I bought it mainly because Michelle Forbes was on the cover, whom I was a fan of from the Star Trek Next Gen series. After going through Seasons 1 and 2, it was time to see Razor, a virtually unknown movie with an average 4-star rating. To my pleasant surprise, this "untold story" turned out to be an essential missing link episode to an already fascinating season 2. You may have wondered about the details of Colonel Jack Fisk's inhuman stories regarding Admiral Cain, like the shooting of her XO point-blank in the head for disobeying an order, or murdering civilian families in order to obtain salvage parts for military use. We go behind-the-scenes of Cyclon Agent number Six's relationship to the Admiral and the events that lead to her capture and torture. And finally the focus of the story is on Lieutenant Kendra Shaw, who is not only the Admiral's right-hand officer, but is more than meets the eye (no pun intended). The concept of the Cyclon Hybrid is introduced.. or at least I've never heard about it up to this point, and a nice cameo of some familiar characters from the original BSG series. Overall a fascinating "flashback". If you liked Pegasus and Resurrection Ship, I recommend this dvd.
