A local station runs the old BSG every night
I'm not a big fan of the series, though I really liked it when I was little. However, I've tuned in about five or six times at random over the past year or so...


Every single time, it's been Part Two of the Lloyd Bridges/Pegasus episode. How is this possible? The channel doesn't give episode details about the shows it airs--it just gives the show's name, timeslot, and a brief description of the series (e.g., "Good battles evil in outer space"), so it's not as though I could have subconsciously learned which episode was scheduled in advance.

At this point it seems clear to me that the "series" that I remember never actually existed. The whole thing consisted of one episode, and that's the one that this channel keeps running.

If you can come up with a better explanation for how I've managed to hit the same ep so many times at random, I'd love to hear it.

1. there's a name for that but it escapes me
There are shows I haven't seen in months or years but when I catch a repeat, it's the exact episode I saw last.

2. Arrrrgh! I'd rather have burning bamboo slivers shoved under my fingernails . . .
Especially having seen the recent version.
