1. Watch the mini-series
2. Watch seasons 2 and 3, preferably in chunks of several episodes at a time so you don’t get bored out of your skull when a writer starts writing about his divorce.
3. Watch "Razor"
4. Watch season 4 to the end of "Daybreak, Part 2"
5. Instead of watching the final hour ("Daybreak, Part 3"), put the DVD in the microwave on max power.
I whole-heartedly endorse this plan.
