What do you think of Battlestar Galactica Webisodes so far?

With exactly one month until Season 4.5 airs to close out the series, Sci Fi is now airing the bridger webisodes. As of today, two have aired. What are your thoughts on them? Do they further the series, or are they just filler?

Gaeta is gay? Huh. I'm not entirely sure it was necessary to drop that bit of information. Aside from Apollo, Starbuck, and Baltar, everyone on that show feels kind of asexual—each character is defined, by and large, by the crisis on the horizon and how they deal with it—and revealing Felix's homosexuality doesn't seem to add anything to the story at hand. But it does shed new light on his relationship with Baltar: It's easy to be drawn to a man with Gaius' charisma, and Felix followed him around like a puppy. They were like an interstellar Smithers and Mr. Burns...at least until President Baltar all but sentenced humanity to Cylon extinction while wallowing in cheap pills and easy women. That sort of behavior will squash a crush, tout de suite.
Ah, but I digress. You should go watch. They're really good. Short, but good.

They had announced during the fall that Gaeta's character was coming out of the closet, and from what I've gathered from friends who are also fans, there is really no point to revealing his sexuality at this stage in the plot, but I noticed with the Season 2 to 3 bridger webisodes, they actually didn't really further the plot as much as I would have liked either. It was like a teaser more than even a taste.

I am really looking forward to January 16!
