If you don't watch the next episode of Battlestar Galactica when it airs live on Friday, you could pay a terrible price. The episode will run a few minutes long.

It's happened to all of us — a show goes over the allotted time-limit and you're stuck never actually knowing who's the murderer on Pushing Daisies. Or worse, if Heidi and Spencer really did get married for reals? Then comes the swearing and the screaming and the breaking of objects because your recorder cut off at the crucial last few minutes, leaving you without answers or closure.

So be warned ,BSG fans — this weeks' Friday premiere will run OVER 3 and a half minutes. Don't be a victim — set your recording devices correctly.
