[x] Remove Ad
Shortly after Lee Adama is put in command of the battlestar Pegasus, he brings in Kendra Shaw as his XO. Shaw began serving under Admiral Cain just as the Cylons attacked the 12 Colonies, witnessing first-hand the choices Cain made that kept Pegasus and its crew alive, experiences that helped mold Shaw into a razor.
When Lee is ordered by his father to rescue a missing scientific crew, they discover a missing link to the Cylons' past experiments on humans during the Cylon War, which may in turn be a key to everyone's future.

Episode Notes |
| |
Survivor count: 49,579
| The present-time period in this episode is set late into Season 2. Based on the events depicted here, it's easily surmised that this takes place after "The Captain's Hand" and before "Lay Down Your Burdens", but is difficult to assume where it fits in as "Razor", "Downloaded", and the first part of "Lay Down Your Burdens" all share the exact same survivor count.
| An eight-part series of flashback scenes were released online and aired during Flash Gordon beginning October 5th, leading up to the television airing of the film. A portion of these scenes, which tell of a particular experience Willliam Adama has during the first Cylon War, are integrated into the film as part of a flashback, but the entire series is available as an independent feature on the DVD, which shows Adama having the flashback two days before the Cylon attack.
| Although "Razor" is often referred to as a movie, it still has the show's standard credit sequence, but unique in that the title appears onscreen.
| Even though they are credited, Aaron Douglass, Tahmoh Penikett, Michael Trucco, Alessandro Juliani, and Kandyse McClure do not appear in this episode. Matthew Bennett is also credited, but appears only in the flashback webisodes.
| Katee Sackhoff's name has been reintegrated into the starring cast credits since it was removed in "The Son Also Rises" following Kara's supposed death. Michael Trucco has also been added to the opening cast of regulars.
| This is the first time Cain's first name, Helena, is given onscreen. It is also the first time we hear Gina's name spoken; her last is revealed to be Inviere.
| Shaw states that "Inviere" is Old Gemenese for "resurrection". In reality, the word is Romanian, but has the same meaning.
| This feature-length episode makes up 2 episodes of the season's 22 episode order.
| The episode was screened for free Novemeber 12, 2007 in selected cities.
| The Cylon War lasted 4,571 days. This is roughly 12 and half years, assuming the show's measurements of time is close in proximity to our own.

Episode Goofs |
| |
Kendra Shaw is seen with a band-aid on the end of her right index finger during both the flashbacks while serving under Cain and those scenes set in the "present". It seems unlikely that she would still be wearing the band-aid ten months later and even less likely to be a coincidence.
| While in the basestar, at one point Kara can be seen with a tattoo on her left arm (it is more visible in the extended version). This is clearly the tattoo she gets when she marries Sam Anders, something that won't happen for months from the prespective of the story's present setting. It disappears in later scenes.
