Re: Battlestar Razor in HD?

Bought Razor 'unrated' R1 dvd on ebay on Tuesday, watched it Wednesday night - 15 minutes longer than the TV version (FX and flash backs) lots of extras on the disc - Couldn't wait for the Sky showing

Can't wait for the final season - next easter (is it?)

funny you should say that, because the Sky mag lists it as being shown on the 5th of December (this Wednesday coming), but when you go on the EPG some low-quality film is on 'starring' Robert Englund.

As the other poster states, it must be on the 18th instead

Re: Battlestar Razor in HD?

Yes.
It deals with the Pegasus (under Kane in the second season) and their back story but also contains elements that relate to the direction the third season took.

Yes it has, but I was surprised how bad it looked in HD. i thought it would of been a bit better even with the grain. Still an excellent show regardless.

You're not wrong !

It wasn't just that it was grainy - I expect that of Battlestar, and don't mind it at all. There were bizarre blocky picture break ups - the bit that sticks in my mind was immediately after the Pegasus was hit by the nukes.

A decent standalone episode though.

Ian.

Agreed, the PQ was awful, pretty much looked like upscaled SD to me. Like you say though, it was a superb show as always though - certainly one of my fave shows. Can't wait for Series 4...if we ever get it!
