  We watched Battlestar Galactica: Razor last night.
  
  I am not a fan of stand alone TV movies that are supposed to help fill in gaps between the episodes of a TV series.  Razor was one such movie.
  
  I also am not a fan of the liberal use of flashbacks especially when they are used to create dramatic effect around a "secret " plot point that anyone with half a brain could have figured out in the first 15 minutes.  Razor had copious amounts of flashbacks and it was hard for me to keep track of where or when I was in the plot.
  
  I think it would have been much better if all the bits were stringed out in chronological order.
  
  I did appreciate the nod to old TV series with the use of the old model of Cylons.  That was about the only thing that was exceptional.  I don't know if it was worth the rest of the stuff, and some may say it was a bit contrived, but I am glad they worked it in.
