Battlestar Galactica - Razor

For the fans of Battlestar Galactica, this is for you. Battlestar Galactica Razor is the perfect interlude to keep fans satiated until the series makes its return next year. I've recently had a chance to watch the made for TV movie chronicling the desparate battle for survival that took place on the Battlestar Pegasus after the destruction of the human colonies... I have to say, it was outstanding. Far better than what I expected. The show picks up from where Captain Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) is handed control of the Pegasus after its former captain, Rear Admiral Cain, is murdered. It follows the storyline of Kendra Shaw played by Aussie actress Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen, who does a brilliant job in her own right portraying the guilt burden she carries as a result of some of her actions during the Pegasus' darkest hours. This episode in the Battlestar Galactica series has a very ominous feel to it, and plays as the perfect foreshadow for the upcoming final season airing next year. Although I highly recommend Razor for anyone who's already a fan of the show, for any new comer, there's a ton of back-story to trek through which would be essential for actually knowing what's going and how it impacts the plot.

Although the show hasn't aired yet, an excellent quality DVD screener is available through torrents. I really enjoyed this mini-movie so I'll be watching it again when it actually airs in a few weeks.

This clip is actually from the beginning of season 3, and features the chaotic escape from New Caprica, with the final sacrificial voyage of the Battlestar Pegasus ultimately being used as a means for escape.
