Razor (101 minute extended version - not the 81 minute broadcast version) TV mov
ie. If you have this on DVD or Bluray, you have the extended version.
Important note: This was originally broadcast just before Season 4, but chronolo
gically it fits here, telling more of the Pegasus's story.
Some people argue it's better to watch after Season 3, as originally broadcast,
but it makes most sense to watch it here.
Read here for instructions on how to avoid the unintentional spoilers in Razor..
Optional: Razor Flashbacks
Note: This was billed as a "seven episode web series", but really they are just
deleted scenes from the shorter broadcast version of Razor.
In fact, most of these scenes are now reintegrated into the extended version of
Razor (the one on DVD and Bluray), making what's left even more unessential.
(Read more about these deleted scenes here.)

The Face of the Enemy - A 10 episode web-based series (although it plays togethe
r like an intense mini-episode). (36 mins.)
These episodes have not been included on any DVD or Bluray releases, but if you
live in the US you can view them for free on Hulu.com.

The Plan (DVD/Bluray movie) A stand-alone movie that shows (approximately) the f
irst two seasons from the Cylons' perspective.
(You finally get to see "The Plan", mentioned all those times in the opening seq
uence!)
Although The Plan was originally released after the show had finished,
it is generally agreed that it should be watched here, so that everything is all
tied up when you do reach the end.
4.16 Deadlock
4.17 Someone to Watch Over Me
4.18 Islanded In a Stream of Stars (62 minute extended version - only on BluRay
releases)
4.19 Daybreak (150 minute extended version - only on BluRay releases)
The Plan : This is where this DVD/Bluray movie was originally released (after th
e show had finished).
It seems universally agreed that it's preferable to watch this after No Exit.
Instead of after you've finished the entire series, but there's no harm in waiti
ng until now.
Post BSG:
Caprica -- An entire TV series set 58 years before the events of Battlestar Gala
ctica, and revealing the events surrounding the creation of the Cylons.
(Although it's worth noting that you don't have to have seen BSG to watch Capric
a...
and some people have decided to watch this series first, even though it was prod
uced after BSG had finished.)
Blood and Chrome -- This was potentially a whole new show at one stage, but it a
ppears to be now just a stand-alone TV/web movie.
The story follows the exploits of a young William Adama during the First Cylon W
ar, and is considered a sequel to Caprica and a prequel to Battlestar Galactica
