[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] From my blog post on the subject: It�s sort of like the Star Wars prequel films. It feels unnecessary. We know Anakin Skywalker turned to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader, so why�d we actually have to see it on film? Pretty much just so George Lucas could have Stormtroopers in colorful armor and Jedi against green-screen backgrounds. Meanwhile, the bulk of Razor is events we�d been told about: Pegasus escaping the Yard, Cain executing her XO, the shootings of civilians on military orders. All of these were events referenced in the �Pegasus/Resurrection Ship� arc in BSG�s second season, and seeing them on screen was, to me, gratuitous. Meanwhile, all of this is framed into what could�ve been an episode of the series proper (and is set in the latter portion of the second season � Lee has just assumed command of Pegasus, and reference is made to the episode Epiphany): a Raptor has disappeared on a research mission, and Admiral Adama transfers his flag to the newer Battlestar to oversee the rescue operation. Major Shaw, who turned into a cold hard bitch under Cain�s command, then found herself peeling potatoes in the mess, leads a rescue operation onto an ancient Cylon basestar with a tie to Admiral Adama�s past, and the old Cylon centurions (from the original series) show up and say �By your command.� In other news, Starbuck moves her �Bitch� act from Kat to Shaw, and it�s pretty much Galactica as usual, with most of the show�s regular cast making guest appearances (Tyrol, Callie, Baltar, Helo, and Dualla are absent).
