A Raw Deal on Battlestar Galactica Razor?
I waited months with anticipation for "Battlestar Galactica: Razor", particularly since this BSG-event offered some background on Admiral Cain (Caine?) as well as flashbacks to the cylon attack on the scorpion shipyards. My desire to see it was further enhanced by fact one, that it will be a long wait between now and the premiere of BSG season 4 , and fact two, that Galactica is coming to an end.
Well, that's what you get for daring to look forward to something. For weeks and weeks, sci-fi channel had been pumping fans with Razor "flashbacks", interspersed through other programs in their lineup. These were cool scenes, usually of young Admiral Adama.
Only thing is, when Razor aired on Sci-fi network, you didn't see those flashback scenes...you have to buy the Razor dvd to see them.
What a rip! I mean, come one. That is pure BS.
Nonetheless, I went out and bought the dvd, just like the clowns at the network figured I (and thousands of other BSG fans) would.
Can you say "conned", "hoodwinked", "ripped off"? Better yet, can you say all those things in a poem that describes how crappy Sci-fi network is?

Greetings from NYC - I can understand why you might feel ripped-off but if you had read ANY of the interviews with the PTB who create BSG, you would have known that the Flashbacks were scenes that were written for RAZOR but simply did not fit into the time-slot for the airing. There was never any deceit about this from Ron Moore, SciFi Channel, Universal Home Video, etc. In fact, the entire venture was the idea of the Home Video division as a revenue stream in between seasons and has never been treated as anything else. I assure you that the DVD version is well worth the $20-25 you will spend on it. So say we all! LT Laughtrack
Actually, I got the DVD on sale at Bestbuy for $19.99 and, yes, definitely well worth it.
