It seems like forever and a week since last we've been graced with new episodes of Battlestar Galactica (aka, the best show on television). And although the start of the fourth and final season is still a few months away, the Sci-Fi Channel has decided to toss us Galactaholics a bone with the two hour mini-movie, Battlestar Galactica Razor premiering tomorrow.

To honor this momentous occasion, I hereby announce that Saturday, November 24th, 2007 will now be referred to as 'BSG Day'.

To best celebrate the day, I suggest loading up your favorite episodes of the series on DVD. Failing that, the Sci-Fi Channel will be playing a few season three episodes starting early tomorrow morning.

Not sure which episodes qualify as classics? Well then I suggest you peruse through the new KHYRON.NET Sci-Fi Showdown archive. For those not in the know enough to remember, the Sci-Fi Showdown was staple column here at KHYRON.NET in the early years. Back when Sci-Fi was cool enough to play Stargate Sg-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica back-to-back-to-back, I would go through each week and review each episode--pitting them against each other in an unholy competition of science fiction competition.

I did my best to hunt down some of my more rare episode reviews, but multiple hard drive reformats between then and now have made the search difficult. In the meantime, the mostly complete archive can be found Here. (Many thanks to Tim Binnall for the assistance on it)

Here's Khyron's picks for BSG initiates:

33 (Season 1) - The first episode of the show is still arguably the best. The sense of tension and exhaustion amongst the crew is almost palpable.

Bastille Day (Season 1) - A dark episode, it features the introduction of Richard Hatch as the terrorist/politician Tom Zarek.

Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 1 and 2 (Season 1) - One of the most shocking and action packed season finales ever.

Pegasus (Season 2) - Very relevant if you want to know what's going on in Razor.

Scar (Season 2) - It was a love it, hate it type episode, but as far as one-off shows go, I enjoyed the frak out it.

Lay Down Your Burdens, Part 1 and 2 (Season 2) - This is the finale that changed the entire pace of the series. Don't miss the last few minutes.

Occupation/Precipice (Season 3) - This double-feature premier was BSG at its darkest and most intense.

Exodus Part 1 and 2 (Season 3) - Arguably the best CGI effects ever for a television show. Looks movie quality.

Crossroads Part 1 and 2 (Season 3) - Must see if you want to fully appreciate Razor. This season 3 finale sets the stage for the sure to be epic finale season.

Happy BSG day, all. Review for BSG Razor later this weekend.

~Peace.
