Battlestar Galactica: Razor was an oasis for BSG fans--when the double-length episode aired in November 2007, it was the only new material broadcast during the 12-month gap between seasons 3 and 4. But although it sets up some events in season 4, chronologically Razor is a prequel taking place within season 2, when Galactica had unexpectedly met up with a fellow Battlestar, Pegasus. The central character is new, Kendra Shaw (Stephanie Jacobsen), who becomes the XO after Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) takes command of the Pegasus. Shaw's promotion is controversial among Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) and others because Shaw learned the trade under the previous commander of the Pegasus, Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes), who lived by her own wartime rules. The central conflict in Razor involves the Pegasus trying to rescue a Raptor crew from the Cylons. During the mission Shaw flashes back to 10 months earlier, and her experiences in the immediate aftermath of the Cylons' wipeout of Caprica influence how she handles this mission and its implications of a new Cylon-human hybrid. Razor is a riveting adventure, full of the top writing, great acting, and dark end-of-humanity vision that makes Battlestar Galactica the best show on television (that is, when it's actually on). Fans will also enjoy the appearance of old-school Cylons, and the revelation that Gaius is not the only one who fell for the wiles of Number 6 (Tricia Helfer). The unrated and extended DVD runs 103 minutes, about 16 minutes longer than the Sci-Fi Channel broadcast. There's a brief bit of extra gore from Admiral Cain, and young William "Husker" Adama's (Nico Cortez, nicely channeling Edward James Olmos) mission in the last days of the first Cylon war is now 10 minutes instead of 5, including a spectacular aerial battle. In another new sequence, at the moment when Cain tells Shaw "Sometimes we have to leave people behind so that we can go on," there's a flashback to Cain's experiences in the first Cylon war. Among the bonus features is the complete 19-minute minisode version of Husker's Cylon encounter (previously viewable on Sci-Fi Channel's website) and two deleted scenes. Featurettes include "The Look of Battlestar Galactica" and "My Favorite Episode So Far" ("33" gets a lot of mentions from the cast and crew), and there are a trailer and 2.5-minute "sneak peek" at season 4 (mostly interviewing people who don't know what's going to happen, though Tricia Helfer mentions a new version of herself). In a commentary track for the extended edition, executive producer Ronald D. Moore and writer Michael Taylor discuss how the episode came together (they refer to Razor as episodes as 1-2 of season 4) amid some serious restructuring and bits of trivia, such as how they cast Stephanie Jacobsen in the pivotal role even though she had never watched the show. --David HoriuchiMore Battlestar GalacticaEverything Battlestar Galactica Battlestar Galactica BooksBSG Toys & CollectablesStills from Battlestar Galactica - Razor (Click for larger image)2) Amazon.com

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Exellent Stuff [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This was a lot better than I expected. The disc contained the flashback minisodes as well as both the broadcast version (which I saw on SciFi) and the extended version. One cannot go wrong with either version. They are both superb. The other extras give great information as well, and the Season 4 preview was great as well. Overall an excellent DVD. One's Battlestar Galactica DVD collection would not be complete without it.2) Best series ever [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is one of the best TV series I have seen, and this new addition to the series is a mater piece.Keep it up!3) Was hoping for a better episode! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
After the Ceylon attacked humanity and basically wiped them out, a few thousands only survived. Humans ventured into space as outcasts aboard the military spaceship Galactica and a few other civilian spaceships. They thought that they were the only survivors, and they set out to find a planet called Earth. However, they soon find out that another military spaceship survived the Ceylon attack--the Pagasus. Its commander, the ruthless Admiral Cain, was introduced to us in seasons 1 and 2. Now in Razor, the untold story of Pegasus is told. We are introduced to a new character, Kendra Shaw, who has been reshaped into a razor--a tool of war.This is actually the first episode of season 4. I loved the character of Kendra Shaw, but overall, I found the show a bit slow and unbelievable. I also didn't like the jumping back and forth in time to tell the story of Cain and Shaw. I found this jumping back and forth distracting and confusing. I also did not like the battle scenes. I thought they were much better portrayed in seasons 1 and 2. Disappointing, for I really was looking forward to this episode. I am still a big fan of Battlestar Galactica, albeit a disappointed one. This episode will probably be released when Season 4 is released (and maybe with season 3 too), so you might want to wait to see it then instead of paying for it now and paying again for it when season 4 (or 3) is released.For your information, this is the first episode shot in HD (high definition). I watched the unrated extended version, but the broadcast version is also included in this DVD.4) Another BG blockbuster! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
IN-TENSE! Very well put together; I love this series; can hardly wait for Season 3 ... I think I'll start viewing from the beginning again.5) Love it! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The movie arrived when it was supposed to, it was in great condition, and had even more extras on it than I thought. As always, I am happy with my Amazon purchase!
