Battlestar Galactica in 47 Seconds

You probably already know that Matt and I are big Battlestar Galactica fans. It is quite simply an amazing show. However, if it does have one downfall it's that a show so expansive and character driven is often hard to follow. Instead of your usual episodic type episodes most shows are told through, BSG is more like watching a epic narrative (in the same line as Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy or Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings) one chapter at a time. Luckily though there are always people like Jim who are helpful enough to make sense of the muddle.
