Anyway, you can buy them from Amazon Unbox for 1.99 an episode. Or you can buy a whole season for a nice discount.

Also try watching them on Hulu.com. They have commercials too, but the episodes stream just fine on my computer.
Well, Amazon Unbox uses a proprietary Windows DRM system that will not work on any other system. I use Mac and Linux exclusively, and refuse to even consider installing windows on my Mac (why should I allow viruses on my computer?). Hulu seems like a good alternative, but they only have the episodes that SciFi.com has. It would be great if I could find the earlier episodes, but apparently the good people at SciFi want me to buy the DVDs instead. I'm not in the mood to fiddle with BitTorrent or anything like that, mainly because I don't want to lose my security clearance...
