As you might be aware, the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica starts on the Sci-Fi channel this Friday night at 10:00 p.m. ET. Interestingly, it will also be aired early — at noon ET — on SciFi.com!

So I was watching TV earlier, when I noticed that my TiVo was showing “Battlestar Galactica Special” as the sponsored link on my home screen. I clicked selected it and discovered a pretty cool recap video, which sums up the entire first three seasons of the show in a smash-cut, slightly tongue-in-cheek manner. Great stuff. And it was just enough of a memory jog to get me exactly where I need to be for Friday night.

Need a memory jog for yourself? Here’s the clip. (Just ignore the pointless countdown at the beginning.)

I don’t often praise “Komcast,” our cable company, but I have to give thanks to them for ponying up the Sci-Fi HD channel. This is one season of BSG that I’ll be watching in glorious high-def.

At least until we go to Thailand. Then, it’ll be torrents to the rescue.
