How can we wait till January?

So, I need season four. But alas, the DVD comes out a mere ten days before 4.5 starts airing on SciFi. This is why we are freaking paying for cable, and I for one am sta-ressed out about it.

That said, what are your favorite coping mechanisms to employ, while you're waiting for new episodes of a favorite show? Engaging fan culture as much as possible? Battlestar wiki? Distract yourself with a similar show? Compulsive eating?
