"one of the story lines everyone had really liked was the Pegasus story and the character of Admiral Cain, so we decided to go with that." In the weeks prior to the movie's premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel, a series of mini "webisodes" (each less than five minutes in length) called Razor Flashbacks were screened online to promote it. These featured a young William Adama (played by Nico Cortez) as a Viper pilot on his first mission at the end of the first Cylon War over 40 years earlier. The inclusion of the first Cylon War was a relevant plot point within the Razor TV movie and viewers got to see Cylon Centurions, Raiders and Basestars similar to those in the original series. Further references to the original series included a golden Centurion commander, and another Cylon saying, "By your command." However, while the Cylon Centurions seen here are similar in design to the original series Cylons (the original actor who provided their voices in the original series returned as well), they were CGI rather than actors in suits. DVD release Universal Studios requested that the producers of the Battlestar Galactica TV series make a one-off stand-alone TV movie that could be released on DVD almost immediately after its initial broadcast on television. Staff writer Michael Taylor pitched Moore an idea about the backstory of the Battlestar Pegasus which would work as a stand-alone production but also set up events for the forthcoming final season of the series scheduled for Spring 2008. Razor was released on Region 1 DVD on December 4, 2007, ten days after airing on the Sci-Fi Channel, and the Region 2 DVD was released on December 26, 2007 (three weeks after airing on Sky One). The DVD releases feature an extended cut of the movie and include extras such as the seven "webisodes" that were created to be screened online in the weeks prior to the movie's broadcast. The Region 1 DVD also has a featurette with cast members discussing their favorite episodes. Razor was released on Region 4 DVD on August 20, 2008, before its Ten HD broadcast premiere on September 4, 2008. SciFi.com allowed fans to choose the cover art for the DVD release, and the winning cover was announced on September 14, 2007. In the original design of the DVD cover the Battlestar Pegasus is shown to be part of Battlestar Group 75
