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?

    I skipped most of the Baltar talking to Patricia Helfer scenes and don’t feel like I missed anything.

    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

    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
