Note: I’m going to talk about the plot details of Battlestar Galactica in this post. If you aren’t caught up to the finale of season three, stop reading NOW. You have been warned. This is the last safe sentence you can read.

My buddy Dave Chartier, in a post entitled “Dave Caolo is a Rickrolling jerk“:

“Congratulations are in order to Dave Caolo—of TUAW and Kaylow fame—for officially becoming the first person to ever successfully rickroll me…”
