Razor (plus "Razor Flashback" webisodes)

Razor Flashback webisodes

• I enjoyed how the actor playing Adama took on the mannerisms, voice quality and all. Very nice job.
• Interesting to see old Cylon models, and to see what they see.
• How convenient this planet that Adama parachuted down to has a breathable atmosphere.
• "All of this has happened before, and will happen again." I didn't recognise that voice. Whose was it?
• If there's one thing we should all have learnt from television it is that you do not put your hand in a bath of opaque orange water in a room full of pieces of human bodies. You should know better, Bill.
• Was that guy in the room who Husker was trying to get out Leoben? Or is it the actual human that Two was based on? And if so, is that how Adama figured out Leoben on Ragnor station in the Miniseries was a skinjob? Also, could this mean that this is the person Kara was being lead by through her memories with her mother in Maelstrom?

• Hooray for more Starbuck!
• Flashbacks within flashbacks. At first I thought this would get confusing, but surprisingly, no.
• Gina's surname meaning "resurrection" was interesting, though a little uncreative of the Cylons.
• Why is Cain such a bitch to Shaw, and why is it funny?
• Gina awkwardly joining in with the chant of "so say we all".
• Gina and Cain as lovers was interesting, but it made me realise how this show seems to have no problem presenting lesbian relationships (or at least implied ones, for example between Three and Six with Gaius), but there haven't been any gay ones yet. Unfortunately, this seems to be  a common discrepancy on television (c.f. Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
• Cain killing her XO was just the first of many unbelievable things she did. Does she have a licence for that or something?
• It was kind of sloppy of the Cylons to send a Six with the Pegasus boarding party. They must have realised that would increase the chance of Gina's cover being blown. Perhaps they intended that, as a punishment, or they knew it would happen eventually and were treating her as despensible.
• Which Eight is it that we meet on Pegasus, chained up giving information to Adama and the President? I can't keep up with all the Sharons!
• The man in Adama's flashback is definitely Leoben, or at least the man Leoben is based on.
• I found it very distrubing watching Cain give the order for Gina's interrogation.
• I can't believe Cain gave the order to shoot the families of those who refused to come aboard the Pegasus from the civilian fleet. Worse, however, was that Fisk and Shaw actually carried them out.
• So, we discover, that voice in Adama's flashbacks was in fact the First Hybrid, who unlike the other Hybrid, is able to carry out a coherent conversation. I am inclined to wonder if this Hybrid is in fact the man that Adama tried to save from the Cylon lab, the one upon whom Leoben was based. If he had been taken at that time and made in to a Hybrid but still aged naturally, he would probably look like that 40 years later. This might also explain his knoweldge of Kara being the bringer of the apocolypse. Maybe?
• Could we see Kara being the bringer of the apocolypse as evidence of her being a Cylon? Perhaps, but I think she's possibly even more important. I think she's the daughter of either the Cylon Leoben or the First Hybrid (who may be the same person, essentially, if you follow my previous theory).

Quotes

Adama: "Didn't think it possible, you could find an XO meaner than Saul Tigh."

Gina: "No one can survive entirely on heir own. Trust me, Lieutenant, in the end, we're all just human."

Husker: "This cocksucker's mine!"
