I’m a huge “Battlestar Galactica” fan. My only problem is that I almost entirely missed Season 2. Thanks to my DVR, I’ve been able to catch up with most of the series, but there were a few holes in the story line that I was missing. I write “was missing” because thanks to a clever 8 minute 18 second recap clip of all 3 seasons of “Battlestar Galactica”, I now completely know what’s going on.

The clip is a very abridged version of the 30 minute recap that aired on the SciFi Channel last week, and is quite tongue and cheek!

Whether you’re like me and have watched “most” of the series, or if you’re like those who have never watched a single episode, and don’t want to sit through all 3 seasons, this is the answer that you’re looking for. So, grab one of those tiny 100 calorie bags of microwave popcorn, turn down the lights, sit back with your headphones or a nice sound system and enjoy:

Do I deliver, or do I deliver?

Hollywoodreporter. reported yesterday that CBS has announced that they will be canceling the network’s show “>In a statement, CBS announced:

“The March 25th episode of ‘Jericho’ will be the series finale. Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more. We thank an engaged and spirited fan base for keeping the show alive this long, and an outstanding team of producers, cast and crew that went through creative hoops to deliver a compelling, high quality second season. We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try. We listened to our viewers, gave the series an opportunity to grow, and the producers put a great story on the screen. We’re proud of everyone’s efforts.”         

This will be the second time that the show has been cancelled. The first time around, fans “organized what has been called the largest protest ever mounted to try and halt the cancellation of a TV show. Playing off a line of dialogue in the finale, viewers famously sent about 45,000 pounds of peanuts to CBS.” (THR)The show’s executive producer Carol Barbee in a recent interview stated:

“‘Jericho’ is unique because the fans saved it — watching it on the Internet and streaming and iTunes downloads, all those things that are not being counted,” said executive producer Carol Barbee in a recent interview. “That’s what ‘Jericho’ will be known for.”
