Battlestar Galactica Series Shortened Watch Order? (lemmy.ml)

The 2000s series had a great story line that I kept thinking about in different ways over the years. Really, what a good show. It popped in my head again and I'd love to rewatch it. I enjoyed so many plots, but honestly, didn't enjoy others.

If I remember correctly, they dragged out all of season 3 and rarely gave out information that moved the main plot along. Writer's strike of 2008, right? It was worth watching all the way through one time and I powered through it, but I don't want to do it again.

So many years later and there still isn't a movie length edit of the TV series. Someone could edit all the important information of the main story line into a 2 hour movie or 10 hour mini series. Maybe I could watch the most important episodes and skip all the filter. Thanks for any suggestions.

Does anyone have an abbreviated watch order?

There are 74 episodes, I don't think a 2 hour movie would really do it justice.

You could try to skip some of the early season by watching "The Plan", though it's more of a companion than a replacement

Omg I haven't heard of The Plan! A companion movie you say...

I definitely want to watch the early seasons. It was season 4 maybe that progressed way too slowly. Every episode had the same flashback to the opera house and it took forever to actually get there.
