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?

Keep in mind the mini series were an intro and a pitch.

Series 1 and 2 are pretty awesome and it slows down a little but that was mainly writers strike issues.

There is no way it could be reduced to a movie and keep the character development

Yes! Strikes are important, but it's so disappointing when they interrupt a series' momentum. I think Heros was interrupted at this same time too.

I'm afraid of skipping too much of Boomer and Helo's relationship if I jump around the episodes. Their character development really made the series for me.
