of season three of BSG. I'm not sure why SciFi is running these things during

Every day, there is a marathon of a series. Unfortunately, they are
usually marathons of Tales of the Darkside, The New Nightstalker,
Twilight Zone, Jake 2.0, New Outer Limits. and Dark Angel. Twightlight

I only watch one episode so far, despite the issues your raised (that I
