Introduction: This article is not an Amway text of this play, its main purpose is to give a guide to all those who already want to watch this play but do not know how to start. This is because when I personally wanted to recommend this drama to all mankind, I found that because the content of this drama is too much, full of various special editions, extended versions, movies, etc., many people can not fully enjoy the shock brought by this drama.
I synthesized my own movie-going experience and several foreign blogs to present this article, no spoilers, guaranteed a complete experience. This drama is not very popular in foreign countries, let alone in China, most people think that the name of this drama causes many people to turn their heads and ignore its own content.
I don't know if anyone has written a similar article, but it doesn't matter, because: All Of This Has Happened Before And Will Happen Again. And again. And again. And again. And again...

Razor (Extended Version) (Sharp Edge, Movie, Extended Version, Approx. 101 Minutes, No Need for 81 Minutes TV Version)
Here's the point!
The movie was actually released before the fourth season aired, but according to the timeline should be put here to watch, but things are not so simple: the last 10 minutes of the movie have a few lines to prepare for the fourth season, if you hear those lines here, although not a spoiler, but it will affect the feeling after this, especially the third season.
The reason why it was finally decided to put this movie here is because what happened to this movie is already a distant memory after the third season. If you look after the third season, almost all of the highlights of the film will not be so easy to feel, and it will not help what is about to happen in the fourth season.
So there's a way to maximize the fun of the movie while avoiding knowing some key things before season four. Personally, I highly recommend watching this movie according to this method, it is not complicated.
method:
Turn off the sound and subtitles until those lines appear, and you'll only see the characters on the screen talking, but you won't know what they're talking about. After these few lines, you can turn on the sound and subtitles.
This way you will enjoy the whole story of the movie until you come back after watching the third season and then come back to listen to these lines, which happen in the last 10 minutes (not counting the production staff list), so you can watch the first 90 minutes with peace of mind. There are only two places in total where the sound and subtitles need to be turned off, and the hints are given without spoilers.
The first: Turn off the sound and subtitles as High grabs Shaw with his hand (Hybrid may be translated as a hybrid, Shaw may be translated as Shaw), and when Hybrid lets go, the sound and subtitles can be turned on.
Second place: Shortly after the first place, when Red One starts contacting headquarters (Red One may translate as Red One), you will hear Red One say "Actual, This is Red One, Come in", where you can turn off the sound and subtitles. When the red number one appears on the screen again, you can turn on the sound and subtitles. (Actually, it's okay before that, but there's really no other clue to provide))
Well, what you need to pay attention to is that these two small places are really not complicated to implement. Even if you accidentally know the content of those few lines, it is not a spoiler, but it will only affect the mood after this. If you don't want to know something when you shouldn't, then just do it the way you did it.
Options: Razor Flashbacks (Blade Flashback, Web Series, 7 episodes, 7 episodes total around 18 minutes)
The reason why it is optional is because this so-called web series is actually a deleted clip of the Razor movie, with a collection of 1 to 7 versions. Four of the parts have been added to the extended version, and the remaining 3 unincorporated clips are 1, 2, and 7, which are connected to a complete story, and if you are interested, you can watch it in its entirety.
Let's finish watching the second season.
18. Downloaded
19. Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I
20. Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II
Poster of resistance
The Resistance (Resistance, Web Series, 10 episodes, 10 episodes totaling 25 minutes)
The role of this web series is to connect the second and third seasons, and there are 1 to 10 collection versions, which are highly recommended.

Previous season's Razor (mute part)
Yes, you can now go and see the lines that were muted out of the last ten minutes. This is also the time when the film was originally released, if you can, you can look at some of the content from this ten minutes ago, and listen to what Hybrid said before, and you will be very surprised that you can understand the meaning of these words now.

The second half of season four has plenty to note, in the following order:
11. Sometimes a Great Notion
The Face of the Enemy (Web Series, 10 episodes, 10 episodes total 36 minutes)
Poster of the face of the enemy
This web series is highly recommended, laying the groundwork for what happens after that, with a 1-10 episode compilation.
A Disquite Follows My Soul (Extended Version) around 53 minutes extended version
13. The Oath
14. Blood on the Scales
15. No Exit
The Plan (plan, film)
Part of the planned movie poster, full picture with spoilers
This movie was originally released after the end of the show, but it works best here. It plays the first two seasons from the perspective of a Cylon person, answers many questions (such as what is the plan!), and gives you peace of mind to the ending.
16. Deadlock
17. Someone to Watch Over Me
18. Islanded In a Stream of Stars (Extended Version) around 62 minutes extended version
19-20-21. Daybreak (Extended Version) Extended Edition, with a total duration of about 150 minutes.
Note that only the 19-20-21 compilation here is a 150-minute extended version, 19 episodes are a separate episode, and then the 20-21 version as the lower half is only about 130 minutes long.
VII. The End of the Whole Drama (Main Drama Part)
Viii. Spin-offs of Battlestar Galactica (BSG).
Caprica (18 episodes in all seasons)
The timeline of this drama is in the first 58 years of BSG, and many people put this drama as a prequel before BSG, but I personally do not recommend it: it is not that this show is not good, the reason is that Caprica is too different from BSG, which has led to many people misunderstanding the content of BSG. For example, if BSG is a political drama, then Caprica is a family drama. Interested can watch after BSG, but it should be noted that the show was cut after the first season, so there is definitely something wrong with the plot.
Blood and Chrome (film)
It was originally intended to be broadcast as a new show, but for various reasons it eventually became a movie. The timeline is before the BSG after Caprica, and there are no BSG spoilers in this movie, so there is no problem watching at any time. There are currently 3 versions of the film, one is a TV version divided into 10 episodes (which is the movie together), and the other two are a graded version and an unrated version.
postscript
Although there are detailed movie guides abroad, I have not been able to find anything similar in China. The personal experience with this drama is a long story, but after experiencing the entire content of the entire series in its entirety, the individual has been healed and redeemed from it. Therefore, with gratitude and love for this series, I want people who want to have a relationship to be able to fully appreciate this drama that has been ignored by most people for a long time like me, and wrote this Chinese version of the movie guide.
Under the recommendation of a friend, I decided to post this article in the core of the machine, although it is not clear what the rules here are, but for individuals, I welcome to reprint, do not need to be named, only hope that more people can see. This show is not without flaws, it is not flawless, and I personally will not do a review of this show here. Aside from giving this show an eternal place in my heart and highly recommending it to everyone, I won't have much more Amway here.
If you've missed or given up on the show for various reasons before, you can consider following this guide to embark on another movie journey. I sincerely hope that you will have an unforgettable movie memory like me, and I also hope that more friends in the core of the machine can understand this work.
