Battlestar Galactica Razor flashback mini-eps discussion
I didn't find any threads or even comments on the 2 minute flashback episodes currently being run Friday nights during Flash Gordon (main reason why nobody is talking about them? 
) and also available at scifi.com: http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/
Well, I think I just had a geekasm with the third episode. Classic cylon raiders, classic vipers, and (I think) Battlestars that are a cross between classic and modern. There was more action in the latest mini-ep than a lot of the third season!
Anybody else watching?

Yeah, I figured since there wasn't already a thread, I figured starting one would just devolve into bitching about the lack of S3 DVDs and the April start of S4.
But yeah, I needed some new shorts after that third ep, that was smokin!

Wow. I'm geeking out here. Ha! I'm loving the old school toasters. This upcoming season can't come soon enough.

Damn, Adama loves using pipes to beat down Cylons. Awesome to see an old school toaster actually look like it could do some damage instead of just clunking around.

You know, if they thought these out right, they could do quite a few of these "events". While the man BSG storyline is winding down, there's still a lot of backstory that can be explored.
Loved the nod to the original series "gun on ice planet zero" storyline, one of the best from the old show.

cool stuff. so are these just web exclusives or are they going to be in Razor? Either way it's cool to see the original war with the older ships and cylons in a way less cheesy than the original series (I know I'll catch flack for saying that but I just can't get into the original series 
)
Oh and the guy playing the young Adama does a pretty good Edward James Olmos impression

As to the mini-eps: We're finally getting the history leading up to the human version Cylons and the decades long silence. Cool stuff. I just wish it could get it's own movie instead of about 15 minutes.

Weird seeing the resurrection pool. Begs the question why didn't Adama immediately know cylons can look like humans in the mini series?

i'm with you, Cardiff Giant. i've been sticking my fingers in my ears and humming loudly ever since a few friends saw Razor in NYC last week. i've been *patiently* waiting for months and want to be spoiler free for the Sci Fi premiere on saturday night.
for the record, however, my fellow BSG junkies said it was fantastic... and even gave a few season 4 hints! woot! can't. frickin'. wait.

Saw it in Evanston last week also, great little between season treat. I think they could keep the franchise going for a while doing DTDVD shows like this.

So sticking to the flashbacks until after it airs Sat, looks like the final one has Adama seeing what looks like the current gen Basestar leaving the planet and then finding out the war is over? Weird.

hmm watched it tonight, interesting but raised more questions than answers. Definitely enjoyed it, especially the spoilerized stuff previous posters mentioned.
