Thank you for the link Two! I admit I had no idea what Razor was
I sure hope these special episodes will be aired in France too! _________________ "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" - Blade Runner

For those of us who missed them, here's a link to the videos on the Sci-Fi channel web page.
I hate those people.
First they make me watch an ad for Duracell Rechargables and then they tell me that "Sorry, the clip isn't available at your location."!!! And then -- get this -- "Replay clip"!!!

You know, I've seen your forum pic quite often now... and today, for the fist time ever, I realized that's it's NOT some kind of weird donkey head, but a... uh... roundish squirrely-rabbity thing!!! _________________ "Welcome to the paranoia club; cheapest fees in the universe and membership lasts forever."

Thanks a lot for that link, Twopop!
One of these days I ought to remember for myself that Youtube exists...
...and it proves the point I made (well, I didn't actually, but I thought it...): what are they trying to accomplish with those location-based previews?! All they do is annoy non-US residents who then go and catch it elsewhere... if they get pointed in the right direction, that is! _________________ "Welcome to the paranoia club; cheapest fees in the universe and membership lasts forever."

Ok, I watched Razor and it does integrate the later web episodes. The film shows Lee Adama taking command of the Pegasus and going on a rescue mission of a missing Raptor crew. Kendra Shaw is an officer under Lee's command and has flashbacks of her time serving with Admiral Cain. The flashbacks show Kendra in the CIC the fateful day the Pegasus is attacked in the shipyards.
The film fills in the backstory on Admiral Cain and makes it a little more understandable why she tortures cylons and resorts to extreme tactics. You could see how Cain's ruthless and reprehensible command decisions impact Kendra, who is an impressionable young officer.
The show was like a long episode of BSG - it was gripping but not as emotionally moving as it could have been, partly because Kendra was a bit cold as a character. The whole time I kept thinking - Nazis on the ship! I thought Lee could have shown more emotion about his decisions regarding the rescue mission as well.

“Making The Ultimate Recaps”
How do you boil down 3 seasons of “Lost” into an 8-minute recap? (Hint: lots of Post-It notes.)
Met-Hodder, a marketing firm that produces TV promotions, has made a science of the process with its popular online video recaps "Lost in 8:15," Battlestar Galactica's "What
the Frak is Going On?" and "Grey's Anatomy Quick Cut," due March 31.
Most BSG fans have already watched “What the Frak Is Going On?” on SciFi’s web site.
For Europeans who cannot access that link on SciFi.com, the hilarious video is now available on YouTube.
Spoiler warning: Do not watch this if you are still watching Season 3 before the April 4th premiere of Season 4.

Two, thanks for posting the "What the Frak is Going on" recap - it's hilarious! The announcer lady sure talks fast.
I especially liked the part in the recap about Starbuck and Lee beating up on each other. Most of the folks on the show have some seriously messed up emotional issues!
In honor of BSG starting again, I have started calling my students "nuggets." I've already used the word "frak" in class (powerpoint presentation wouldn't display my carefully-chosen images. Now I only wish that my classroom had a phone in it, so I could answer with "Global Issues Actual." Yeah, my fantasies get pretty lame. As anyone who knows me can tell you, I answer my cell phone with "Scully." _________________ I have a book coming out. Wanna see it?
