Is the On Demand preview different? I'm still so confused.
It is different. I'm actually not sure where/how to get the On Demand one.
Relatedly, how long is the preview available, online?
I don't know how long - probably a few hours. It's not up anymore, though.
ETA: Cindy, I had a thing I wanted to e you about anyway, so I'll recap the preview for you - insent in a minute.
The online preview is only up until 2 am. I don't know which time zone 2 am.
The On Demand thing is something you can get via Comcast Digital Cable. Last week's Scifi preview was an expansion of the scene with the pilots divvying up their food. The On Demand preview was the scene in which Kara confronts Cat about her past.
This week's On Demand preview is similarly something COMPLETELY different. (But, given that later in the week scifi started showing previews that were about Cat and her past, I bet that there will be previews that feature part of the On Demand preview that appeared this morning.)
Was anyone else expecting Kat to turn out to be a Cylon? I don't know why, but I was CONVINCED that the last scene of the episode would be her resurrecting on a Cylon ship and freaking the hell out.
And, aw, I'm gonna miss Kat! I always liked her, and I liked her power struggles with Starbuck, and her big mouth and bratty attitude. I mean, sometimes I wanted to duct-tape her mouth shut, but I thought she was a great character. I'm proud of her that she died saving that ship, though, and I'm glad that she knew that people were proud of her. t /sap

That thought did occur to me when I saw one of the previews, I think.
I've been trying to remember, and I can't -- has Jane E ever killed off a major character before?
Because thinking back, her name on this ep is a big reason why I was so surprised that Kat didn't miraculously pull through. (I thought she did a great job, but if I were hiring freelance writers for this show, I don't know that I'd immediately go, "Okay, and in this episode Kat dies of radiation poisoning...let's bring in Jane Espenson!")
They'd better stop pulling out that "who are the other models?" clip without giving us a new model. Though I now suspect the guy from First Wave, just because he's a face I know, and why waste a former lead character on just another pilot?
Yeah, I know. Not solid deduction.
I suspect everyone. But that's not solid deduction, either.
I loved her response, "Your face?"
Ah, thanks for the RIO/DIO info.
I enjoyed the sappy Kat hero death. Rather more enjoyable since I won't miss her. Then again, we might find she was a cylon and she'll be back in a week or two.
Wished I had the captioning on so I could catch all the hybrid mumbling. Next time.
Skipped to the end of this thread because I am way behind on Heroes and don't want spoilage. Must catch up this weekend.
Jumps back out of thread.

They can only do that once and get away with it. Like when they saved Roslin with Magic Cylon Blood -- if they started using MCB for a cure for something else every week, I'd be very disappointed.
So while I hope they don't end up with a Big Surprise Cylon Character Revelation, they have to do it TWICE before I'll foam at the mouth.
