(BSG-75), which is actually Galacticas group. This was updated online in less than a week to reflect the correct group (BSG-62). The unrated edition was also included in the Battlestar Galactica Season 4.0 DVD set, released on January 16, 2009. A Blu-ray of the unrated version was released December 28, 2010. Reception According to David Howe, executive vice president and general manager of the Sci Fi Channel, special screenings of Razor held in eight U.S. cities "led to lines 'around the block' at participating theaters"; Microsoft sponsored the screenings in New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Seattle. One reviewer called it a "well-crafted, scintillating slice (pardon the pun) of the 'Battlestar' universe" but noted that "fans may be disappointed with the significantly reduced screen time—or total absence—of beloved 'BSG' characters"; the reviewer also made it clear that the producers failed to make it a stand-alone story: Those not primed in BSG lore and vernacular will be lost in the murky waters of specific references and flashbacks, not to mention the continuous switch from one time period to another. Razor is not for someone just getting into BSG. It's a reward for fans of the show who've been waiting patiently for new episodes. Brian Lowry of Variety disagreed, saying it "deftly stands on its own while still weaving in the show's dense 'Who's a Cylon? mythology" though a flashback set 40 years before the present would cause "any casual viewer [to] easily throw up their hands"; Lowry also notes that "the focal point of Shaw's story—nicely played by Jacobsen—has the feel of one of those old-time Star Trek or even Bonanza episodes, where a guest star allowed much of the cast to take a bit of a siesta." Razor was nominated for a 2008 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, losing to an episode of Doctor Who. It also received two Creative Arts Primetime Emmy nominations, for its cinematography and its sound mixing.
