Battlestar Galactica: Razor
Did anyone see this? It premiered last week. I DVR-ed it and when I tried to watch it I was bored within five minutes. There was too much knife flipping and I just didn’t feel like investing in new characters or characters I didn’t care about. I wanted it to focus on the normal cast and not the Pegasus.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I’ll definitely watch it at some point. It just felt too “heavy” and didn’t get my attention right away so now I’m putting it off till later. But for those of you who did see it, how was it? Should I make it more of a priority to watch it or what?

It does start out kind of slow, but picks up in the middle and then kind of slows back down again at the end. But if you are a fan of the show it gives all of the backstory for the Pegasus, which I found interesting, and we even see some more old style Cylons and the TALK (Craig did a cheer for that). There were some bits that filled in gaps from the last seasons, and some bits that I think will be explained more next season.
I think Admiral Cain, who the story revolves heavily around, is an interesting character because she is not what most people think of as a typical woman. And, this story poses some interesting questions about human emotion and ethics in the face of war and survival.
While I did not walk away feeling like it was the best story ever, I did enjoy it overall.

I’ve seen every episode and there are times I enjoy the show… but I guess I’m just not a “real” fan because there are just too many episodes that drag or are flat out confusing. So if I’m going to sit down and watch two hours of “Galactica” I want to know more about the current situation and not the back story of a ship that appeared in the second season.
I’m guessing I’ll sit down and really watch “Razor” this weekend or next week ((fall sweeps end this week so most shows are going into re-runs)).
