Razor's Edge

Ah, Battlestar, how we love you so! Now it's been way too long since you came around here, but boy are we glad you're back.
Now while the regular series doesn't come back till the beginning of next year, there is some new BSG out there for you. First and foremost is the new "movie", Razor. What is Razor exactly? Well, here's what SciFi.com had to say about it, "...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". Most of the story will be told through the eyes of Lee's new XO, Major Kendra Shaw, a veteran of the Pegasus. Since Shaw wasn't seen during the regular show, I can only assume she doesn't last all that long. Should be excellent as always. Razor will
premiere Saturday November 24th, 8pm CST. Just a week later on December 4th the unrated extended version comes out on DVD.

But thats not all! Every Friday till Razor airs, SciFi will be showing short two minute Razor Flashbacks during Flash Gordon. Must be the only way they can get people to watch it. But never fear, you can get them on the web as well! Either go to SciFi.com, or, if you want them in a little bigger screen, IGN.com has them as well. These tell the story of Billy "Husker" Adama's first mission against the Cylons as a combat pilot. It really doesn't look different then the regular series, even some of the shots were either directly lifted from the original mini-series, or they re-shot them to evoke a similar
manner. Its pretty good, and they even did a good job with the actor (Nico Cortez) portraying the young Adama. Either they found someone with similar facial scarring, or edited it in post, but it looks like him enough for me. His voice though is pure Lee Adama, even to the point that I went and looked to see if Jamie Bamber was listed on the credits.

So you think that's all the BSG you can handle? Wimp. If, like me, you have an XBox 360, there is a new BSG arcade game. Not quite as good as the game put out a few years back for the XBox and PS2, but still enjoyable. It is, after-all, just an Arcade game. And check out the store this January when we get the new Colonial Viper Mark II statues in. Roughly a little smaller then the Galactica statues we have now, they will also be a little cheaper. A hundred, I think, don't quote me on that though.

So, new "webisodes", new movie, new game, new statues, and a new season. Get your fix now.
