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.

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
Please don't be cancelled please don't be cancelled please don't be cancelled...
Not cool that everyone is trying to get Nancy and Steve back together. When Jonathan isn’t around.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ?!!??!?!?! I'M IN PIECES
last 15 mins I was having the most emotional full body reaction. I was sweating n crying n breathing heavy. I'M STILL CRYING NOW??
I never thought that Marvel would dare to do a scene like that, where Rabona and Miss Minutes murder the former AVT agents in cold blood, woww... it was too strong a scene.
Seeing the cast, I'm asking myself which of the parents was the unfaithful one, since they clearly don't have the same parents.
Couldn't they at least have the same ethnicity (Don't really care which).
An underwhelming effort from a company that seems to have fallen behind the curve. Creatively it’s pulling too much from Zootopia and Inside Out while not adding much of its own flavour, almost every choice in this movie is predictable. Sure, the racism/prejudice commentary is more aggressive now that we’ve entered the post-Trump era (seriously, you should go back and look at how Zootopia handled that same topic, it feels quaint now), but besides that it doesn’t bring much to the table. The worldbuilding lacks the clever intricacies of Zootopia, the pretty animation style has some unique textures but it’s no Across the Spider-verse, and emotionally it feels more like Illumination than Pixar. It’s a very straightforward, cheesy romcom with a formulaic set-up for the main characters (think Notting Hill, Crazy Rich Asians, and countless other movies your mom loves), some ok comedy (bad puns notwithstanding) and a boring adventure (fixing pipelines, how exciting). The score’s pretty interesting because it seems to pull a lot from Indian folk music, on the other hand the songs sound generic and overproduced. Overall, I’d easily recommend this over some other animated films from this year, as this does genuinely try as a movie. However, that doesn’t change that I expect both children and adults to be mostly bored by this.
4.5/10
if anyone ever wants a definition of the term "anti-climax" then i think it's really great that we now have the perfect example
I’m not ready. Not even a little.
I've never been so happy to see someone get slapped in my life. Frankly I've been waiting on that moment for years! As this series evolved Alicia slowly became everything she hated about Peter (a liar, a conniver, and a cheater) which was why she slapped him in the pilot, so hopefully Diane's slap brought her back to her senses and she returns to being the Alicia from the first few seasons that we loved. I'll assume that's what she was thinking as she walked away. Does this mean Diane is The Good Wife now? Also, if they wanted to parallel the pilot, they should have made Peter go to jail again because he deserved it.
The whole movie consists of stupid decisions and the strongest lion to ever walk the earth. Pretty forgettable movie to be honest.
Bode annoyed me in this ep, oh a key in a clock, no idea what this could be… like please think for one sec ^^ especially after what happend with the snow globe you’d think he learned
is it noticeable I’m sick of time travel „tropes“? :‘)
(+ little kids lol)
AND he just has to have a DETAILED book with their biggest secrets laying around like he wants the villain to have a tutorial on how to win
OK, this is a pilot and they already judged sororities and men in general.
The lesbian one checks all the preconceptions there are about lesbians (for example: they hate men). Well, at least thats my take on her character.
Who goes around telling everyone what consent is and that it can be revoked at any time.
And then using the phrase while advertising for pilates?
using one or the other would have been kind of cool.
Using both in the same scene is just desperate.
Besides the SJW-Stuff: The speech about winning prices for deciphering magic scientifically was way too much.
Also: "Baking-Powder works too"? It exists for quite some time now, if witches are powerful and intelligent women you should think someone would have thought of it already or at least it would have happened by accident...
Also: Way too extreme special effects.
The Original Charmed worked as a mirror for boys/men who watched it (Can't speak to what it did for girls...), while still being fun.
This Pilot felt more like being judged for things you haven't even done.
edit:
To make it clear: Consent can be revoked at any time. I just have a problem with people, who feel the need to tell it to everyone every chance they get and kill the mood for people who are clearly both consenting.
And I also hate it, when people assume that a man won't respect a no. The ones that don't are an absolute minority.
Scenes like this strengthen that preconception...
The flowing hair in the water looks so cartoony. Cgi is awful. The actors are basically imitated the original voices, instead of using their own.:wastebasket::poop:
To anybody asking themselves "why display the green environment, even if just for the few moments before they die":
Well, so they'd clean the lens of course. A simple and cheap trick so nobody unpunished has to go outside to do so...
All this time and i still can't get over this cancelling. .-.
A slow and painful movie that starts off impressive, but the novelty soon wears off. The cast is good and the special effects are very immersive, however the whole movie is just a series of random scenes with a very loose connection. With Interstellar we got an epic space adventure, the martian gave us a bit of humour and hope for survival. I honestly don't even know what the subtext for this story is about. What I can tell you is this: Brad Pitt is an astronaut. He goes to space to discover something ridiculously obvious. Some bad things happen for absolutely no reason with no explanation and no follow up. The film ends. Wouldn't recommend even if it lands on a streaming site.
The series wasn't quite what I expected. I thought it would be more focused on missions, but it turned out to be more about romance. However, I guess it was my fault for expecting something else.
This show is one hell of a contraceptive.
A fitting ending for a wonderful, unique show. I wish Kamala and Aneesa had been given more to do during the final season, but all of the other storylines and events more than made up for this. I'll miss this fun gang of characters.
As if I couldn't love Trent any more, his idea of chilling is taking a gummy and opening up about his hopes and dreams.
I do not like Len. Jeff Garlin lacks the same fun energy of everyone else and has added a big bag of nothing to the show. Nirmala deserves better.
Good character development for Paxton all the way through. This episode stands out for me. I like this for Pax!
After 4 seasons, I think many people could watch themselves reflect in Devi's life, a person with intense emotions, kinda crazy, growing, finding herself, embracing her culture, creating strong relationships with her mom and family. Such a funny show.
This served as a nice capper to Paxton's series story arc. It was incredibly rewarding to see him help Eric, who he wouldn't have given the time of day as a fellow student; he's grown so much as a character.
One of those shows that doesn’t quite sure what it wants to be, but pretends it does so that you’re tricked into believing that there’s a point to the plot. So you keep waiting and waiting, through one disappointing episode to the next, until you realise you found the perfect show to ignore and just play at the background for some sort of sensory stimulation while you do other interesting things, just so you somehow finish it and gets off your “continue playing” list on Netflix.
This episode felt like an epilogue for the previous season, or more so an apology/acknowledgement about last season's "Trump centric" theme. I mean i did love the third installment, but the shift of the focus was just not right. I know that life is unfair, and shit happens all the time, but that doesn't mean necessarily to lose our judgement. I missed the objectivity, so i was a bit glad with this opening, because it finally seems they accept that everything has an upside and downside too. I hope we get more lawyerly stuff in the future.
If I could give this a lower rating then I would.
