Galactica: I’d heard good things about this show, and I watched part of the midseason show online - but it just left me very confused. Can you give me suggestions about how to catch up, especially for the 3rd season? Is there a detailed synopsis somewhere online? If I can watch all of the reruns somehow that would be even better. (I don’t have the Universal HD cable channel where I hear they are going to do reruns) Same question for the series “Heroes”. I’ve seen one episode of that and it looks great! ---

There’s a 44 minute long BSG [recap](http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/storysofar/44minuterecap/) available. The episodes are also available on iTunes. Gotta love the new hamsters! Good work Jerry! ---

Oh thank you for the information! I’m glad BG episodes are on ITunes, but I can’t figure out how to get the individual episodes; the site is slow as molasses and gives no information on how to download a tv show. ---

[QUOTE=Rusalka] Same question for the series “Heroes”. I’ve seen one episode of that and it looks great! [/quote] It is! I’d definitely recommend watching all the episodes in order because for the most part there are continuing story lines that are advancing from episode to episode. [QUOTE=Little Nemo] All of the back episodes of Heroes are currently available online at [NBC.com](http://NBC.com). [/QUOTE] They’ve been saying in the ads it’s for a limited time only (normally they’ve only had the most recent episode available). I suspect they may only have the whole series online until they return with the next new episode this Monday. Both shows are avilable for download on itunes as well. ---

Now I guess I have to buy season 2 as well. I checked and there’s a season 2.0 and 2.5. That sort of stinks that they aren’t together. Monday there was a Battlestar marathon on from 12-7.
