Caprica To Air “Final Five” Episodes On Jan. 4th

Well, that was quick.
The Futon Critic broke news today of when the final episodes of Caprica, the recently cancelled prequel to Battlestar Galactica, will air in the new year. According to the site, the episodes will air in a "final five" block starting at 6:00/5:00c on January 4th.
Or you could watch them a couple of weeks beforehand when the Caprica Season 1.5 DVD is released on December 21st. Your call.
It would seem that the most logical way to release the episodes would be to air them before the DVD release, but maybe SyFy has something to gain from the plan they've implemented that hasn't crossed our mind.
For those who don't know, Caprica was yanked from the SyFy schedule in October and scheduled to burn off the remaining episodes in the new year. Fans of the show have started campaigns to keep Caprica on the air, one notable campaign being a drive to send apples, the symbolic fruit from Caprica's promotional poster featuring Alessandra Torresani's Zoe Graystone, to the SyFy offices in an attempt to redo the Jericho and Roswell renewal campaigns, which used peanuts and bottles of Tabasco sauce, respectively, to give their shows second and third seasons. Despite all of that hard work, it seems that this announcement is the final nail in the coffin for Caprica to return past the burn off on January 4th, 2011.
However, Caprica's demise doesn't mean the end of the Battlestar Galactica saga. Before giving Caprica the boot, SyFy greenlit a new BSG prequel named Blood and Chrome, which will deal with the first Cylon War and a young William Adama. Industry insiders believe that the announcement of this prequel, along with Caprica's dwindling ratings, made it an easy decision for SyFy to let the struggling space opera go. Too bad the decision was made right when the show was getting good.
So which will you guys do? Buy the DVD on December 21st or watch the "Final Five" marathon on January 4th?
