TV NEWS & NOTES

LOS ANGELES — If the wait for season three of "Battlestar Galactica" seems too long, the Sci Fi Channel has your back.

The makers of the critically acclaimed series will help bridge the gap between the end of last season and the new season, which debuts Oct. 6 with an online miniseries called "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance." The first of 10 episodes went online Tuesday. Episodes will appear every Tuesday and Thursday for the next five weeks.

While viewing the webisodes won't be essential to follow the season-three story, "The Resistance" does promise to bridge some gaps between the season two finale — which ended with Cylons descending on the newly colonized planet of New Caprica following President Gaius Baltar's (Jim Callis) surrender — and the new episodes.

Sci Fi also has a recap special titled "The Story So Far" available on its Web site throughout September.
