Watching order
Because there are some issues with watching this, here is the order.
Copying from the site in case it ever goes down, but this info came from here: http://thunderpeel2001.blogspot.com/2010/02/battlestar-galactica-viewing-order.html
It's probably more confusing here on trakt, so go to the above linked site for a better layout.

Razor (101 minute extended version - not the 81 minute broadcast version)
Important note: This was originally broadcast just before Season 4, but chronologically it fits here, telling more of the Pegasus's story. Some people argue it's better to watch after Season 3, as originally broadcast, but it makes most sense to watch it here.
The reason that the placement of Razor is a hotly contested issue among BSG fans is because of a bit of dialogue at the very end (in the last 10 minutes) which sets the tone for Season 4 (barely even a spoiler). Everything else in this TV movie is not a spoiler.
So why place it here, and not where it was originally broadcast, if there's any sort of issue? Because, chronologically, the story is set here, and by the time you reach the end of Season 3, the story of Pegasus will feel like ancient history. Indeed, that was the complaint echoed around the internet from fans after Razor originally aired -- it had nothing to do with what was going on in the story at that time.
As a result of this, most fans agree it's better to watch Razor here. In doing so, you'll appreciate the story more and it will have greater emotionally resonance. In short: I highly recommend that you follow my advice and watch it here.
There is one small caveat, however: In order to deal with the above dialogue issue, and so not to unintentionally alter the tone of Season 3, I have two, very specific instructions that I recommend that you follow for your absolute optimum enjoyment.
I will try not to spoil anything with these instructions, so pay attention. You need to press MUTE on your TV (and/or turn off any subtitles) in the following two moments. Both of these moments occur in the last 10 minutes of the story, so you can relax and enjoy the first 90 mins before you need to worry.
Press MUTE when:
and shortly afterwards:
That's it! That's all you have to worry about. Two very small moments, and even if you don't unmute it, it's not a huge spoiler, it just unintentionally alters the tone of Season 3 if you don't, so do try your best to follow my instructions.

Season 4
4.01 He That Believeth In Me

4.11 Sometimes a Great Notion
The Face of the Enemy
A 10 episode web-based series (although it plays together like an intense mini-episode). (36 mins.)
4.12 A Disquiet Follows My Soul (53 minute extended version - only on Bluray releases)
4.13 The Oath
4.14 Blood on the Scales
4.15 No Exit
The Plan (DVD/Bluray movie)
A stand-alone movie that shows (approximately) the first two seasons from the Cylons' perspective. (You finally get to see "The Plan", mentioned all those times in the opening sequence!) Although The Plan was originally released after the show had finished, it is generally agreed that it should be watched here, so that everything is all tied up when you do reach the end.
4.16 Deadlock
4.17 Someone to Watch Over Me
4.18 Islanded In a Stream of Stars (62 minute extended version - only on BluRay releases and Region 1 DVDs)
4.19 Daybreak (150 minute extended version - only on BluRay releases and Region 1 DVDs)
The Plan : This is where this DVD/Bluray movie was originally released (after the show had finished). It seems universally agreed that it's preferable to watch this after No Exit, instead of after you've finished the entire series, but there's no harm in waiting until now.
Then Caprica the series: http://trakt.tv/show/caprica
This has a great premise and the possibility of being a great show, but if the Brits were doing it they'd make it spectacular and in 8 episodes or less. This is a typical American "how-can-we-drag-a-short-story-into-5-season-before-killing-it-unexpectedly” show waiting to happen. I want to love it, but it just drags on and on. 6/10
Update - someone put a bullet in the back of it's head... about 4 episodes too late. Painfull to watch the further along it went.
This is feeling like The Walking Dead. Take an interesting plot and focus so much on drama that it becomes boring. I'm all for character development but I sure hope things start to happen in the show. This is no Falling Skies nor Colony but it sure isn't The Expanse either. Jury is still out
The scene between Elliott and Whiterose was just beautiful. Written and performed.
Three lackluster episodes sprinkled with cliches and tired concepts (except maybe "family" antagonists). At least the other DCU TV properties embrace their camp and play into it. This is just bad; trying to be edgy and dark.
Syfy where all good ideas go to die.
I absolutely love this movie. I realize Tom Cruise is not everyone's cup of tea but a true movie aficionado can remove himself from that and see that the acting, cinematography, story telling, pacing, music, scenery, art production and last but not least the insight in the rich Japanese culture is nothing short of awe inspiring. A beautiful piece of film making that deserves your respect, even if you don't like the man in the leading role for whatever reason.
:heart:x10
I think I have a lot to say about this one - so please bear with me.
First, I have to say this is an incredible depiction of the Life of Christ. The best by far. This series is incredibly well written, well produced, with great cinematography, fresh music as well as some great acting. It is vastly different from other shows or movies that portray the life of Christ. This one does it without being preachy, or quite so hard nosed about hitting the viewer over the head with the Gospel.
Are all the details accurate? No. Of course not. How could they be. There are obviously no written documents of life and individual interactions between all the people portrayed. And YouTube and Ticktock weren't around in those days yet either. So we have very little insight into the detail lives.
What we do have are the works of many Biblical scholars over the years who have pieced together what general life would have been like back then and that knowledge is put to use in this series. And obviously the conversations are fictional but at least try to portray what we know about the people and their lives from the Bible.
One of the most amazing things to witness in this show is how every person feels very real with real emotions, and humor.
I highly recommend that everyone watch this series if they can (with an open mind of course).
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Don't believe in all the comments you see on the internet about this. People are expecting too much from productions and are used to american cinema and shows. It's a very interesting piece of art even without being that memorable. To true science fiction lovers.
each episode is a masterpiece
This show went full-on The OA, I’m...
An awesome movie, a must have in anyone's collection
They just keep throwing questions at you until you forget what the question was
While this wasn't an amazing series, I think it was far better than reviews would lead you to believe. Overall enjoyable with excellent acting, and some majestic cinematography. It was worth the watch.
Amazing episode, mind blowing and utterly confusing. Superb dialogue and terrific soundtrack.
The story needs to ne pushed forward to another level. The kripton civilization is supposed to be much advanced than ours. They are more developed technologically but socially & humanly they are way underdeveloped. It's a real contradiction. They are governed by a medieval tyrannical rule. We don't see the role of media at all. How did they dare to execute a famous scientist without verifying his claims? It was too odd. I hope just that the scenarists will find a plausible explanation. Like a possible corruption of some members of the ruling council for some reasons. The geopolitical plot was not well made. I really wanted have a zoomed glimpse on krypton but I wasn't really satisfied. They could've done better. In spite of this the story has a great potential if they know how to retrieve it...
Although they allocate huge budgets for star wars movies, they cannot achieve the success they have achieved in this animated series or clone wars series (unfortunate).
