I need Battlestar Galactica order help!

Please, no spoilers...

My wife and I have been working through the Battlestar Galactica Blu Rays from Netflix one at a time, and we're coming up on a weird place where there's a movie (Razor) and a bunch of webisodes. Now every time I try to figure out where these are supposed to be watched, some webpage spoils the plot before just telling me when it takes place.

Is this correct?

Season 2.5
Webisodes
Season 3
Razor
Season 4?

Also, where are the webisodes? They're not on the last disc of Season 2 or the first disc of Season 3.

Don't know about the webisodes but that is the proper placement for Razor.

Razor is a standalone prequel that actually takes place sometime during season 2, but it was produced as episodes 1 and 2 for season 4. I recommend watching it after you finish season 3 because it sets up alot of season 4.

There is another prequel that you will come across called "The Plan" which is essentially a 2 hour clip movie with some new footage. That takes place during parts of seasons 1 and 2. Watch that when your done with the series because it spoils alot of season 4.

Correct but actually it goes like this:

Season 2.5
Webisodes 'The Resistance'
Season 3
Razor
Season 4.0
Webisodes 'The Face of The Enemy'
Season 4.5

Unfortunately 'The Face of The Enemy' isn't on any of the releases but you can download them if you know where to look.

Re: I need Battlestar Galactica order help!

The events of Razor take place chronologically in the second half of the second season, between "The Captain's Hand" and "Downloaded". It was produced at the beginning of Season 4, with season 4 money, so that's why it's with that DVD set. It can honestly be watched in either position, but since I'm anal retentive, whenever I do any rewatches I'll watch it where it goes chronologically.

The "The Resistance" webisodes are on the second disc of the S3 DVD set. It's a little annoying having to shuffle discs like that, but I'm guessing they wanted to keep the first four episodes of S3 together on that first disc since it's such a humdinger of a story arc.

The Plan could also be watched after "No Exit" in season 4, since it touches on the some of the things revealed in that episode.

My advice is not to watch watch Razor until you've finished season three. One of the key elements introduced during the climax of that movie sets up the final season and how you view a certain character, so it would be unwise to watch it at any other time.
