Most people I know who start watching this series view it in the order of release. Well, that's not really necessary or even beneficial. There are prequel series, TV movies, and web series that are scattered throughout the series run and only rarely appear in the proper order with the main series. Now, after careful analysis, I've determined that a chronological viewing is equally, if not more, acceptable as the release.
Caprica: (all episodes)
Movie: Blood & Chrome (available on DVD/Blu Ray or digital download)
Webisodes: Razor Minisodes (available on Razor DVD)
Season 1: (all episodes)
Season 2: Scattered - The Captain's Hand
Season 4 Movie: Razor
Season 2: Downloaded - Lay Down Your Burdens
Webisodes: The Resistance (available on DVDs and online)
Season 3: (all episodes)
Season 4: He That Believeth in Me - Sometimes a Great Notion
Webisodes: Face of the Enemy (only available online)
Season 4: A Disquiet Follows My Soul - No Exit
Movie: The Plan
Season 4: Deadlock - Daybreak
If you're planning to enter the Battlestar saga for the first time, I suggest you follow the order I've laid out and tell me what you think. Caprica and the first two web series are optional, but recommended. It's also all or nothing. If you skip Caprica, then jump straight to Battlestar Galactica season 1. Neither Blood & Chrome nor the Razor Minisodes function very well as introductory material.
If you're familiar with BSG and are planning to introduce someone to it, read on and I'll outline my reasons for this order.

The Most Epic Movies Never to be Made
So we all have a few film ideas rolling in our head. Films we'd like to see made and, if done right, would be great. Odds are, though, they will never enter production. As a prospective filmmaker, I have more than a few, and while I'm usually paranoid about sharing my ideas in case I actually get around to making them, here's a few I don't mind letting loose in case someone in Hollywood picks up the baton.
