Battlestar Galactica RAZOR Premieres Tonight

Are you ready BATTLESTAR GALACTICA fans? The long awaited, two hour movie event, “Razor”premieres tonight at 9/8c on the SciFi Channel. And I can tell you first hand that it’s frakkin’ incredible!! Ducky and I went to an advanced screening of “Razor” here in Boston a few weeks ago and it was amazing.

I’m sorry that I don’t have much time to write about it today, but I just had to remind you all that it was on. And yes, even those of you who have never seen Battlestar Galactica should consider checking out “Razor” of for no other reason than to see what the rest of us have been praising!!

Here’s the scoop of “Razor”

The special two-hour episode “Razor”, which will serve as a backdrop for the events of season four of Battlestar Galactica, 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.

Lee Adama’s new XO, Major Kendra Shaw, is plagued by memories of her service and sacrifices under Admiral Helena Cain, who was able to save her ship during the Cylon attack — but only by making Shaw and her fellow officers rationalize suicidal battle tactics and brutal war crimes against their own people.

In the crucible of war, Shaw must let her hesitation and doubts burn away, until all that remains of her is the honed edge of a living human weapon — what Colonial veterans call “a razor.” But an edge so fine cuts in more than one direction. It can cleave an enemy to pieces … or it can carve away a person’s soul.

The acting and the writing are BSG at its best.  The moral questions it raises and the shocking reveal that will prove so important to the upcoming final season of Battlestar Galactica should not be missed.

I loved it in the theater, I plan on recording it tonight, and I will be buying the extended DVD version when it’s released on December 4th…THAT is how good I thought it was.  I hope you’ll all check it out tonight.
