Sci-Fi Channel plans ‘Battlestar’ marathon

Fans mourning the end of the latest season of “Battlestar Galactica” can relive the action all over again.

Sci Fi Channel will present a special encore presentation of the show’s entire third season, that’s 20 episodes, during a three-day marathon in May.

The marathon kicks off May 16, 7 a.m.-2 p.m. CDT, and then follows the next two days from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday and 7 a.m.-1 p.m. Friday.

This season began with the Cylon occupation of New Caprica and ended with Baltar’s trial and the unveiling of new Cylons.

The fourth season of the Peabody-winning show begin in May and is aiming for an early 2008 premiere. In between, a special two-hour extended event will air during the late fall or early winter 2007 and will be released on DVD later.
