BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: RAZOR (sat Nov 24)
scifi channel ^

Posted on 11/17/2007 3:45:02 PM PST by Professional

The Two-Hour Event The special two-hour episode "Razor", which will serve as a backdrop for the events of season four of Battlestar Galactica, tells the story of Lee Adama's first mission as the commander of the battlestar Pegasus — and the harrowing tale of that ship's desperate fight for survival in the immediate aftermath of the Cylon's genocidal siege of the Twelve Colonies.

Lee Adama's new XO, Major Kendra Shaw, is plagued by memories of her service and sacrifices under Admiral Helena Cain, who was able to save her ship during the Cylon attack — but only by making Shaw and her fellow officers rationalize suicidal battle tactics and brutal war crimes against their own people.

In the crucible of war, Shaw must let her hesitation and doubts burn away, until all that remains of her is the honed edge of a living human weapon — what Colonial veterans call "a razor." But an edge so fine cuts in more than one direction. It can cleave an enemy to pieces … or it can carve away a person's soul.

The Razor Flashbacks From October 5 through November 16, SCI FI whets Battlestar fans' appetites every Friday night with Razor Flashbacks during all-new episodes of Flash Gordon. All the flashback clips will be available on SCIFI.COM immediately after broadcast.

Written by Michael Taylor and directed by Wayne Rose and Felix Alcala, these intense, roughly two-minute segments tell the story of young William "Husker" Adama's rookie Viper mission during the first Cylon war. In addition to fighting for his very survival against relentless Cylon centurions, Adama makes a terrifying discovery that will come back 40 years later to threaten him, the crew of the Pegasus and the survival of the human race.

This isn't footage you'll see in the premiere of Razor, so make sure to watch every Friday for a new flashback adventure, then see it again on SCIFI.COM!

My wife and lived for this show...the first two seasons. It jumped the shark by season three and we stopped.

I stopped watching after that horrible boxing episode.

It seems the whole purpose of this poorly written episode was to push homosexuality. They had to hammer the point home with a pro-homosexual PSA from a sexual politics group.

It was a waste of time and a waste of airtime.

I am stunned Quiznoes would allow their brand to be contaminated by sexual politics. Their slogan of “mmmm tasty” has now become a sexual joke.

I guess they want to make sexual jokes rather than sandwiches.

A close friend would often tell me how Firefly was a great show. It sounded interesting- but I’m not really into sitting down to watch a tv show each week to find out what happens next. So one day, I arrive home from work and find a package from amazon.com sitting on my porch. My friend had sent me the complete series as a gift. It took me a week before I set aside some time to watch an episode. I ended up watching 4 episodes that night, 3 more the following night, and the remaining episodes over the course of a week. I guess you could say I liked it. : )
