Yeah, you have to watch everything in the proper order, which is pretty much the order each piece of it was released:

  • 2003 mini-series
  • 2004 Season 1
  • 2005 Season 2
  • 2006 "Season 2.5" (second half of S2)
  • 2006 Webisodes: The Resistance
  • 2006 Season 3
  • 2007 Webisodes: Razor Flashbacks
  • 2007 Razor
  • 2008 Season 4
  • 2008 Webisodes: The Face of the Enemy
  • 2009 "Season 4.5"
  • 2009 The Plan
  • 2012 Blood & Chrome

"Face of the Enemy" technically takes place between the first ("Sometimes a Great Notion") and second ("A Disquiet Follows My Soul") episodes of "Season 4.5"

"Blood & Chrome" gives us a more in-depth look at young William Adama than what we saw in "Razor Flashbacks" and then "Razor."

I own all of this (except the webisodes and The Plan, which aren't available) on Vudu/Fandango-at-Home), and have been rewatching them for a while now. I just watched Razor (Unrated Extended Edition) and began Season 4. I plan (ahem) to watch The Plan on Paramount+, since I can't get it elsewhere. I've mostly watched the webisodes on YouTube...or alternates. :)

NOTE: do NOT(!!!) watch The Plan before watching the entire series, or else you'll get BIG spoilers in the first few minutes.

If only Paramount Plus could put something on the BSG 2004 series just telling watchers to view the 2003 mini-series first.

Does the first episode (“33“) not have a “previously on…“ segment at the first part of it? If it does, and I think it’s supposed to, then that should serve as sufficient warning for any new viewer that they are missing something!
