ways it's unfair to post these "extras" to a show like THE OFFICE. I don't feel that I should be deprived of semi-important information such as why Andy was absent because I didn't have extra time to watch webisodes online (I rely on the comments here for that). When it comes to LOST and their extras, however, they don't seem to add much to the actual storyline - i.e. that I would feel I've lost some information. If TVS wants to start reviewing the webisodes in the manner it posts spoilers, I for one would be very grateful, since spoilers cull the print coverage so I don't have to - it'd be nice to have the same info posted for the webisodes. There's my two cents...
