Fortunately for me (and anyone else out there like me), the Sci fi channel doesn't suck.
Namely, because they've put the entire first episode - uncut and commercial free - up on their website for free download.

As an added bonus, for those of you that don't want to install RealPlayer (which sucks), I've provided you with a handy dandy [url="http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4094.html"]LINK[/url] to an alternative player. It's worked great for me so far - even support full screen theatre mode (QuickTime free doesn't - but there's an alternative for that, too!).
I don't know how long the video will be left up, so if you're interested, download it now!
