to placate my as-yet-requited longing for more Battlestar Galactica-fixes (am still waiting on Season 3 dammit), BSG: Razor sent my google-box pleasure-sensors shivering, if only to relive the glory DVD-days of yore, finding out about the show barely days before (as ever slow as i am on the uptake, frak), and while not exactly the bees'knees, it still made for an exceptional and affecting Saturday afternoon viewing ... and instead of hottie #8 (aka Grace Parks), we get a dose of Aussie, Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen, all pouty and business (lose the big hair tho). the mole on her upper lip is sexy. okay. hhmm. and while this is not (exatly) a DVD-review, im more inclined to rave on about the hybrid CYLONS! whoo-ho! what a way to bring back the old designs! always did prefer them over the new toasters ... and my mind is churning-on right now with how to convert a 1/6th-Cylon figure into the show's version ... reckon is just just need a 1/6 Terminator Endo-skeleton ... anyone? ... frankly, i wish i had the resources and finance to do-up my own series of figures ... but then again, licensing is always a bitch, innit? heh.

"Razor takes place during Apollo's first days as commander of Battlestar Pegasus (during the period originally covered in the second half of season 2) and uses flashbacks to show Admiral Cain's orders during and shortly after the Cylon holocaust, as well as events occurring on the final day of the first Cylon War. Cain's actions in the wake of the Cylon holocaust are connected to the present by Kendra Shaw, self-described as Cain's legacy; events of the final day of the first Cylon war are relayed by Admiral Adama, who discovered a lab containing the early Cylon experiments on humans as well as the first Cylon hybrid, and by Admiral Cain, who witnessed the death of her parents and sister at the hands of Cylons invading Tauron."
"Viewing the wreckage of the raider, Sharon Valerii notes that Cylon lore tells of a group of original centurions tasked to guard the first hybrid built by the Cylons as a result of their human experiments. Admiral Adama then recalls his rookie mission as a Viper pilot, when he encountered that hybrid and the early Cylon experiments on humans. Admiral Adama concludes that the Cylons must still be pursuing the experiments, with the captured science team as new test subjects." [wiki]
