The re-imagined Battlestar Galactica started by telling us that the Cylons had a plan... so, now sometime after the end of BSG, we have the release of "The Plan"... and it's no exaggeration to call this a glorified clip show.

We get some insight into certain events - mostly (as you'd expect) seeing what the Cylons were doing in the human fleet... Apparently their master plan didn't involve Galactica escaping - they wanted to wipe out humanity in one move... and the way they kept getting the fleet's position was because the human form Cylons that died were giving co-ordinates to the Cylon fleet.

There isn't much to write home about. For the true BSG aficionado - it will fill in some blanks... but really, what it seems to highlight most is that the plan... wasn't very good. Other than that, it really comes down to... a little background. There are no cosmic revelations to be had about the story, no awe inspiring twists... which is probably for the best. For an average BSG fan... maybe not so much - possibly for nostalgia value... but if you want to watch the show again... why not just watch the show again?
