I convinced a friend to watch the new series. Is there a certain order to watching this if you were starting from scratch? (Not including Caprica)
There have been some flashback dvds and bonus material.
Original Miniseries
Seasons 1-3
Razor
Season 4
Ignore "The Plan."
dont forget the webepisodes - they go between season2 and 3
I concur. The Plan was mildly interesting, but didn't really bring anything necessary to the storylines presented in the series.The Plan is an interesting aside, but not necessary to understanding the series.
...'A long time ago – but somehow in the future'”
when they get to the algae planet, skip that entire season
Which season was all about the politics? I would say skip most of that season.
Have to agree with this^^
Watching "The Plan" before the rest of the series could be spoilerish. I think (at best) you can get away with watching it after the first few episodes of the 4th season. Personally I watched it after finishing the series.
It was okay. Nothing truly staggering. Just nice to see the characters one more time.

If you wanted to watch The Plan before the finale, I'd watch it after the first episode of the mid-season break of season 4. Mainly for one particular reveal.Have to agree with this^^

No, no, no. Do not skip any seasons. This is not a show where you can say 'eh, screw this season'. You'll miss stuff which will be important later, ESPECIALLY the Algae planet sequence of events!
