Here's a link to the BG series release on DVD.

New release
includes deleted scenes
new characters (or at least not shown before)

I feel cheated they didn't release this the first time. :roll:

This could not have been release previously. It will not even show on the sci-fi channel until late November. It is actually the first two episodes of season 4 of the series. It is called Razor, and deals a lot with the Pegasus and her crew before the cylon attack and with Lee(Apollo) after he took command of the Pegasus.

Apparently, there are going to be a lot of revelations about the characters on the Pegasus. It is supposed to be really good and full of new visual effects.

Cool, I thought it was refering to the initial pilot. Interesting that they are already putting together the dvd's before the episodes even air until next year. I"m hoping they put in the deleted scenes for an extended version, not just collect them in the menu somewhere.

It's supposed to air in November.
And it has always been intended as a tele-movie type thing.
It being put on DVD on it's own has also been planned from the begining.
