Battlestar Galactica: Razor is a television film for the hugely popular Battlestar Galactica series to be aired in the Sick Fi channel, the premier TV channel of America for science fiction series on November 24, 2007. In Britain it will be broadcast on Sky One from December 5, 2007. The series is eagerly awaited by all the fans because it links season three with four and the film is made of 2 episode from the 22 episodes of the fourth season of Battleship Galactica.
Battleship Galactica: Razor is the prequel of the main series and answers many questions that have baffled the avid watchers of BSG. It will tell more about some characters and show some events that were reported earlier. Telling the story of Pegasus the sister ship of Galactica, it sometime runs parallel to the main story and flashbacks as well as linked characters are used to link the two.
The story of Battlestar Galactic: Razor will be lost to many viewers who are seeing the series for the first time because there are references to character and incident which the fans of the series should know. Still any new viewers tuning into this television film can get some help as the whole crew of Galactica makes occasional appearance in the film. The producers says the time period of the series is somewhere from the season three of Battlestar Galactica and the results of the actions taking place in this film is reflected in the season four.
The main thrust of the story in Battlestar Galactica: Razor is on the character of Admiral Helena Cain played by Michelle Forbes whose character and story line got quite a popular from the season three of the main series. The viewers will learn much about her character like how she watched her family members die due to the attack of the Cylons and her hatred for the Cylon prisoner Gina.
The story of Battlestar Galactica: Razor is much more brutal and hard than that of Galactica as survival is the first and foremost though on the minds of members of Pegasus. That is why there are scenes like Cain ordering shooting of civilians to frighten them to comply with her orders. Plus there is the scene of shooting of Cains XO Colonel Jurgen Belzen as was reported by another character before.
Many popular characters of BSG are missing from Battlestar Galactica: Razor like Starbuck or Gauis Balter but compensated by the character of Kendra Shaw played by Jamie Bamber. She is much like Starbuck and goes one step ahead of the latter and is ready even to sacrifice her own life to get the job done. She perfectly fits the tradition of the producers to show strong women characters in the series. Wikipedia
