'The Face of the Enemy' Webisodes Not Included in Battlestar Galactica: Complete Series Box Set Blu-ray

What the hell? How did this happen? How does Universal consider this Battlestar Galactica: Complete Series Box-Set ‘complete’ without this little web-exclusive chapter of the show included on the forthcoming Blu-ray set?! When we posted the full Special Features breakdown of the set, I didn’t even notice the absence of ‘The Face of the Enemy’ Webisodes. I took it for granted that they were there, hidden somewhere in the twenty-million-page long list of extras. Hell, every other season release of BSG has included the relevant webisodes, why exclude them from the Complete Series Box? Not that i’ll miss them (it was a struggle to plod through all ten episodes to be honest) but we nerds are nothing if not completists. When we commit to a series, be it comics, Blu-ray discs or TV shows, we’ve gotta get ‘em all!

Gay-themed blog AfterElton.com is concerned that the exclusion of the episodes is a result of prominent character Lieutenant Felix Gaeta being outed in ‘The Face of the Enemy’. They contacted Universal and received this response:

    “Thank you for contacting Universal Studios Home Entertainment. We strive to provide the highest standard in product quality and customer care.

    Because “Battlestar Galactica” has such loyal and passionate fans, we include as much bonus content as possible to enhance each DVD release. Sometimes, however, legal clearances, timing issues, disc capacity or other issues prevent existing material from being included.

    Again, thank you. We appreciate your patronage and hope that you will continue to enjoy our releases.”

Yikes. That’s either a boilerplate response to questions about Special Features on the set or Universal has their shields activated, spinning up their FTL drives for a quick retreat!

  3. It’s so disappointing to see something like the complete series not being complete. In all honesty I hope they re-release the complete series and include The Plan as well after it’s released. And that time, I sure hope they include the Face of the Enemy webisodes.
